Facebook’s roots are not so hot.

But Facebook’s tendrils may be ready to set more fires.

Eugenics is always a pseudoscience hoax.

It’s just an ideology, and a bad one based in accelerationist hopium and ableism, and racism. Mother Jones – January 2, 2025 – Eugenics Isn’t Dead—It’s Thriving in Tech – A new book takes on the throughline from the rise of 20th-century eugenics to Silicon Valley. – Julia Métraux The US psychologist and eugenicist Henry Goddard played an […]

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.

Butts in seats downtown for “The Economy” (aka commercial real estate & fossil fuel)

RTO GTFO. The future of our civilization depends on maximizing remote options wherever possible.

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.

Dr. Oz is a loser who has no place running an agency in the federal government…

Fossil fuel PR operative claims Harris lost Pennsylvania because people want more burning coal.

Write your reps and tell them how their constituent voters are not these big coal burning fans.

ECB has warned that the AI boom may be an asset price bubble that’s putting integrated global equity markets at risk.

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.

Ohio wants to force doctors to give quack cure to kids with covid.

The knock on effects of this would probably be many and very problematic.
