New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...

New: I talked to the traders who bet Khamenei would die.
One, an Israeli ex-pat, would've won $63,000 before Kalshi froze the bet: “I was booking my trip to Courchevel.”

Last month, an influencer with 1M+ followers realized that Instagram was adding shoppable links to her content without her consent. A similar feature exists on TikTok. I wrote about the creator economy's final form, where all of us are subsumed by social commerce.

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.
He spent a year in jail for this.
Columbia President with NEW details:
5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant.
They said they were police looking for a missing kid.
Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid."
A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss.
They ignored him & took the student.
The main function of slop is to take something from you: your time, your attention, your trust. It is passive in that it requires nothing from viewers but to sit back and consume it. Slop is boring, repetitive, and often inexpensive to make — the natural evolution of an internet built for scale and ruthless optimization. Before his pivot to conservative politics, Shirley was making slop for babies: YouTube videos with titles like “16 YEAR OLD FLIES TO NEW YORK WITHOUT TELLING PARENTS” and “Giving My Teachers $1,000 for Christmas! *emotional*”
Tyler Oliveira’s early Youtube content, including pranks and “challenges” like “attempting to get everything 100% off at stores”

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

Media & anyone culture-adjacent should read this and consider if they’re getting got by whatever new trend suddenly bubbles up into mainstream consciousness. It’s also an argument for ditching X, which creates right wing mirages that everyone ends up chasing

New: The SCOTUS ruling on Trump's tariffs are a blow to his agenda, but we're all still living in the trade nightmare of Trump's making, with consumers footing the bill.
"Many people will view this as a payoff to companies at their expense." - @kedseconomist.com
www.theverge.com/policy/88222...
Not only that but companies that kept quiet while this was all happening to stay on Trump's good side will probably now lawyer up to get their money back. The economists tried to warn us!
