A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitterās algorithmic feed significantly shifts peopleās political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers Iāve read in awhile.

Fumigation is the only solution. If Norway, the UK, etc all go after their Epstein co-conspirators, if Brazil and South Korea go after their presidents who tried a coup, and we are left holding the bag with no consequences, our status as a global pariah will be cemented.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

To be clear: I think the regime's plan to steal the election is doomed to fail. I don't think they're going to pull it off. We can win by voting in huge numbers and mass civil resistance against their crimes. But, we're much more likely to succeed if we are prepared for their attempt.

Yeah, the people caught in the Epstein net all seem to lack a certain gag reflex. A skin-crawling revulsion at the thought of being in the presence of someone so ethically and morally disgusting. So itās pretty revealing that JKR actively sought to bring Epstein into her orbit.
