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!

what's the deal now, you have to be mutuals to DM? explains all the funny things where people are posting complaints a lot and tagging brands until they follow back to get a support ticket going

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 was in that study! They paid me not to use stuff. Good times.

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.

Here's a way to stop the internet having your "private thoughts and questions" STOP PUTTING THEM ALL ON THE INTERNET.

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
