@kangminlee Man, I'll probably get dogged for this but he actually looks happy and fairly well cared for in the second half. As decent as it gets in many city adoptions anyway.

@KerbalNut @SpaceX Grok said no. Too far out in the Indian Ocean. 🥲

Joe Lim estimates that 90 percent of what you see on the internet is advertising in disguise, and he should know. For three years, Lim ran a company called Floodify, which at its peak operated 65,000 dummy social-media accounts used to drum up attention on behalf of paying clients. The point of this kind of marketing is that nobody is supposed to notice it. But lately, the machinery has started to show. In April, Justin Bieber headlined two consecutive weekends at Coachella. Coachella is the biggest stage in pop music save only for the Super Bowl, the kind of event that in theory generates its own attention. And yet on both weekends, a Discord server writer Lane Brown had been monitoring hosted paid campaigns for Bieber’s Coachella performances, offering clippers — people who are hired to turn a song, trailer, interview, stump speech, or whatever into short, social-media-friendly fragments — as much as a dollar per thousand views. “On social media, popular opinion is being formed, measured, and manipulated all at once, and every signal the platforms produce — a trending song, a backlash, a talking point, the feeling that ‘everybody’ is suddenly talking about the same thing — can now be fabricated by unseen actors with hidden agendas,” writes Brown. “Everybody is doing this now,” Lim says. “And if you’re not, you’re behind.” Brown reports on how the same techniques are now being used to fool people on every app they go to in order to find out what other people think, not just in music but across entertainment, politics, consumer products, and celebrity gossip: nymag.visitlink.me/w6Bu9N

@I_amMukhtar @elonmusk I'm just glad you're trying to help him get back to the big T by paying for your blue check.

The same people who had full-blown meltdowns when you became the first trillionaire are still broke as ever. Turns out their sacred theory “if Elon has less, my life improves,” still hasn’t delivered a single extra dollar to their bank accounts. Absolute shocker.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 😂☠️

@Tom_the_Cynic Everythingis being homogenized so that our identities will fade into nothing.

@JoshOrnot @Mrgunsngear They know a cop/human has more self control than they do. They fear the dog has less.

@Mrgunsngear Went to Harvard, now teaches kids math... I'm sure he was insta-admitted to Harvard given his Mom's privileged connections.

I just left Costco and I feel like an idiot... The people in front of me bought $1,200 in top shelf alcohol, cases of redbull, and steaks. They split it up and paid for the steaks and redbull with EBT, and then pulled out a giant wad of $100 bills to pay for the alcohol in cash. WTF am I doing with my life??? I haven't bought steak in years - I haven't bought alcohol in decades. Too expensive. On the rare occasion we eat out, I buy the cheapest thing on the menu. Yet these people can just casually drop thousands of dollars of my tax money on things I can't even afford?? Just to drive home to a taxpayer funded house nicer than I live in. We are completely destroyed as a society.

Ann Widdecombe schools a roomful of woke students on the importance of free speech. "Only two sorts of people oppose free speech... snowflakes and totalitarians." "Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult, or from hurt feelings." "It is an occupational hazard of living in society. And if you really can't take it, become a hermit." "No matter how much we may disagree with somebody, we should defend to the hilt their right to say it." "You succeed by defeating your opponent, not by wishing him away. You get nowhere by trying not to hear what is being said." "You may feel virtuous today in what you will not hear, but tomorrow somebody may feel virtuous in not hearing what you have to say." "Free speech is for all, not for the privileged few."
