At least on Twitter before Elon changed things, the same thing applied, tweets were public but you could still block people.

Currently, X displays a “You’re blocked” message when trying to view the profile of a person who’s blocked you. In addition to blocking all posts, it also prevents you from seeing their replies, media, followers, and following list.

Gaetz insisted on hiring a 17 year old to manage cybersecurity, what do you expect would happen.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but citizens don't elect the president. This is one of the citizenship questions most naturally born citizens don't know about.

I still prefer Veritaisum over a channel like Mark Rober which has almost 4x the subscribers, with content that sounds informational, but is really just dumbed down. Maybe Mark Rober is more aimed at younger kids, but they both are very similar with trying to make math and science accessible, but executed differently and I think Veriatsium done better.

With videos with exclusive access, i'd imagine it's difficult to do all the fact checking of everything the company is telling you. Tom Scott also dealt with this, and it requires a tremendous effort. If there are lies being spread and the description isn't updated or a pinned comment on the video set, then yeah, that's shitty behavior, but generally I haven't seen that from Derk.

I hate Trump as much as the next person, and virtually all the pandemic response was a shit show from the White House, but operation warp speed proved to be an actual good thing during a terrible time. It's very impressive we developed a vaccine so quickly and got us out of the pandemic faster because of it. It's kinda funny how one of his best accomplishments is the only thing his supporters will boo him about, and he largely can't take the credit for because of the backlash.

That last video is clearly someone at Tesla being maliciously compliant with the safety rules to check off a box and pass inspection. Whoever designed that does not actually care about safety.

On Jan 20th, she's going from Vice President to unemployed. Unemployed to governor would be a step up.

 
 

Today, Celine Dion's management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing "My Heart Will Go On" at a Donald Trump /JD Vance campaign rally in Montana. In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. ..And really, THAT song?

 
 
 

I didn't realize this was the season finale before watching and was mostly confused that was it after tonight's episode. Seems like they started more loose ends in that one episode, maybe in hope of another season, but it felt like it could have used an episode or two more to set that up better. Spoilers below:

The Acolyte - Episode 8 Season Finale Discussion Spoilers

  • I kept expecting the Green Jedi woman to ultimately be behind the destruction of the witches fortress. It still doesn't make sense that the stone structure could sustain so much damage from some paper burning. Maybe bad editing or something in the previous episodes, but seems like there's still a side of a story being withheld.
  • Reveal of Yoda (or yaddle before growing hair!) and who I assume is Plagueis was underwhelming. Either could have been omitted without issue. If they were going for fan service, focus on one. If it is Plagueis, does the timeline even make sense??
  • Honestly, I wish there were more episodes with the Lesbian Witch Cult which weren't all flashbacks. That conflict with the Jedi was interesting (for the two days it happened in universe) and could have explored more of that side of the force before it was killed off. I guess I'm in the minority based on the backlash that received.
  • Kung fu and lightsaber battles were pretty good. Is this the first time in live action a jedi has turned off a lightsaber mid fight? I think out of everything, the choreography was the strongest aspect of the series.

What'd everyone else think?

 

A U.S. Supreme Court opinion erroneously — and briefly — posted on the court’s website seems to indicate that the court will temporarily allow abortions in medical emergencies in Idaho, according to Bloomberg News.
