Anyone else going full energy vampire mode today?

Really fascinating read. "The massive right-wing network you've never heard of," a network of dozens of sites controlled by a handful of guys who collectively get billions of views on rightwing propaganda headlines per day

USvGoogle 1: Two big “tells” at end of CEO Sundar Pichai’s direct this morning: Judge Mehta asked - if Google can keep paying for defaults, how could anyone, even MSFT, compete given its capital edge for this purpose? Then Google’s lawyer asked if best product always wins. 1/12

So uhhhh the Republicans are setting up a group who will decide who is living or considered dead? Is that what you call a death panel?

From what I’ve seen there weren’t “Hundreds of supporters on both sides” there were “Hundreds of people demonstrating, with a few dozen accounting for the Trump side at best”

Offer. Any press in DC planning to cover FTC v Meta (4/14-7/3!!!), I’m happy to be paid with free ☕️ per 30 minutes to walk through the complaint, why it matters so much, Meta’s likely defense. With US v Google running concurrently a lot to track. Just DM me. Thx.

The $11B delta is the bank debt. He gave X investors equal shares in xAI which is far more feasible to have upside, and now he can use the $6B cash he got invested into xAI to make the payments on the bank debt imo

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed.

That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF.

I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

I’m sorry what’s that Mr President?

As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.

After all hate thrown at Migrants they really have cozied up to this one despite the fact he’s taking jobs from Vets.

“I finally found one person I knew who got DOGE’d, and it hit me in the heart,” said Watters, who urged his Fox colleagues to “be a little bit less callous.”

Why does it only register for these people when it lands at their doorstep????

The thing about clandestine operations is that they probably look like waste fraud & abuse if all you have is a spreadsheet and an order to sell off the country for parts.

Fellow Americans: If you haven’t lately, use your login dot gov account to download your social security statement and review how much of your hard earned retirement money they’re going to steal. It helps to put a real dollar sign on it.

Kim G for one.

What did change was the scale and reach of campaigns vs IO based buying. I think the second screenshot alludes to that and I think in house bespoke functions are definitely happening and will continue to grow. But AI take the software wheel without humans is a ways off.

That’s a lot of sensitive categories. I’m not sure this problem is unique to DV360 though. I don’t know of any DSP which actively monitors the custom segments uploaded to the platform.

Because a portion of the populace is willing to listen to terrible jokes to compensate for their inferiority problems. There that wasn’t so hard.

What about the other 80%
