This is a spectacularly important study.
Published in Nature, it provides solid evidence that this platform pushes those on the right further to the right, more pro-Trump, more pro-Russia,…
And that these effects are programmed into the platform

The CIA has shuttered The World Factbook.
It had been published and used as a reference source by journalists, teachers, students, and travelers since 1962.

It’s just amazing that this myth about Vietnam still circulates on the hard right
We did not have a reliable local partner, no matter how hard we tried, and we couldn’t seal off South VN from infiltration like we could S Korea
The only way to win was staying indefinitely or

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

Denmark no longer sees the United States as a reliable and non-threatening partner and it just cost our companies $8 billion. Turns out threatening to invade and annex Greenland was not just a harmless bit of stupidity.

It pays to be a good ally. Denmark yesterday announced our biggest defence investment ever. We will buy air defence for 8 billion euros, and it will all come from European producers. It has been a strong political desire to buy from reliable and non-threatening partners.

Lee Jae-Myung wins South Korean election, with only a slight increase in his vote share compared to his '22 loss. In the absence of a third party, the PPP might have held on here, despite Yoon's impeachment.

Been saying this for awhile, but will repeat it for emphasis: If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

ABC EXCLUSIVE: President Trump is poised to accept a luxury jet as a gift from Qatar.
It’s to be used as Air Force One and then transferred to the Trump library by January 2029.
Perhaps the biggest foreign gift ever. DOJ insists it’s legal, not bribery, not violation of emoluments clause. w/ @KFaulders

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.
