@paulg If it’s too bad for Walmart to stay, then there’s more to the story.

@AriDavidPaul @Steinernomics I’ve written the Keynesian view off as gaslighting, as it seems plainly obvious increasing the monetary supply decreases its value. Whereas demand outpacing supply in say, milk, causing its price to increase has little to do with fiscal policy. What am I missing?

I built a home for the components I’ve been sharing lately - you can play with them here: https://t.co/xraisekTBP

All of this is experimental, a page to keep track of my progress and share more unusual components and interactions and understand what feels right or not.

MASSIVE! The US Dept of Homeland Security paid nearly $700,000 to a counter-terrorism NGO to "intercept and divert" Twitter/X traffic away from specific individuals in the manosphere.

@RationalMale, @Cobratate, @FreshandFitPod among others were specifcally named as targets.

The DHS TVTP grant funding was given to Arizona State University, home of the McCain Institute. The purpose of the grant was to design a native tool to be used on Twitter to effectively suppress individuals in the manosphere by diverting their audiences away from their content towards "counter-messaging" content - websites, podcasts and creators curated by the McCain Institute to counter "hate speech and misinformation."

The US government has named the manosphere as one of the biggest terror threats facing the US. They claim this broad network is the main cause of (extremely isolated) acts of incel-related violence.

The conflation of incels with the broader manosphere as a justification for targeted counterterrorism ops, which can include aggressive surveillance and censorship, is part of a disturbing trend. The ever-broadening definitions of "terrorism" and "extremism" put forth by the US government poses a very real threat to the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.

EVEN WORSE - The grant application and resulting reports suggest a large-scale collaboration of tech giants, NGOs and US government agencies to design and implement tools to counter hate and disinformation by diverting web traffic away from specific individuals and communities deemed harmful.

What is "harmful content" according to the US government? White supremacy, anti-government views, foreign terror orgs (ie. ISIS), and the manosphere are the top 4 terror threats, according to the McCain Institute.

@Malcolm_fleX48 I think it’s as simple as if it’s actually deadly people will take it serious.

@ZaleskiLuke @elonmusk I assume you’re implying it’s not going well but Twitter does seem to have improved significantly from my perspective.

@kellyemon @EliotBeacon @Travis_in_Flint It’s 2023, you may have been a lefty 10 years ago, but what you just described is right wing extremism now.

Maybe just my feed but, im seeing a lot of chat gpt plugin talk. Im not saying the idea of plugins aren't cool, but you have things like Expedia and Instacart along with quips about planning your trips and getting recipes. Even my gram gram is confused as to why thats interesting

@JSaturday_ @NomadicMGTOW @wtogami @digitalassetbuy It’s like saying you don’t want a large clunky SUV that only goes 110mph and is terrible on gas, when you could get scammed instead.

[Kyle Forkey @theesehands]

@stefansefe @ChrisBlec Stable in this sense means stable relative to USD, (which I know seems like I’ve said nothing) but the value in an asset performing this way is to act as a medium between the crypto/legacy economy. Stability doesn’t really make sense without a point of reference.

[Bruce Fenton @brucefenton]

CBDCs are truly evil and, along with social credit scores, are something that we have a moral imperative to fight. There are certain ideals we cannot compromise on - if we do we lose everything. Human freedom cannot exist in a world of CBDCs.

@lenahan_brendan It’s important to differentiate between people whose accomplishments built their reputation and people in the business of reputation building.

[Kyle Forkey @theesehands]

One of my favorite phenomena is when prominent public figures cash in on their reputation in order to say really stupid shit.
