Gavin Newsome wants to be the savior of the DNC and to ride the wave of anti-Trump sentiment to become a popular and beloved leader. But he’s a monster with strangely close ties to the Trump family via his ex-wife Kimberly Guilfoyle, Don Jr.'s girlfriend.
Newsome can’t be trusted and it’s nice to see he’s showing why by speaking his mind. He was shitty as a mayor and is reactionary as a governor.

Multiple elections have shown interference is a real issue and now that there’s a possibility of an inside job you say to ignore the most likely source of the problem? You make no sense.
Feels like Russian sympathizers infiltrated the DNC during Hilary’s campaign, ran an inept campaign, and never left. They have repeatedly sucked out all of the actual momentum from left leaning movements and elevated conservative talking points by never being on the offensive with their language.
…be the change…
Conservatives are unable to imagine things clearly and so have to look to the past to better understand what is being said. But they also don’t have the imagination to distinguish between what’s being imagined and what happened in the past. So the end result is conservatives don’t want to do anything new because they don’t and/or can’t understand it.
MAGA look to the past to celebrate the psychotic asocial Trump crotch goblin because they don’t know and can’t guess what he will become. They can’t say “he’s going to be great because of this!”
Instead we get screenshots showing two human heads and how close they are to being the same. The person behind each is so radically different that there is literally no real comparison. But they want the accolades and history to remember them and the only thing they know is old shit that has happened.
Gestapo job application right there. Guess I’m going to learn how the Resistance operated.
Yeah, that makes sense.
“Just because there are non-right medias means the entire industry is pro-left. Nevermind that right wing news makes up a literal majority of the news people actually consume - it’s the number of companies that matters.”
Singularly the easiest way to show you don’t understand how numbers work. And you vote. No wonder America is dying.
Doesn’t mean it’s good or should spread as an idea.

First he doesn’t understand how budgets work and then removes the FAA head days before a fatal mid air collision. Does Trump do anything that is accurate, useful, or valuable? What a maroon.
If they cared about history before 1776 they would.
At the same time, social networking is built into the most popular Chinese online shopping platforms, like Taobao, Tmall, and JD.com. They feature livestreamed videos of shopping influencers, and robust chat and photo-sharing functions, blurring the lines between social media and e-commerce.
The model has delivered: In 2023, TikTok’s Chinese sister app, Douyin, said its platform sales exceeded 2 trillion yuan ($2 billion). Xiaohongshu doesn’t disclose detailed figures, but the app’s aggressive expansion into social commerce in 2023 coincided with the first year it turned a net profit to the tune of $500 million.
So China has several profitable social media companies and a model that works regardless of the platform. It feels like Insta has tried this and doesn’t quite understand the mechanics but imitates showing influencer driven decisions. The difference is that western influencers sell their exposure while TikTok (et al) use influencers as their product and charge to alter the algorithm to expose the product to a targeted audience. It’s insidious because people will be shown something that they didn’t know they wanted and led to believe that they made the decision to get this thing. It’s Inception, but with our hobbies and interests.
The ramifications for niche porn are tremendous. Both weird categories of pornography and the idea that small groups will be fed a constant stream of their own unique interests. Imagine if you didn’t know this was happening and had an expensive hobby. Social media wants you to buy things and will give you the connection to spend instead of pursuing the hobby.
The hobby may soon not be about what we do but what we bought to show we are hobbyists. Consumption as participation. I guess we already do this with streaming entertainment, so why not?
This was going on during Cambridge Analytica back in 2016. Studies don’t do much to fix things though.
