This is so perfect.

Here a grandmother is forced to do a gig job with no job security because she can’t afford to retire? What are we celebrating here?

If you want to understand why our economy is rigged for the super rich, look at this graph.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.

If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.

And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

So inspiring

ICE detain mother at airport—traveling with young daughter.

First reported kidnapping at airport since Trump ordered ICE agents to report—refuse to show ID.

"I don't know who you are!" witness yells.
"You could be someone kidnapping her!"

San Francisco International Airport Gate E2.

Mueller volunteered for Vietnam after a friend of his died in the war. He lived a lifetime of service and duty. He’s everything Trump isn’t. And Trump knows it.

NOT-SO-FUN-FACT: According to gasbuddy.com/charts, the Canadian avg price of gasoline has risen 35c/litre since Trump & Bibi started war with Iran. That's twice as much, in 2 weeks, as the former federal carbon price ultimately added after its entire 6 years of existence. /2

The political effects of X's feed algorithm https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10098-2 Received: 16 December 2024 Accepted: 4 January 2026 Published online: 18 February 2026 Open access • Check for updates Germain Gauthier,5, Roland Hodler?5, Philine Widmer35 & Ekaterina Zhuravskaya3,4,5 m Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects. Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

😬

I will continue to beat this drum: this is not about what happens on Election Day, but afterwards.

The key tell is her articulation of the core MAGA belief that the legitimacy of elections is entirely determined by the results: if they win, it’s legitimate; if they lose, it’s not.

Couple of charts are worth a thousand words.

hell yeah all the flags they’re gonna be so fucking mad

With the caveat that I am not the world's biggest halftime show connoisseur, I have to say this one is KILLING IT. Culture and history, classical guitar and violin, kiddies and seniors, wedding cake and so much colour! I would pay to see this as a musical, seriously. Calling Lin-Manuel Miranda.

The only thing more powerful than hate is love.

I can literally hear the racists shrieking and losing their minds right now over the all Spanish language Bad Boy Super Bowl Halftime Show. It’s awesome. Cry more! Die mad.

"Epstein class" is terrific not simply because several of them are directly tied to Epstein's crimes, but because it strikes at the corruption, immorality and impunity of that entire circle.

So I'm told apparently everyone in 🇨🇦 loves the ad except Wayne 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

(seen a bunch of people sharing this/talking in general about how "normal" Mamdani is but imo this doesn't show a normal person, but an *exceptionally* skilled communicator - a normal person wouldn't react like that to having a speech interrupted by a child! give him his due!)

The Montreal Canadiens are playing the Minnesota Wild in Minneapolis tonight. The players have been recommended to stay in/eat at the hotel, take the team bus to the arena, and carry passports.

Perhaps we shouldn't be hosting the World Cup and the Olympics...
