Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

The Social Reckoning is a movie about how liberal institutions utterly lost a war they barely even knew they were fighting nymag.com/intelligence...

By the time the rest of Horwitz's Facebook Files reporting came out, the controversial mechanism behind that 64 percent figure - captured in an internal presentation given in 2016, a full decade before the film
— was well on its way to eating the entire company. In its legacy products, including Facebook's News Feed, algorithmic recommendations had become more central over time, not just for pages but for the next post users would see, deprioritizing social connections in favor of what the company started calling "unconnected" content. By August 2020, the main tensions of the film
- that Facebook's self-serving algorithms were distorting its users' interactions with and views of one another, and the world in general, and that the company didn't care — were not just obvious but quaint. That's when Instagram Reels, Facebook's answer to and clone of TikTok, started rolling out to American users.
Soon, old notions of the feed, and of "public squares," and even "social" media in general, would be overwhelmed by billions of individualized and alienated For You pages, stocked primarily with "unconnected" content from strangers, brands, and influencers, filled by far more advanced algorithms than before. It was a post-social retreat into an opaque system both far larger and more thoroughly designed to serve Meta's needs.
Facebook wasn't just ignoring the problem, in other words. It actually saw, in the source of the problem, its entire future: a platform that didn't depend as much on sharing and posting to grow engagement and consumption; a social network not only supported by targeted advertising, but remade entirely in its image.
In Meta's profit centers, it's recommendations all the way down.

This was a view that took seriously the idea, embraced by companies like Twitter and Facebook, that its projects of "democratizing" online publishing and communication were aligned with the project of democracy. The most obvious mistake here was to assume that the tech industry's Obama-era politics were inherent and stable. The bigger but more subtle mistake was to conceive of tech platforms like Facebook as para-civic institutions that, if designed correctly, and built with just the right safeguards, could actually fortify the democratic process, or at least extend the end of history for a few more years. This resulted in a weird dynamic, rendered in near-parody by Sorkin, in which many of the people attempting to hold companies like Facebook accountable — government officials, but critics and journalists too - took marketed claims about the importance of election integrity and free speech and disinformation more seriously than the companies themselves.

it’s what the People WANT

3 panel comic

Panel 1 is titled “AI Bros:”
An Ai Bro is standing in front of a TV wearing his default expression (SMUG)

Behind him on the TV is the axe scene from American Psycho where Patrick Bateman is wearing the transparent raincoat and standing next to his ridiculous stereo. Except in this image Christian Bale has been replaced by the AI Bro.

AI bro annoyingly says “People want to put themselves in movies”

Panel 2 and 3 are titled “People:”

Panel 2:
A Blue Guy holds his phone up to a Yellow Guy and says “Hey! I’ve got a little video from that party”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy sees himself on the phone screen and almost cringes himself into a singularity. He is blushing and squeals “Ohh my Goddd. My FACE and VOICE”

It is possible to beat Donkey Kong Country 2 completely pacifist using a combination of secrets and glitches, allowing no enemy or boss to be harmed. Ironically, getting the true ending destroys Crocodile Isle, killing everyone on it anyway.

How to beat Donkey Kong Country 2 the pacifist way
Most enemies in the game can be spared via damage boosting through them or skipped via team-up throws or Dixie's twirl. However, some bonus rooms require all enemies inside to be defeated. These can be avoided by using the secret that gives 75 Kremkoins*, allowing all bonus rooms to be skipped.
*In the first level, enter the cabin, exit immediately. Collect the first banana bunch but not anything else. Return to the cabin, collect the balloon, Exit, collect the bunch again, but nothing else. Return, and it will contain a coin that gives you 75 Kremkoins.
To skip bosses, get a glitch called "Bonus Storage" by pausing and exiting while failing a bonus. After this, use "Funky Skip" (get near the boss, hold L+Select, then tap Right, Left, Up, Down, Right, Left. Hold Up, press B, let go of Up and B, and press Down) which will put you on the world map. Reenter the world, then visit any NPC, and if done correctly, you will be put on the world map again but with the next world unlocked without fighting the boss.
After beating all the Lost World levels (requires only getting to the beginning of K. Rool's Keep and the 75 Kremkoins) the final battle is unlocked. In this battle, the player needs to enter it, then die, and finally do another Funky Skip to enter the True Ending credits instantly, without harming K. Rool.
In an exquisite case of irony, the True Ending cutscene shows Crocodile Isle being blown up and sinking into the sea, presumably killing everyone on it (save for K. Rool, who escapes on a boat).
It seems all the pacifism was for nothing in the end.
