James Talarico reveals he has a "girlfriend" and wants to have kids "one day" in a new podcast interview "She is my rock. She is my best friend. I don't know if I could have gotten through the last six months of this crazy race if um if she hadn't been by my side."





I had Claude clone this repo and dig through the actual code to fact-check this post's claims. Result: Mostly crap. There is a continuous per-position decay within a feed response, but no "4/day" tripwire. In other words, the more you post per day, the more "saturated" it gets. But nothing in the code says four. More details: [ claims that are FALSE ] - "media gets 2x signal weight"... no multiplier exists. has_media is just a model feature - "replies weighted by WHO replies" ... single ReplyWeight in ranking_scorer.rs. who-replied is a UI facepile, not a scorer - "long-form 4000-char heavier weight"... zero hits for length/article/char_count anywhere - "consistent cadence > volume" ... zero hits for cadence/regularity/posting_frequency - "self-reply in first 30 min = ranking gold"... no self-reply logic. SelfTweetFilter literally removes your own posts [ claims that are UNSUPPORTED (invented) ] - recycled-template classifier ... doesn't exist - originality / AI-roundup classifier ... doesn't exist - engagement-bait closer detector ... doesn't exist - motivational-fluff penalty ... doesn't exist - text+media interaction term ... doesn't exist real classifiers in grox/classifiers/content/: spam, safety_ptos, reply_ranking, banger_initial_screen. That's it. [ claims that are PARTIALLY true but distorted ] - "4+ posts/day dilution" → real mechanism is AuthorDiversityScorer: continuous per-position decay within ONE feed response. no "4/day" tripwire - "OON discovery 3x'd" → OonWeightFactor exists in ranking_scorer.rs:225. the actual number lives in an external feature-switch service NOT in the repo. "3x" is made up - "engagement pods reweighted" → MutualFollowJaccardHydrator exists but emits stats, isn't wired into any scorer - "model reads full thread context" → conversation_id is tracked, ranker attends over user history + candidate. no explicit full-thread feature [ score ] 0/14 cleanly true. 4 partially true. 10 false or invented. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk


This is how the algorithm can completely destroy your reach over night. This is the last: Left: 3 months Right: 2 weeks Super consistent 85-95% drop on all metrics. everything after a viral post going ballistic, I tried everything, cool down, delete low quality posts, block bot accounts. Kept posting after cool down, nothing really breaks through. Short hot takes 🛑 Long form with good signal 🛑 Viral potential post 🛑 Core audience value post 🛑 What bothers me here is that 48h after posting a mega viral post I get suppressed back to the Stone Age. This follow previous situations I’ve had with the grok powered algorithm. Where it feels like tweepCred falls far below a certain level, and you’re locked into a low reach prison with every effort to break out is making it harder and harder to do so. I’m asking for transparency on what we can do as content creators when this happens. I don’t want to spam my way out of this. I’d like to know, if I did something wrong, how I can address it, take the responsibility of algorithmic suppression for what ever the length is. But this limbo is most likely going to make me leave the platform.


What Zohran Mamdani is doing is NOT EVEN SOCIALISM. You know what he's doing? He's showing what can be accomplished when the WEALTHY PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES.

Student funding in California is now a RECORD HIGH! Since Governor Newsom took office, it’s increased 66%— reaching $28,282 per student as the state makes historic investments in public education.



According to the King County Medical Examiner’s office report this afternoon: 19-year-old Juniper Blessing has been identified as the victim of the stabbing. A memorial for the student, who is transgender, has been growing in UW’s Red Square this week. @komonews


Charlamagne Tha God continues The Daily Show's recent history of saying Clarence Thomas is a race traitor. After a clip of Sen. Chris Coons, he says "This was confusing for me because 'Mr. Coons' is actually my nickname for Clarence Thomas."
