Thinking about:
- Whether the AI agent social network Moltbook is more evidence of dead internet theory or a baby Skynet in the making?
- Hasan Piker getting a ban from Twitch over him using the phrase Zionist pigs and then jumping over to YouTube to do streaming and netting an even bigger audience.
- UpScrolled moving to #1 downloaded app after TikTok switched to US ownership. (I am on there right now mostly to just observe for now. The draw of it is that it is created by a Palestinian-Australian former tech guy who wanted a space for people to express themselves without getting censored. Before this increase in adoption, though, they only had a part-time moderator, and they have plans to establish a trust and safety board.)
- The strike and protests yesterday.
- The former head of the IDF basically comparing Israelis to Nazis.
- The Overton window moving on "Abolish ICE" even though the Dems continue to hedge on this. Every single Democrat + Collins and Murkowski voted for Sanders' amendment to repeal $75 billion in additional funding for ICE even though it failed.
