Closer

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.

I do like that the big bet on AI replacing the entire software industry requires everyone to take for granted that random people across every industry can imagine useful applications and then describe them in sufficient detail to make them real. I love this optimism for us

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Son asked if Mike Tyson’s MAHA as meant he was a “sellout like Snoop.” And I said “No. Think about it. The last time you saw Mike Tyson he was fighting a man half his age for money. You’re not a sellout if you NEED the money.” This feels like the right parenting move

“If I wanted to be anything other than totally repellant socially, it would be trivial for me. Due to my intellect.”

thomebody thtop me

it would be funny to spend every day after he leaves office rearresting trump for something new. catch and release that goliath grouper.

man sleeps with his pillow the long way

/2 The predominant ethos of the performatively masculine Right is “if I had my way I would stop these liberals with fire and sword, the way the ancients did, but I have been prevented by cancel culture, which involves people saying mean things to and about me.”

In 2025 America the only way the truth wins is if it gets more ratings, and more virality, than the lie

The whole interview is worth it

“Illegitimate”

holy crap youtube.com/shorts/hyqtA...

imagine seeing these ICE protests today and you as a potential governor or senator or national democratic candidate didn't push babies out of the way to get to the front of the march yall really bad at retail politics and seizing the moment huh

Look, I believe in casts, but if a parent has strongly-held anti-cast beliefs, they should be allowed to let their kid’s broken arm grow back all floppy and fucked up, even to the point of lifelong, debilitating pain. And that’s not child abuse because a kid’s bones are their parents’ property

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

I want to emphasize that at this time the unconfirmed reports that President Trump has both arms stuck "elbow deep" in the airplane toilet are just that. We will be monitoring this story. Please be responsible about spreading news that both his arms are "as far as they can go" into the toilet hole.

The US should take Greenland - cut it into 100 new states, give each state its two senators and one rep, and see what happens

"No Kings" in bright lights above the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland

The US Government should take a small (100%) stake in Tesla, SpaceX and X-AI. We paid for it, afterall.

daily routine: --wake up --feed cat --drink coffee --stare at the horrific state of the country --feed cat again --dinner --bed

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah. It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

i don't understand how the Feds can be both not investigating this and blocking the state investigations.

How it started/how it's going

Maybe the most important thing I’ve learned over the past few years is that the solution to what looks like a collective action problem is to just start solving it. People will show up.

No calls ALL GAME. Constant holding. No PIs. Then two bullshit PIs at the END???? Nope. That's refball bullshit.

On Jan 7, 2026 six Minneapolis moms subdued an ICE agent, took his gun, dragged him down the stairs, tased and beat him till unconscious. He suffered a heart attack and traumatic head injury. Oops, my mistake, that’s what pardoned peaceful protesters did to me Officer Mike Fanone on Jan 6, 2021.

the democrats are right we should focus on kitchen table issues. for example there is a guy at my kitchen table who wants to shoot me in the face with a gun

This is Kyrsten Sinema and Mitt Romney in 20 years

Gotta love playoff NFL.

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

The recent days have been horrific. We can't become numb to repeated instances of illegal and unconstitutional action by government agencies. It's even worse when public officials are blatantly lying in ways that contradict dozens of pieces of video evidence.

1/7: i don't think this is quite right in terms of first-order purpose, which is to invite you into the in-group. it's less "this is what we're believing" and more "this is the play we're running, you in?" it's this participatory aspect that makes it so powerful.

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Large vigil at the scene of the murder

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Car fox lips too black

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies. Full statement below:

Speaker Johnson must call the House of Representatives back into session immediately to reign in this out-of-control President.
