Because Twitter no longer meaningfully penalizes accounts that spread lies, incite conflict, or promote hate, and has now monetized engagement, it's created a system where these bad actors can profit.

I know this because I've lived it ...

Dogs comforting babies. AI. A Chihuahua joining a wolfpack.Fake. Not real. Bogus baby.That's a fake baby. One of the tricks that AI uses to pass as legit is to use a camera that has a kind of evidency type feel to it, like this trail camera that shows a Chihuahua getting adopted by wolves, or this CCTV style security camera with the date and time baked into the footage. And by the way, all three of these videos are dated within 9 days of each other.So that's a crazy coincidence, especially because everyone' ...

I want to pivot and talk a little bit about the elephant in the country, which is your grandfather was obviously the president of the United States and your family is one of the most storied political dynasties in American history, but Trump has been seemingly obsessed with dismantling your family's legacy. He's declassified previously classified Kennedy assassination records. He's paved over the rose garden, which your grandmother last renovated with her friend Benny Bunny Melon in 1961.Uh he recently rais ...

MSNBC· 2025-10-29 02:07
The Texas Attorney General is suing the makers of Tylenol. The lawsuit is based on dangerous misinformation pushed by President Donald Trump, and it fits a long pattern from AG.

That's not backed by any new research, and it directly contradicts guidance from experts and medical organizations. Federal courts have recently dis ...
