Hardly surprising that Trump’s Wednesday night speech backfired.

Interesting. Chicago political attack ad against #JunaidAhmed by #ChicagoProgressivePartnership is funded by #AIPAC. They are conservative neocons who don’t like Ahmed wanting to end military aid for Israel.

I don’t see the logic of people who are calling for boycotts of Open AI for the harm its product can cause in association with the DoD, but are perfectly fine being on Twitter with all the harm it is causing.

I do not think anybody is surprised that Trump's Administration may have withheld or removed documents that impact Trump. I think most people expected this. https://www.npr.org/2026/02/24/nx-s1-5723968/epstein-files-trump-accusation-maxwell #Trump #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Just read this sobering retrospective from @NiemanLab on Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post. It tracks the arc from 2013—when Bezos was the "badass" billionaire savior of journalism—to February 2026, where he has largely gone silent during a "bloodbath" of layoffs (30% of the newsroom) and a pivot toward "free market" editorializing. The piece highlights: The 300+ jobs cut yesterday (Feb 4), including bureaus and the Amazon reporter. The shift from "curious steward" to distant owner. How the 2024 non-endorsement was just the start of a broader "preemptive obedience" to power. It’s a case study in how quickly a "pillar of democracy" can be hollowed out when its ownership priorities shift.

Not surprising that people in Western cultures aren't keen on eating insects. I think the #IPIFF is going to far lobbying the EU to mandate publicly funded food services (school cafeterias) to use insect meat.

Investigation reports indicate that the US did bomb an Iranian elementary school for girls. Trump was flat out wrong, again, blaming others without having the facts.

There's a lot of fake videos about the Mid-East fighting. Some to create doubt and some to elevate Trump. It's a reminder to validate videos seen on social media (like Twitter) with an independent organization.
