For a bunch of really bright tech people they sure are incredibly dumb when it comes to this issue.
"We have a problem - our users are too easily misled by fake news because they are too trusting. We need to figure out a solution."
......
"I know, instead of establishing what news sources are trustworthy we should just ask our easily misled users what media sources they think are trustworthy."
"stunned silence"
"champagne corks popping* "WE DID IT!!!"
Best part is he's named Charles Ponzi after the creator of the Ponzi scheme and 15k people retweet.... did everyone like not pay attention in school or something?
Is he though? All he really accomplished was getting more retweets of the hashtag.
Ponzi.. Ponzi... Ponzi? Wasn't he the guy on Happy Days? Ayyy lmao
Wait, Schumer wanted to eat detergent pods? Fuck this shit
Edit: Ah he thought it looked like candy

This is hilarious! They literally learned nothing from the events of the pasty few years. Reasonable people will spread their votes and Russian trolls will pick the winners :)
It's a classic case of "to a hammer everything is a nail".
If the entirety of your disposition, upbringing, and education (formal or otherwise) is invested in technology as an end-all solution and algorithms as the primary driver of social aggregation then you will completely miss out on the nuances and difficulties of old-fashioned human thought processes. These are people trained to think of things as if there is an objective view that will simply emerge from the collective ether of everyone without consideration for the ingrained and inherent flaws we have.
Have you met the American voter?
Trump cheating on his wife with a porn star who he paid $180,000 is hush money to was a story for about a day.
Or look at the polls related to the Senate Pedophile Candidate.
People were panicking that the election was 3 weeks away and people would have forgotten by then. And the fact is, the race did indeed tighten, and had there been another 1-2 weeks, he probably would have won.
The ONLY thing that matters to the American voter is what happens in the 2-3 weeks before the election.
Doesn't surprise me. Thinking about this practically, if there's anyone I don't want on the hook for a shutdown, it's Donnelly.
I think McCaskill is much scrappier and lives or dies on her own ability, whereas Donnelly is more likely to survive based on the environment.

It sounds like its inferring Meadows is actually running the show?
He's the person that Ponzi schemes were named after, lmao. He's also been dead for a long time.
McCaskill is one of the best retail politicians in the Senate. I'm not too worried about her or Tester. Manchin is pretty much an institution in WV. Donnelly however is fish out of water. He really needs luck.
The inability to craft a statement that sounds even a small bit like an actual policy...
Ryan is the speaker, McCarthy is the majority leader is probably what that guy was trying to say
He's not totally off the reservation here - the bill he signed reauthorizes section 702 (foreign surveillance against non-US persons) while any FISA warrants against his campaign staff (Manafort, Page, whatever) would have been done with a different part of the FISA law that wasn't expiring. The big brouhaha against 702 from privacy advocates, as it pertains to Americans, is mainly because it's open for abuse re: incidental collection and backdoor searches. (And realistically Trump's people have quite possibly been fucked by 702-related collection as well - the Russians they were constantly gabbing with could legitimately be targeted - but Ryan had to convince him otherwise so he'd backpeddle his tweet earlier in the week and sign the bill.)
That's not surprising but I'd be more interested in how many Americans would be in favor of supporting DACA if it meant the government wouldn't shut down.
At the same time, respondents blamed GOP/Trump over Dems.
Pretty sure DACA support has polled overwhemingly positively in the past.
What a bunch of bullshit. So if the government shuts down deep-cover operatives just go,"Welp, that was fun guys," and come home?
OMG, when it shut down before, I and everyone else on my project at 3-letter were deemed essential. He's full of shit.
That first response lost the game in one word.
(The game is: Say something factually bad that Trump has done to a Trump supporter, and count how many words it takes for them to say "Hillary")
That sounds like a work firewall thing. Works fine for me.
So Trumpy isn't doing his job with this MEMO thing. It's worse than Watergate, but he hasn't directed the DoJ to look into it and he even reauthorized the same law that was so disturbing, I mean, he could even declassify the original warrant and documents, but he hasn't even done that...
It's all so very interesting.
