it’s funny because the reality of people getting crushed is sad and that kid was just there for his dad, but in the stakes of tragedies dying instantly by being crushed like a grape is not a terrible way to go, allthings considered. and the ridiculous hubris of a guy who ignored every expert taking insanely rich people in a death tube is wild

yeah Rufo has been pretty successful in astroturfing at least, a lot of the anti-CRT/DEI/"Wokeness" stuff comes from him, it's not like these are issues conservatives really care about or can even define
Well, they definitionally care about them? It's being able to name them (even if the definitions are wavy) that he's done the work on - so 35 states can pass anti-CRT measures, but they can be applied on a "you know if it you see it" basis - even worse than CRT is CRT that's denying it's CRT!

Good thread going against claims that social media has done that much damage in our politics.
Basically did little to nothing. More evidence social media has been overhyped as a cause of our political dysfunction. https://t.co/rn4ncBnl2X pic.twitter.com/U9wvnuGR2G— Osita Nwanevu (@OsitaNwanevu) May 13, 2024

I also don't think the timeframe of the study was that useful. If you weren't already in the bag for one candidate five weeks before the election, you probably weren't going to be swayed.

tbf you (and i!) have been on ilx for decades now
but mostly that guy is a (really rich) fucking moron
within the last couple years there was a piece by someone (maybe tom scocca?) noting that in the last 25 years there have been so many people trying to game the system that inevitably a few were going to win -- like elon buying himself the 'foundership' of tesla. jack seems like a business school study in progress, except none of his idiocy will ultimately affect him personally

Finally some good news:
https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/x-twitter-porn-policy-update-1236023536/
Elon Musk‘s X now officially allows NSFW content on the social network formerly known as Twitter — with some restrictions.In a recent update to its official usage policies, X says, “You may share consensually produced and distributed adult nudity or sexual behavior, provided it’s properly labeled and not prominently displayed.”“We believe that users should be able to create, distribute and consume material related to sexual themes as long as it is consensually produced and distributed,” X says in the update, which was spotted earlier by TechCrunch. “Sexual expression, whether visual or written, can be a legitimate form of artistic expression. We believe in the autonomy of adults to engage with and create content that reflects their own beliefs, desires, and experiences, including those related to sexuality.”

Musky seem to have taken away the ability to block ads from the timeline, you have to go to the ad's profile page and completely block them now.

Little feel good thread on the bad website.
Yes, her name is Nguyen Nguyen. My grade 6 classmate that sat in front of me. She never spoke to anyone. Not even the teacher. I mean, EVER. But she was brilliant & never needed help with anything. We would walk to school together, & even then—not a single word. Then one day… https://t.co/gE7AC1VFXL— FLAWS 🇯🇲🇨🇦 (@FlawsofCouture) June 6, 2024

After school, I stayed behind to pack up my desk—my parents were moving us to Brampton. Everyone had left but she was still at her desk. Not like her but I didn’t think anything of it until she looked at me and said “I’m going to miss you Sasha”.’🥺🥺— FLAWS 🇯🇲🇨🇦 (@FlawsofCouture) June 6, 2024
That was my first and last time hearing her voice. I think about her often. I’ve searched for her as well, but so many ppl go by the same name. I hope you’re okay girl & I miss you too. 💕— FLAWS 🇯🇲🇨🇦 (@FlawsofCouture) June 6, 2024
