Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida After the secretary of the Miami-Dade County Republican Party created the chat for college students, it devolved into slurs against Black and Jewish people.
damn it’s crazy how the slurs filled the chat all by themselves. couldn’t be helped i’m sure. chats are always devolving of their own accord
Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic
Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate. In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate. A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership. "Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

People are making fun of this but at the end they open mouth kiss and it's actually kind of beautiful. They're clearly doing hand stuff too but they don't show it.

Don’t put ants in your ears

Lick a porcupine once

One final reminder
Illinois voters are being flooded with ads from Raja Krishnamoorthi presenting himself as a pragmatic progressive. But when you follow the $$ and examine his record, a very different picture emerges.
We cannot allow IL to send the wrong Democrat to the Senate when better choices are on the ballot.
I understand the instinct to donate to orgs that are helping trans folks flee red states but let's not forget about the orgs that are still fighting for trans folks in red states.
America's foremost sleep paralysis demon Libs of TikTok tried to go after Kat for being Extremely Cool™ at the debate last night and nobody seems to have cared outside of Twitter. A dying snitch website with no juice.
oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.
COLLINS: In 2021, you began using psychedelic mushrooms. Do you stand by encouraging people to try them?
MEANS: There's exciting work in that area
C: What about when you heard an internal voice whispering, 'it's time to prepare'?
M: In my meditations I had a sense something ominous was coming
Thing is we don’t have any fucking public restrooms and refuse to offer people healthcare for any mental issues outside of jails or prison, so yeah you have every right to be upset about something like this happening, but you have to understand *why* it happens.
Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten
i'm of the opinion it was made up back on old twitter too but it's no longer made up in the respectable way that, for example, google analytics is made up
This is an interesting story @nytimes.com
It was even more interesting when I broke it a week and a day ago in The Intercept which you did not cite or mention.
holy shit we've got the first spring training games of the season getting broadcast today too, this is the most Nothing Matters But The Vibes Are Alright day in living memory
a lot of you are probably too young to remember this but there was a time when the married dhs secretary using taxpayer money for a custom built fuck palace in the sky for her to bang coworkers wouldve been a big deal
The political effects of X's feed algorithm https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10098-2 Received: 16 December 2024 Accepted: 4 January 2026 Published online: 18 February 2026 Open access • Check for updates Germain Gauthier,5, Roland Hodler?5, Philine Widmer35 & Ekaterina Zhuravskaya3,4,5 m Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects. Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.
A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.
Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.
This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Report: Staff at Dilley raiding cells to confiscate kids' letters and drawings detailing conditions inside
ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings.

if you want me to embrace ai you need to first convince me it is the best use of trillions of (our) dollars and then you need to convince me its more than a fake hypergrowth ponzi scheme meant to funnel billions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of billionaires
sluggo you dumb fucking asshole
In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a

Advocates say it would be cheaper to help families get housing.

Donald Trump said today that "Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting."

The NYTimes often doesn't quote Trump at all, instead reframing his words with a summary falsely suggesting coherent thought, in contrast to the gibberish he actually said. They also don't mention how he routinely mumbles and slurs even prepared remarks, like here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zsd...
