Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story.
For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards.
Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵
It's the exact same thing with "music sucks now" crowd - just because you're putting in exactly 0 effort to engage with anything outside of what's being spoon-fed to you doesn't mean there isn't amazing art being made.
there is an uncomfortable truth that i think a lot of people like to avoid because it makes political discussions over trans people fall apart
and it is that the 'progressive' parties (labour, dems etc) aren't abandoning us for political points
they just want us dead too
While vacationing in Florida last December, we were driving in the car late at night and my sister started softly singing We Are Charlie Kirk while scrolling TikTok and that shit woke me up immediately.
Everyone really needs to get better at not engaging with right wing rage bait, the right just has guys whose whole job is to clip shit out of context and I see people who should know better fall for that shit.

found a whole operation of unmanned youtube channels making completely unchecked long form slop videos where the ai voice simulacra regularly trips up & does this for a full ten minutes every time.
all the very legit comments are like "NO! THATS NOT TRUE! YOU LIE HE DID NOT" & never acknowledge it.
the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches
