Bot Networks Are Helping Drag Consumer Brands Into the Culture Wars AI tools have made coordinated attacks targeting corporations much more common, researchers say.

"Bots or likely bots authored 44.5% of X posts mentioning Cracker Barrel in the 24 hours after the new logo gained attention ... that number rose to 49% among posts calling for a boycott." Then Republicans jumped on, including the President. Great internet we made here www.wsj.com/articles/bot...

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

What they don't tell you is that Love Potions 1 through 8 killed 30 million people

The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018, as he was in the middle of divorcing his wife, Samantha. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons.

Son, I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out.. You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face, but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.

Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as "unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith. I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care) Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women

We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted] And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply) I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But... On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself... Mom

a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever

Young’s opinion, which rules that the Trump admin illegally targeted pro-Palestinian students for deportation, is absolutely scathing.

“In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police…ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it.”

If you do the Riyadh Comedy Festival and don't tell a joke that gets you imprisoned by the monarchy then what was even the point of having Trump on your podcast

Something so poignant about “remember me on this device”

oh brother these guys stink

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

Dying Seconds is a whodunit comedy about winning at all costs. Even if it kills you. - YouTube Kevin Witmer remembers where he was when the Hamilton Hammers lost their 11th game in a row. He remembers where he was standing... Who he was with. Everyone ...

this is a funny canadian show

I'm going to keep at this: the Democrats would do themselves a huge favor by planning post-Trump retribution now, and communicating those plans to the nation. 1/

half-remembering that thing about how most Roman citizens experienced the fall of Rome as simply one day their local bridge went out and nobody came around to repair it

opponents of the plan should be thrown into the lake

Putting the Secret Service's nonsense framing aside, it's a pretty cool discovery. Those black boxes are SIM gateways which you plug sim cards into and they act like virtual cell phones. They then route the access over the internet so people can use the sim cards from anywhere in the world.🧵
