Important thread from the founder of Bellingcat about just how thin the arguments and fleeting the morals of the self-appointed anti imperialist crowd are.

In college and grad school I remember getting edits on papers, opening the attachments up to 200%+ magnification, and laughing that my profs needed to do that.

Well, I am one of those profs now. My students will be getting their highly magnified papers back soon. The cycle continues. 🤓 👵

ARE YOU A WOMAN successfully running something big in Washington?

The commissioner of labor statistics?

The archivist of the United States?

The librarian of Congress?

The director of the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery?

A top general or admiral?

TOO BAD. TRUMP WANTS YOU GONE.

Army Secretary forces West Point to rescind appointment given to Easterly The United States Military Academy abruptly ended the appointment of Jen Easterly to a high-profile academic position in West Point’s Department of Social Sciences, according to a memorandum issued We...

In another episode of “we live in the stupidest timeline,” Jen Easterly, a woman I have (1) never met and (2) did not work for, had her appointment at West Point terminated because Laura Loomer lied about both of us in a tweet.

I am honored to announce the release of groundbreaking @freepress.bsky.social research & analysis with our inaugural "Media Capitulation Index" which examines how major corporate media companies are bending the knee to Trump & those in power. Check out the rankings & @timkarr.bsky.social analysis:

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West." Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about. In fact I know you do." Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

Everything he does is embarrassing

Looks like Mikey is “completely crashing out” that he still doesn’t have a Trump admin job despite being extremely qualified by the metrics I lay out below 🤡

Politico screenshot Academic with history of incendiary remarks to lead US Institute of Peace Darren Beattie once said on X that “competent white men must be in charge.”

Enraging that POLITICO refers to Darren Beattie as an “academic.” He hasn’t held an academic position for years. His primary occupation has been shitposter, serial harasser, & liar. Those are the qualifications to serve in this admin.

Took them days, but the fabricated quote is gone!

💥💰Important news for Hungary, as Viktor Orbán floods Facebook with hate ads via state funds & proxy groups. Meta, Google have long accepted this black money, helping distort democratic discourse. In reality, Orbán partly owes his grip on power to U.S. big tech.

And of course they're framing it as "EU rules mean you can't have political ads." 🙄 Shameless.

In Trump's posting of the AI-generated Obama arrest video, AI isn't the story.

"If Trump had posted a traditional political cartoon of a political opponent being arrested, we wouldn’t focus on the medium, but the message."

I… did that

A lot of you had questions so I wrote about what I think happened here! Behold:

lol ofc not

Nope 🙃

Do you think that video led anyone to believe that Obama actually got arrested? I do not.

It's a digital political cartoon.

I'm not saying it's not harmful. But the harm doesn't come from the deepfake. It comes from the lies about crimes Obama didn't commit.

Totally agree, it's definitely folks trying to control what they can. (My therapist has advised me something similar 🙃)

Pretty sure the whole article was AI generated- it was the Economic Times and didn’t have a byline

This is the crux of an talk I gave at world summit AI last month
