“The MAGA crowd is made of dumb people — like, SUPER dumb people. And they fall for it.”
For my @wired.com feature debut, I talked to Sam, a guy who made thousands of dollars on Instagram by scamming MAGA men with Emily Hart, an AI generated, Trump-loving influencer. www.wired.com/story/ai-gen...
Did you have to?
The truth is bad enough!!!!! Why implicate p*dophilia into the mix
Meanwhile over on X this guy wants engagement so fucking bad that he’s willing to promote blood libel conspiracy theories to get it (the kid is a goat, by the way, as he conveniently explains further down in the thread)
Cat’s out of the bag — I’m joining @wired.com as a senior writer starting April 6! Absolutely thrilled to be joining this incredible team (which I learned today will now feature not one, not two, but FIVE @dailydot.com alumni)!!!
Author of ONE BAD MOTHER, @ejdickson.bsky.social, via CNN:
"The rates of anxiety and depression for mothers are extremely high, and I think it’s kind of obvious why."

Yesterday was my last day at @thecut.com. Working there was the culmination of a lifelong dream, and leaving was one of the toughest decisions I've ever made.
I'm taking a (much needed) break to sleep and read and hang with my kids but *watch this space* for more, as they say
1) the AI fruit videos all come from one specific custom GPT called Object Talk. The company that makes it exclusively helps people make AI slop.
2) anyone can make them. i made one in 10 minutes.
3) because they are manipulating us in a very specific way, and we are getting stupider
I wrote about my favorite pastime: watching slutty strawberry AI videos for @nymag.com. I was guided by three questions: Where do they come from? Who is making them? And why are we watching strawberries cucking their blueberry husbands and getting impregnated by eggplants? nymag.com/intelligence...
I don’t disagree with you about any of this. Democrats have a helluva lot to answer for.
what are we doing here
- laundered the reputations of accused rapist Andrew Tate, Nazi sympathizer Nick Fuentes, and Vladimir Putin
- said that immigrants make the US “poorer and dirtier”
- was literally FIRED from Fox News for being too racist
So…no. You don’t “have to hand it to him.” For literally any reason.
Just to be clear, Tucker Carlson has:
- repeatedly advocated for the racist Great Replacement Theory
- called Iraqis “semi literate primitive monkeys”
- said it’s ok for 27-year-olds to marry 16-year-olds
- framed trans people as inherently violent
- defended a man who killed a BLM protester
Buy my book babe
A number of Jewish organizations are shrilly insisting that any criticism of Israeli genocide and warmongering is an illegitimate attack on Jews. At the same time, an increasing number of non-Jewish people are insisting that any attack on Jews is a legitimate attack on Israel.
This sucks, man
I’ve been screaming for the past 6 years that the right’s goal is to drive women back into the home and make us have more babies. I truly don’t know how to make it more clear that this has been the plan all along www.ms.now/ali-velshi/p...
I laughed
Are you married/in a relationship? Are you monogamous? And do you have crushes on other people? If so I'd like to hear from you (anonymously, of course) — email in bio and my dms are open…
I pointed it out to preempt the argument that the ISD is partisan or that this was something a Zionist org just fucking made up to push an agenda. It’s a worthwhile resource that takes something very complicated and makes it legible but you don’t seem all that interested in that lol
I actually have sweatie! I didn’t know her political views before reading and I obviously don’t agree with them, but I also believe that people we disagree with can occasionally say reasonable things and applying purity tests to everyone is what has made the left fucking impotent to begin with
ISD is a global org that tracks online hate in all forms. It’s not the ADL — it’s a non profit independent entity. They do not have a dog in this fight
This is also a thoughtful and nuanced explainer (w more examples) about what left wing antisemitism can look like. It makes it clear it’s not about criticizing Israel, it’s about how you criticize Jews and Israel. www.isdglobal.org/isd-explaine...
This is actually a very good recent example. This is nakedly antisemitic language, and Mamdani was absolutely correct to disavow these remarks.

Absolutely. I’m one of them. As I have said many, many times on this thread and elsewhere, publicly.
But you’re not an anti Zionist. You’re a straight up antisemite. And you need to be aware that some of us are not fooled by your efforts to pretend otherwise.
This is Amy Madigan and Ed Harris refusing to applaud Elia Kazan's honorary Oscar in 1999. During the Blacklist Era, Kazan named names.
Good on Amy and Ed.
No one’s stopping you from publicly making an antisemitic argument. Just like no one’s stopping me from saying that you sound like you really don’t like Jewish people. Did Lizzy Caplan steal ur man or something? Idgi
You absolutely did. You said I was framing antisemitism as an exceptionally bad form of bigotry, and I wasn’t. It just has a specific historical context that makes it uniquely positioned to be weaponized in our misinformation ecosystem. But that’s clearly too complex an idea for you to understand.
Just so you’re aware, saying “look at the number of Jewish people in power in America” to support your argument that antisemitism doesn’t exist is a pretty good example of something an actual antisemite would say.
