We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

Yes…

When you’re refusing to do that job is a way making said boss a king, he might just promote you for it. Maybe even give you an ambassadorship.

Yes. And successive democratic admins did nothing to stop media consolidation or to break them up. Both parties have allowed them to grow virtually unchecked.

When it comes to illegal orders and insurrection, early retirement is the bare minimum. It is merely a refusal to participate.

We are in a moment where “support and defend the constitution” implies far more than refusing to participate though. We already know how this story ends.

It’s insidious. I agree. The industry has always sought research and data to give it advantage. Individualized profiles, messaging, manipulation, and control were always where this was heading. We were never willing to seriously regulate or police it, even with children, outside of drugs/alcohol.

This is incredibly true here in the US where GWB changed the education system to “authority figure tells you thing and you are tested later to ensure you unquestioningly memorized it and can repeat it”. Watching the news and “opinion polling” feels like just watching that conditioned dynamic.

This is the way

Mass advertising was born from government propaganda intended to mobilize the country for WW1. It’s a $400+bn industry because it works. We are the most heavily messaged population in human history. We have been conditioned from birth to accept propaganda. Govt now takes its cues from that industry.

All the cool kids start wars to stay in power

Russia will disintegrate into small ethnic states after the war in Ukraine.

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

A government office worker who helps seniors and the disabled with social security benefits shared her emotional response to the government shutdown. Essential government workers like her haven't been paid in four weeks. The pressure of it all has led to panic attacks: "We don't deserve this."

Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.

So Biden and the Dems wouldn’t get rid of the filibuster to help people but Trump will do it to avoid helping people

So damn predictable

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

Meanwhile, in Durango, state troopers were helping to pepper spray kids who were peacefully praying. Well done, Jared. Now resign.

I’m sure we can expect your editors to bury the story like they did with the country’s largest protest a couple weeks ago.

The most popular girls are all fighting over who will go to the prom with the monosyllabic rebel Don. Man-boobs don’t compete with early puberty though, fellas. He’s just not into you. Get accommodated with that.

“Stollen Scholar”

Hard truth about social media, leading and growing our community to get things done.

It’s not hard. Just kinda rare in those places. Some of the most frightened people on earth IMO. Terrified to be different in any way.

When you grow up in a culture that teaches you to play “smear the queer” before you’re even old enough to know what queer means, all you know is that you’re supposed to attack them. If you never question that, Nancy Mace is who you become.
