Online communities centered around products, services, or investments are a threat to money, time, and social networks.
I recommend watching this youtube documentary about Bed Bath & Beyond memestock community it’s sad and fascinating and unfortunately all too familiar because this type of thing seems to be widespread.
Deregulation is another way of saying buyer beware.
I’ve also heard it said a few times that it should just be called “re-regulation” because in fact what so-called deregulation does is just switch the regulation from protecting consumers to protecting bad actors.
Tiktok is dead, long live tiktok.
All the platforms with their black box manipulative algorithms are problematic.
Pro-Trump Pastor: “We drank the kool-aid and it’s orange.”
Shane Vaughn claims “They” (whoever that is), forced him into the Trump cult.
Community notes is not freedom and social media algorithms do not make for a community center.
Almost any flawed org, coffee klatch, or chat group is going to have more social ROI and less disinformation than mixing it up with fake accounts and targeted marketing on the big platforms.
Even Trump voters didn’t sign up for invading Greenland, right?
The whole Greenland thing should be dropped. Nobody voted for this.
Far from being satisfied, winning just emboldens the violent Trumpies.
The idea that you can satiate people determined to create havoc and harm is ridiculous on its face. In the wake of the election in 2016 I witnessed harassment myself almost immediately.
Anti-mandate IS anti-vax, once more, this time with feeling.
And, in fact, being against public health mitigation efforts at all is actually anti-vax because NPIs (Non-pharmaceutical Interventions) are actually needed to support the vaccines.

It’s a perversion of journalism in service of propaganda.

Jay Bhattacharya is unqualified to lead the NIH — still promoting bogus covid cures in 2024
This person must not be installed in a position where he will jeopardize the health of Americans with his fringe pseudoscience ideas.
FBI hopeful Kash Patel promoted misinfo fueled covid product.
The marketing claim promoting this quacky covid product is that it can “reverse” the effects of covid vaccines is based on misinformation claiming wrongly that the vaccines are giving people some type of damage based on things that don’t even make sense.
The problem with going to social media for “information”.
Yes, this is something I hear about regularly, people saying how they’re relying on social media sources for “good information” and seeking it nowhere else.
Right-wing voices intent on spreading bird flu & misinformation.
Various right-wing covid minimizers are pushing all sorts of misleading things about the very real threats of H5N1.
Hinting atrocities.
I just keep racking up instances where I see things going on in the US that are eerily familiar to things I’ve read about Rwanda. Seems problematic.
Jessica Pants On Fire
Why I don’t share this influencer’s content, and I don’t think you should either.
Lots of stuff presented as “public health” is not.
Is it a product cult or MLM? Is it just some PR operation? Are they providing effective strategies and information or just wasting a lot of time? There may indeed be different paths and approaches that people want to take with things, but the problem is that it’s not always clear what you’re getting into […]
Radios are a good thing to have. Devices that require cell service are cell phones and are not the same as radios.
