Sorry the be pedantic, but why not link the original source?
Since it’s their inside sources.
1·2 days agoThey get no engagement though. Social media’s dumped fact checking, which means most won’t see it.
Welcome to the future. I actually thought he was tangentially involved too.
No sane person can keep up with verifying news anymore. Most people’s feeds are pretty bad, and that’s the point! He literally burned out fact-checkers and journalists (and numbed minds to them) last term.
As he did on Wall Street before he got into politics:

Might be better if social media changes, but… we basically elected Big Tech:
What’s also messed up is that it’s that hard for this kid to get citizenship. That’s just a broken system.
4·2 days agoTBF those companies don’t have the budget for a astroturfing bot campaign, or at least can’t afford the PR hit.
3·3 days agoWhat an ad. This is the second greatest YT video ever made.
Go over there and listen to x lines of dialog only up go back and listen to y lines of dialog only to return to the first person and listen to more…
Other games use similar mechanics at times but often not with characters that are so far apart and/or not without some kind of fast travel system that can make the whole process faster.
IMO the problem is character writing.
As an example, AC Odyssey had some great gems, like the underworld, that island intrigue quest, anything involving Phoebe, though many “mundane” quests had quirky characters too. Kassandra’s VA killed it through the whole game. I still remember all that, and I remember enjoying the in-between because I loved the characters and scenery. It was such a compelling reward.
It did have filler quests though.
…If talking and exploring itself feels like a chore, then that’s the problem IMO. It shouldn’t be a low point between gameplay.
It doesn’t have to be one or the other. You can do most of your work in linux and boot windows as a ‘secondary’ OS for stuff like adobe? I do this, and share NTFS SSDs/hard drives between them.
You are hitting weak points of linux though. I do all media work on linux (a lot through vapoursynth or ‘lower level’ frameworks than resolve I suppose), but TBH do most of my gaming on Windows, not just for convenience but for performance reasons too.
A big share of black males are Trump supporters, going by older surveys I’ve seen. Could be reflecting that.
There’s got to be some complexity behind that (and there are articles on it), but one theory I’ve heard is that many feel “abandoned” by the establishment like, say, young males (who also skew more Trumpy than 30+). Maybe social media usage is a factor too? Keep in mind the public knows Trump as the anti establishment candidate.
6·4 days agoYeah that’s the thing, shes broadcasting to people that need to hear this, that would never see this in their feeds otherwise. Bannon and Carlson are too.
But if Trump pulls the trigger? Well, let’s see how they’ll cross him.
Not totally accurate, there’s a huge group of people actively cheering all this on. Read opinion polls on this stuff, and the approval rate is surprisingly high.
Much of American seems to think we’ve elected Tony Stark Warren Buffett Jesus to save us from what seems so grim, and there’s a massive machine making money off that fantasy, perpetuating it. It’s what opposition doesn’t seem to understand, and a big differentiator vs old dictators.
I think that’s what historians will see. Not that most were apathetic. Many really care, but reality warped around us.
“all-in-one API” that will allow agencies to connect their systems to models from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic
This is a huge red flag to me.
It means:
- They are ignorant of existing APIs and standards that are exactly this. Uh, MCP or OpenAI API? Which everyone already uses?
- They have zero interesting in models they can host themselves, or from cheaper providers. Or, heaven forbit, finetune for their own work.
- They have zero interest in actually useful tools. Like, say, SGLang’s cached hosting and fast fill-in-the-blanks formatting which is perfect for say, processing government forms.
In other words, it’s just full corporate AI Bro capture. And shitty.
One of the consequences is that it will be very bad, unfortunately.
62·5 days agoTo be fair, Axios didn’t rag on Iran here. They didn’t do any kind of labeling, just stating what happened: Israel bombed a live Iranian news station.
That’s what news is supposed to be. The opinion columns are where terms like ‘Zionist regime’ goes. Same with whatever you’d want to call Iran’s govt, but news is just the event as it comes, maybe with context.
Bombing a live news station, and clarifying that there was no warning, speaks for itself. More context of Israel’s many other crimes would be better, but Axios has a very-brief writing style.
TBH we should be rioting in front of big news headquarters.
In front of Facebook. Twitter. Google. They’re not too far from LA. Employees should feel scared about enabling all this.
None of this shit matters if algos ignore it, deliberately. Trump can do whatever TF he wants because the media ecosystem built around him is so profitable and engaging, and covering it milquetoast (or worse) is so profitable, not because absolutely everyone obeys him for no reason.
We should make that unprofitable.
23·10 days agoA condom is not going to get elected.
To be fair, Newsom is sorta right, but Newsom’s also kinda slimey, self-serving and angling for a presidential run. I don’t want him to be the next Dem pres candidate…
Also, Trump has always been Trump. Stupid sounding hot air is his thing, way before politics.
To expand on Shrubbery, you can read the Guardian’s editorial standards and the base ones they follow: https://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-files/Guardian/documents/2011/08/08/EditorialGuidelinesAug2011.pdf
In journalism, this is common lingo for “our journalists personally communicated with sources (more that one) that wish to remain anonymous.” It’s the guardian’s legwork and integrity for shielding anon sources here, not them copying it from some other site (which they’d link if they did).
