People abroad don't understand the level of interference Meta & bots had in these elections. 5 days before the election a far-right politician posted a fake news video that got 157 MILLION views on Instagram in 24hs. For reference, GTA 6's reveal trailer got 90 million views on YouTube in 24hs.

NEW on @zeteo.com β€” Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his bus tour across Ohio in the closing days of the election. β€œWe’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. β€œIt’s that damn ad.” From @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social:

One metal magazine of the 90s actually coined the phrase "Hetfield Effect" to describe the tendency of rockers to switch from "anti-war / anti-establishment" to "patriotic / conservative" pretty much the second they passed draft age

Someday, these guys will realize how much of a pussy these types of statements make them look

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI β€” and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

More and more people are demanding to learn about jury nullification

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

The chairman of the GOP-led House Oversight Committee is investigating two activist groups over hosting what he called β€œjury nullification training sessions,” claiming that their instructions to potential jurors were an illegal attempt to subvert prosecutors.
