I think we're a year or two away from a right wing moral panic about mental health treatment. Medications to treat ADHD / depression will be talked about like DEI or vaccines are today.

Just to be clear, the current NYT home page is 4 stories about Biden's age, plus another editorial board urging him to withdraw, plus about how Trump is moderating the GOP on abortion.

there have always been two kinds of libertarians: actual libertarians, and conservatives that call themselves libertarians. The latter has always paid better.

"viewing Trump as something like a fascist leader foresaw the violence of January 6th as a live possibility, while its critics mocked the notion as mere hysteria. Whatever its shortcomings, “Trump as fascist” remains the best guide to what Trump will try to do next"

I think it depends on the logarithm of follower differential. If A has 100x as many followers as B, A quote-skeeting B can bring unwanted attention even if it's not overtly hostile, whereas B quote-skeeting A is often just background noise.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

and even if someone thinks "well I don't like/look at porn so why should it be a priority for me?" it's important to remember that when christofascists say "porn" they also mean age-appropriate comprehensive sex education, media with queer/trans people in it, and picture books about gay penguins.

It rocks that these companies are so insulated from competition that they won't even realize this crap isn't making them money or improving anyone's life. They'll shoehorn it into the UI so you can't avoid it and then pat themselves in the back for the strong engagement numbers.

there are a lot of ways for the state to suppress dissident speech. one particularly bad one is by having armed agents of the state stand by and do nothing while partisan-aligned thugs or paramilitary groups beat you because of your speech, and then have the DA decline to prosecute the assaulters.

The user behavior around the "like" is going to change, but their legacy features, analytics and machine learning built around the old behavior will not - because they have a much smaller engineering team spending all its time on whim-driven feature development.
