Yeah... No. It was a bad idea in foresight, too, and 75 million saw it. Another 75 million didn't give a shit..
and 76 million said tear it down.

It is who we are.

We're not living through the Trump Administration, and nor is it the Trump Regime.

It's the Trump Cartel.

Words mean things, so use them properly.

Anne Applebaum, someone who understands how autocracies work.

For 2000 years it was the corrupt priesthoods that supported the kings.

Trump's clerics are also joined by faith: that obedience and servility will bring them unearned wealth and power.

Just one word: ""GOPedophiles"

And to your point, I posted this 4 days ago:
"That 'dealers bad user innocent' trope is sooo stupid.

Opiates are addictive, and there's not a single junkie that didn't know that before they started.

Grow up.

Someone gets drunk no one blames the liquor store; when they drown none blame the water.

You're one of very few then, Patricia. Well done.

Unfortunately, large systems should be designed to protect the weakest, and instead social media is designed to exploit them.

I think that rewriting the algos could go a long way to getting people back out of their information cages.

I'd agree if I believed 'people' were capable of such clear thinking... but they're not.

It's a 'garbage in garbage out' world for all things, humans and computers among them. Feed a steady diet of algo driven fascism... harvest a fascist.

Fox proves this daily.

GIGO rules, so change the food.

ON ALGORITHMS

If algos on social media are responsible for the fracturing and polarization of society, a very good bet, then legislation to oblige the platforms to redesign their algos to deliver alt views to any liked or opened article should be both technically easy and legally doable.

SO...?

How Newsom has capitalized on anger with Trump in California ballot fight The strategy has fueled a stark fundraising advantage and polling lead that Democrats hope will help deliver a concrete rebuttal to the presidentโ€™s redistricting agenda.

All that Republicans know is how to cheat. It's not a matter of playing their game, but voting them out at every turn.

Fantastic result! Congrats to Sam and the team at Bromsgrove! Another result showing that across the country it's the the Lib Dems taking the fight to Reform, and the only party that's winning against them! ๐Ÿ”ถ
