@freedomofpress IMO it may have been a mistake for your org to defend Andy Ngo — he’s an alt right fascist propagandist who will readily throw journalists under the MAGA bus (and whose Nazi followers have perpetrated at least 4 mass shootings); he’s not a journalist.

Actual journalists have certainly wound up on Neo Nazi kill lists thanks to his activities, though.

His disinformation definitely helped contribute to Trump’s re-election.

Trump keeps winning because the Democratic party refuses to be the party of the working class. https://theintercept.com/2024/11/12/trump-harris-democrats-working-class-voters/

@JoshuaHolland I was also thinking it’s funny that there’s a nonzero chance Trump might revoke Musk’s govt contracts in a fit of sheer pettiness — whereas Harris likely wouldn’t have, just because Dems are generally so committed to not rocking the boat and projecting a “bipartisan” vibe

I think there’s a good chance that Trump’s narcissism will make Musk getting a bunch of attention intolerable and he’ll kick him to the curb. Those two egos can barely fit on the same planet.

Obligatory…

I can't stop laughing at this.

@TheBestLeiya @htpcnz @JuliusGoat

it's going to be #harris or #trump in january

no other real world choice exists

one wants a cease fire the other wants to "finish the problem" in #gaza (trump said this in march)

if you want the least harm for #palestinians who are you going to vote for?

if you don't vote/ vote 3rd party, which candidate does that help?

after harris wins, if she wins, lambast her for the sake of palestinians

but on nov 5, what are you going to do to help gaza?

AI slop is being weaponized by the internet's worst grifters, who do not care that it's not real as long as it helps them further their political agenda

@jasonkoebler such an irritating (& by appearances kind of obtuse?) “flood the zone with shit” maneuver

“Stay alive” is such a funny admonition in what a minuscule portion of humanity it addresses

The irony is not lost on me that the Internet Archive went out of its way to acquire the physical versions of millions of books and loan them out carefully and in a limited way, and is facing a near-extinction-level event over it, while for-profit and VC-backed companies are just stealing people’s content and making up excuses to validate the bad behavior.
