Recently mentioned the Rentals "Friends of P" video to a friend who is all about the 1st Weezer album and he seemed to have no idea what I was talking about. Anyway, here it is. Thought everyone who watched MTV in the mid-'90s knew this song?

Elon Musk can now cut off funds to any individual in the country, social security, Medicare, anything. He also has access to all your personal, financial and medical history. Employees of his private companies now have the keys to all that.

Thing about the general ethos of low-trust sneering cynicism that’s so endemic in online leftist spaces is that you can have that emotional affect if you’re just trying to nihilistically tear everything down, but if you actually wanna build something you gotta be a bit cringe

Post-post apocalyptic is such an underrated sci fi setting. Like The Event happened but now a new world is emerging with it’s own social organizations, and the focus isn’t on mere survival but the politics and powers that are rebuilding.

Rosalie is more kind to this study than I will likely be (still reading it). But her assessment is spot on. The questions they asked & tools they used gave them an answer. Problem is its not definitive & doesn't advance our understanding of whether foreign influence #InfoOps work
