Disabling the Russian bots that make up the majority of online MAGA right before the U.S. election arguably did more good for democracy and Ukraine than anything else could've. Thank you, Ukraine! www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

1/ 🧵 When the Russian Bots Went Quiet Ukraine bombed three Russian data centers. Social media got quieter. Fewer bots. Less hostility. Less manufactured outrage. President Zelenskyy is talking about it publicly. The implications reach beyond Russia. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

That is slander. Israel finances health coverage through a combination of an income-based health tax, general government state budgets, and private out-of-pocket or supplementary insurance payments. The US could have the same system if Americans didn’t elected ruthless Republicans and libertarians.

It doesn’t help when even the designers / coders are anthropomorphizing the tools they’re creating. My doctor’s office now has an AI phone receptionist called Olivia and we’re asked to “give her a chance.” I think we’re losing our collective minds.

My take on it - Americans overall are still too comfy to dedicate themselves to change and do what is necessary to protect our rights. They gave it all away for a promised reduction in price of eggs & gas. And to keep a black woman out of the WH. I will never get over that.

I hope you will elaborate on the implications of this movement along with potential risks and rewards. As a lay person, this resection in cash seems counterintuitive in a volatile market and seismic shifts expected as AI expands without guardrails.

Publishers Weekly listed A Resistance History of the United States today with a 100,000-copy first printing. Maybe we are finally ready to reckon with how America was actually built, who built it, who resisted it, and why the orthodox story has always worked so hard to make all that disappear.

4/ this parallel is not harmless. It gives readers a villain and protects the architecture. It says “No Kings” while leaving untouched the machinery that manufactures them. Anyone telling you otherwise is not preparing you to resist. They are preparing you to restore."

Clearly the leaders are posturing, making threats and claiming victory. It’s smoke & mirrors. My question is: Why has the market been wildly responding as if every rumor has a basis in economic reality? Fact: The Strait is closed. Why have rumors of a peace plan driven the market up?

To the “blame Israel” folks: Where was “America First” policy when Trump attacked Venezuela & a Mexican cartel leader, threatened Greenland, Canada, Cuba? How are Israelis responsible for all that? Also seems Iran War has tacit blessing of Saudis & UAE & RU. But sure, US President is blameless. /s
