Also, the Alberta independent movement basically disappeared after the Yandex site was bombed. Fancy that.

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

There’s also this piece from last year which points to similar cognitive effects. Asbestos of the mind is an excellent way to put it.

Not to mention that we could’ve gotten plenty of diesel fuel-and cheaper, too-without helping Putin kill innocent Ukrainians. But now, the stain of their blood will forever remain on the hands of Trump and his soulless, hypocritical acolytes in the Republican party May they rot in hell

wow -- Fox Business is now treating Trump's completely made up economic boasts as though they are factual. Note the citation here -- "The White House" Reminder that the entire US economy is about $32t. If we really had $21t flowing in, you'd notice it Fox thinks their viewers are really dumb
Fox Biz screencap that says: "$21 TRILLION INVESTMENTS POURING INTO THE US"

This is about as upset as a NYT reporter is allowed to get:”An admission that the American president offered to sell arms to China is extraordinary.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...

Trump Offered to Sell Arms to China, U.S. Ambassador Says
President Trump made the offer to Xi Jinping, China’s leader, said David Perdue, the ambassador to China. The White House later said the U.S. had no plans for such a sale.

This is no echo chamber. Just because I may agree with a story/post/article doesn’t mean I can’t think about it critically.

While waiting for Trump to enter the signing of the US-Denmark-Greenland agreement at the UN, they chose “Send in the Clowns” as the background music. Yes, it’s real.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

Hussain Albukhaiti on Trump: We look at him here in Sana’a, and maybe in all Yemen, as someone who’s a fool who doesn’t know what to say or what not to say. What comes to his mouth, he will just say it… If somebody will break an agreement or a word with someone, we call him Trump.
