Yesterday, the European Union announced it is targeting Alphabet, Apple, and Meta (again) for a long list of fictitious crimes against competition. That the continent our country has paid to protect for the last 80 years is once again maliciously targeting our technology industry in an act of unprovoked trade war is nothing new, nor is our country’s failure to retaliate. But Washington is now assisting Brussels with its attack, which is a whole new kind of treachery. I’d call for action, but no American in power has that dog in him, and I’d say to vote, but LOL for who? The long game is the only game that we have left. Pray to God that someone’s playing it.

Academics aren’t qualified to censor the internet |
In a recent 60 Minutes segment, a professor complained that Twitter/X only removed 30% of the posts flagged by her "misinformation research group.” Obviously, the “content moderation” method of political censorship has been common since Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, and this is just another attempt to control the next election. But let's put all of that aside. A cabal of self-appointed amateur internet mods shouldn't be removing any percentage of posts! The fact that they're Ph.D.s makes them even less qualified. You fell for academia, the biggest scam in the country, and you think we’re vulnerable to misinformation?

Yesterday, New York Magazine ran a hit piece on Andrew Huberman, a popular health influencer long loathed by the establishment press for his dangerous philosophy of “do your own research” and “think for yourself.” To be fair, the notion of a rational, hyper-optimized self-improvement guy with six girlfriends who don’t know each other does have the awkward feeling of a televangelist caught smoking meth with a gay prostitute, but a “Liver King takes steroids” scoop this is not. In fact, the piece sort of suggests Huberman has the virility of six boyfriends, which I think technically makes this a victory. Anyway, it’s 2024, and most of us no longer have the energy to get mad about a famous guy’s (incredibly) messy personal life. Find me outside intermittent fasting, IDGAF.
