I had a chat with the conservative mom of a friend today. We talked about a bunch of stuff and I learned several interesting things, among them, that religious conservatives are often PRO-CHOICE AND THINK THE SUPREME COURT IS INSANE. Run on Dobbs. Run on justices and court reform. Do it.

Periodic reminder: What you see on social media is an algorithm-curated echo chamber. Those who shout loudest typically get amplified the most, regardless of whether they’re right. The real work takes place offline. If you’re getting stressed out by today, take a break, focus on what you can do.

White rice has a high glycemic index (converts to sugar fast) I read. I guess brown rice is the Immaculate Grain though.

Voyager 1 is on the shortlist of the coolest shit we've ever done, just incredible that we sent this thing to space in 1977 and we're still expecting to keep talking to it and getting data until 2036 hats off to the incredible debugging team, as a software engineer I'm in awe

I read Weinstein got his reversal basically because the prosecution violated the Molineaux rule against using past uncharged alleged crimes as evidence. In PoSNY v. Trump, didn't the admitted evidence directly support the allegations, not merely describe separate acts by defendant? TY

There are growing concerns within the former president's camp that the two-minute time limit for answers combined with the candidate's mic being muted when it is not their turn will prove difficult for Trump who is known to ramble.

Then they interview a bunch of Democratic operatives, pundits, and writers. And all of them say some variant of “yeah this place has declined. It’s a zombie site. But no other site has filled the gap yet, so I’m still puttering around here.” That’s not much of a “Twitter is back!” story.

In 2022, the total spent on digital political ads was ~$9 BILLION. The vast majority of that was on Google and Facebook. Twitter has always been a minor player. $1 million of aggregate ad spending is not a lot. It means some consultants said “let’s toss a few bucks at X and see what happens.”

Good thread. Agree, Twitter political advertising is pretty tiny and barely relevant. The utility is in how so many people in politics use Twitter as a message board. And often, I can't find someone's # or email but can DM them. Everyone on Twitter is surrounded by sludge, better if you acknowledge
