Twitter is starting to get super buggy. Half the time I try to post something it fails.

Not Elon related, but the total collapse of one of the largest airlines in the US seems pretty significant

Commenting on your signature, did you know Disney was actually part of wartime propaganda during the world war? Walt Disney's studio in Burbank got taken over with wartime machines and he was absolutely mad about it.

That's true... to some extent.. but nowhere near as insightful as folks seem to think. No one thinks for themselves, no one thinks alone. We will always rely on the reports and opinions of others to inform ourselves. Thinking entirely for yourself is just a fantasy. You are not an expert on all things, and you are not a first-hand observer of all events. Your view of the world has been colored by the way you were raised.
Don't kid yourself.
You will always have to discern good opinions from bad, no matter whether you agree with the source or not. Even the best sources are wrong sometimes. If you don't think your thinking can be flawed, or that you can be manipulated, or that your own biases don't affect your views, or that you can't be fooled by false information- you're the moron getting played.

Quote:
A Shiba Inu who earned global fame for starring in a viral meme is sick with leukemia and liver disease, her owner says.
In a series of Instagram posts this week, Atsuko Sato, a teacher who lives in Japan, said the 17-year-old pooch was in "a very dangerous condition" after being diagnosed with acute cholangiohepatitis, a type of inflammation in the digestive system, and chronic lymphoma leukemia, a blood cancer.
"Right now, the liver level is very bad and jaundice appears," Sato wrote in one caption. "But antibiotics will definitely improve."
The dog, known by the name "Kabosu," had stopped eating and drinking over the weekend but was beginning to get her energy back, Sato said.
Kabosu, a rescue dog, became an internet sensation after social media users began resharing a photo posted to Sato's personal blog in 2010.
Kabosu's smirking face, side eyes and crossed paws were a hit online, often overlaid with comic sans text depicting what might be her inner dialogue. Users began referring to the image as "doge" and a global meme was born.
According to internet lore, the term "doge" first appeared in a 2005 episode of "Homestar Runner," an animated web-based comedy series.
But the misspelled moniker took on another meaning in 2013 with the emergence of a titularly-branded cryptocurrency, Dogecoin.
The currency — which was supposed to be a joke — spiked in value years later when Elon Musk, the richest man on earth at the time, tweeted "Dogecoin is the people's currency" and "no highs, no lows, only Doge." Kabosu's legacy has only continued to grow, transcending internet culture to appear on , ads for the Stockholm subway and the jerseys of professional athletes.
In 2021, the iconic image of Kabosu sold as an NFT for a record $4 million.
On Instagram, Kabosu's owner thanked the dog's fans for the outpouring of support, saying the pair were "getting power from all over the world."
The wildest part of this article is that it's not satire, but if someone from the year 2000 read it they'd think every line was a joke.

Does anyone think about the actual lack of investigation in this reporting?
The FBI comes with an excel spreadsheet of individuals they have identified as foreign threat actors and requests Twitters help.
Ok, first, requests are not infringing on any freedom. You're free to accept or deny the request. That's why the word request is important.
Second, we are to assume that the FBI is misleading Twitter with these lists? Why aren't these guys investigating the content of the lists if that's the case? It always stops at: the FBI made a request, therefore bad.
Do some actual journalism FFS. This is exactly what false narratives are all about. Playing on preconceived notions of a target audience without actually providing any evidence at all.

Never with any arraignments.
