Trump bragged he gave Israeli military secrets to Russia.
Russia is allied with Iran and Hamas.
THIS is why Trump’s abuse of his privilege holding classified info is NOT trivial or bureaucratic.
When intel security is breached, people DIE.

40) Day 347 since the #Twitter acquisition and all credibility for what was once the preferred #SocialMedia breaking news platform, has evaporated
#Wired has the story on how bad algorithms, bogus blue checks and the the elimination of Twitter’s fact checking team has resulted in a flood of #Gaza and #Israel disinformation

I'm thinking that maybe these techniques are the answer to many of the problems in our culture, if we can learn to apply them. Here is another longer video when you have the time. Well, more it's like a podcast really.
@Mary625 @KimberlyN Here is a short 2 minute video that I like to show to people who are new to these ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASn-VdevwTE
@Rhube Are you talking about the original black and white movie or the BBC mini-series?
@KimberlyN @Mary625 There are also other ways to help people come to better conclusions, such as #DeepCanvassing and #StreetEpistemology . All three of these methods work better than arguing, ridiculing, or throwing facts at them, because they bypass the reflex known as the Backfire Effect. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Backfire_effect
@KimberlyN @Mary625 Yes, I have been learning and trying various methods to reliably help people come to better conclusions, including this one. It is also called Attitude Inoculation, and this website has more resources about it. https://cognitiveimmunology.net/

The Olympics should be held in one place forever so they only have to pay
maintenance costs to keep it up to standards. And it should outside of any
nation, similar to Vatican City.

@ergifruit Let's hope it *doesn't* go to the Supreme Court. Who knows what those activists in robes are likely to do.
What does garlic do when it gets hot?
It takes its cloves off.

25 years ago today (10/6), Matthew Shepard was beaten and left for dead — tied to a fence in Wyoming. The only part of his face not covered in blood was two white lines running down his cheeks from where his tears ran dry. His death ignited a fight for equality. Never forget. Rest in Power Matthew. #RememberingMatthew #ShepardLegacy #TearsOfInjustice #EndHateCrimes

I know there is a lot going on, but Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for far less than what Trump has done.
Just thought I should remind everyone of that.

Twitter / X is serving users with a new ad format that can't be blocked or reported
the ads aren't even actual X posts & aren't connected to any X accounts. they do not disclose that they are ads
it appears the ads are connected to clickbait ad networks

@thunderzone@wonkodon.com Holy cow, Bloomberg is saying that, not some imaginary "Liberal Media".
