Jim from Argue

Has anyone heard about the FB pedo algorithm getting aggressive? I lost my accounts; I use them for business, too.

It insists a photo I shared privately with another parent is "sexually exploitative." It's my daughter cooking alfredo in roller blades. Fully clothed.

Anyone know how to fix that?

...but that basically means you can't have any investors. Because they would just end up returning you to the old money-making business paradigm. I almost wonder whether it would need to be not for profit and publicly owned by the users who could vote on leadership. But anyways that's my TED talk.

I think the main issue is the ad/data model. I'm trying to devise a site that costs users a few dollars a year and foregos all data collection, ad sales, and algorithm manipulation. What people like is what makes it to the top, and what you ask for is what you see.

Omg! This video was amazing. If you haven't read Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari, you should. It is a history of these sorts of information regime changes. From writing to radio to television to social media. Also, this is kinda my whole deal. I'm working on a social media site called Argue.

I mean, not really. It's not so much about a loss. It's how the corporate Democratic establishment shuts out people like Bernie and AOC. They see which way the wind is blowing and thry'd rather lose than betray their corporate overlorda.

Citizens don't hate them. But the Democratic establishment does.

Opinion | Trump admin's book purge at the Naval Academy goes beyond petty authoritarianism One of us wrote an academic book on gender. The Defense Department thinks it's too dangerous for the Naval Academy to have in its library.

Among the 381 books that the Naval Academy removed was one that my mom, a retired professor, authored. The Trump administration banned her book, and no one could tell us why.

So we wrote about it for @msnbc.com. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I mean, as things keep getting worse on their own, degrowth seems less and less ridiculous to me.

I feel like it would be easy to implement with present tech, but my car is like 12 years old, so I have no idea.

Utah study on trans youth care extremely inconvenient for politicians who ordered it The state's ban on gender-affirming pediatric care "cannot be justified" by science, a two-year review concluded.

More than two years ago, Utah Republicans commissioned a study on gender-affirming care for youth. It just came back, and the conclusion is unambiguous: full recommendation in support of gender-affirming care.

It's infuriating. I don't know how you could get to this point of damage being done to the country and still hate Sanders and AOC more than Trump. They will sink the country to spite anyone actually left of center.

This is phenomenal.

Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.

It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

Anyone collating a book of his gaffs? Will be a bestseller!

Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw

This is Just me Testing Shit. Please Don't Respond. Just Ignore it.

So, the Social Media site is coming along. Looking like April 1st for Launch.

Here's the other one. Were these really from a Phi 101 course you took? If so, can you take more philosophy courses? We need more.

Where did these come from? Did you write them?

But yeah he was a Musk fan.

Holy shit. My friend knew the guy. Well online anyways. Says he was antiIslam Saudi who moved to Germany and tried to start a haram of exIslamic Saudi women he lured there. When the government intervened and freed the women, he went nuts and attacked to cause antiIslamic tensions.

Wait, who drove a car into a crowd? Like in Germany?

So little concern is given to cultural issues. Like what it does to our stories if they are locked away forever and given to whoever will pay the most for them. I feel like Disney just burns cultural heritage for profit at this point.

So I says to myself, look it up, a different perspective, go ahead, it'll be healthy...

I'm pretty sure if I mounted this guy at the top of my mast the birds would no longer gather to poop on my deck.

🤣

Yes, it does.

So I definitely think this is true. But I also think we should pay politicians better.

First of all, that means people who don't come from money have a better shot.

But also, I think powerful people will find a way to make money. I'd rather they make it directly from the people.

What does it say that this took me zero time to understand.
