…that study demonstrates how Republican talking points were more easily boosted in TikTok’s algorithm. As in: Republicans were better at getting their message across on social media.

It also doesn’t do, in any way, what was asked: citation on how it was a Chinese psyop.

That was the big ask, yes.

So the last and final attempt to steer the United States from fuelling genocide failed.

This is British people you’re talking about.

Welcome to Walmart.

It is an inversion of it, actually. The sugar starts on the porridge, so the trueness of the Scotsman can’t be found.

Horseshoe theory posits a wolf in sheeps clothing and a sheep in wolfs clothing are the same thing.

A real Kroger Dinner situation.

Double RIP

When the first major migration from reddit happened and people didn’t yet know about mod logs there was a whole lot of blatant misrepresentation of what was or wasn’t said that got someone banned by an instance.

Just like how ABC paid/donated $15 million for reporting an unpleasant fact about the preaident-elect.

I knew someone whose death was ruled a suicide. I also know their roommate wasn’t where they said they were the night it allegedly happened.

This is mostly my job. I don’t do field work nearly as much anymore but for the most part you just need to have confidence and/or not bullshit the good ol’ boys.

Like some of the reddest parts of the country have some of the most stringent water rules and regulations. For good reason: their regulators can’t fuck around and so they don’t.
