Musk is Punking the Bots & Haters

This tweet is fascinating:

If I’m reading this correctly, Elon Musk is actually using the current hatred towards him to identify/trap the bots & spammers. It’s as if he has setup an entire focused technical team to improve their software, counting on the usual suspects to act … like themselves. And most on Twitter probably don’t even get how their own unbridled hatred is being used against them. It’s a digital version of the ultimate wasp trap!

Let That Sink In

Let’s talk about Yoel Roth.

We got a 35yo guy working at Twitter since his late 20s. Swarthmore Political Science + Film & Media Studies, UPenn PhD in Communication. Aspen Institute’s “Commission on Information Disorder”; researcher at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center’s “Dangerous Speech Project”, etc., etc.

He’s in position to shape the flow of speech in America at highest level, effecting the interactions and sightlines to information for millions of people. Has power to help cut off the President of the United States from his primary vehicle of digital communication to citizens…

Batteries for all!

I have to suggest a new headline: Ottawa seeks first place in race to national bankruptcy.

For the first time, Ottawa is set to subsidize the production costs of large electric vehicle battery producers.

A senior Canadian source — who was not authorized to comment publicly on the topic — confirmed that the goal in Ottawa is to “do like the United States” for “some big projects.”

Sources said the federal government already has delivered a clear message to a handful of multinational firms — that Canada will enhance its existing financing programs with “production support” measures.

“The director also rejected that the building was linked to alleged Chinese police stations…”

Let’s play bury the lede.

RCMP foreign interference investigators visit B.C. friendship society;

The RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team conducted interviews at the Wenzhou Friendship Society and in the surrounding neighbourhood.

At least a half-dozen officers canvassed the area.

20 paragraphs down…

The Globe and Mail has reported that in 2016, the Wenzhou society’s Miaofei Pan hosted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a private gathering at Pan’s West Vancouver mansion.

Pan offered pro-Beijing businessmen an intimate opportunity to rub shoulders with Trudeau, allegedly in exchange for political donations…

Sam Cooper soldiers on alone…

America Is Back

Avoid Strength, Attack Weakness.

RT editor in chief Margarita Simonyan in a television appearance Thursday said she was “very amused but not surprised” that the Biden administration swapped Griner, rather than Whelan, for notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, as Whelan has “three problems.”

“His first problem is that he is white. His second problem is he is a man. His third problem: He is a heterosexual. This is not something that can be forgiven today,” Simonyan said. […]

Bout, a former Soviet military translator known as the “Merchant of Death,” was convicted in 2011 of selling weapons to a Colombian terrorist cell that planned to kill American soldiers. Simonyan, whom the State Department calls “Vladimir Putin’s loyal propagandist,” said Bout’s release is “the first good news” for Russia.

“The second good news is that [the United States] spits on its heroes to the extent that it considers it significantly more important to free a rightfully charged, well-known athlete,” the Russian propaganda chief said, adding that “this says a lot about the state of this society, of these intelligence agencies, and everything related to geopolitical confrontation.”

Griner since her arrest has become a cause célèbre, which likely informed the Biden administration’s decision to prioritize her release over other Americans imprisoned abroad. President Joe Biden has met with Griner’s wife Cherelle several times, inviting her to the Oval Office on Thursday to personally share the news of Griner’s release.

Hockey Night In Transada

“Get a stretcher! Get a medic!”

On November 22nd, the NHL made headlines when it tweeted that “Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Nonbinary identity is real.” Predictably, this declaration was widely praised by progressives and just as widely mocked by conservatives. And yet, amid all this culture-war sound and fury, there was little news to be had about the event that had precipitated the league’s controversial gender diktat in the first place: an NHL-supported and -sponsored “All-Trans Draft Tournament” held in Middleton, WI—reportedly the first tournament of its kind in the history of hockey.

Aside from a tweet containing four photos of the November 19th–20th event, the NHL provided no substantive information about how the tournament unfolded. Nor did media outlets such as Hockey News, whose reporting consisted instead of cheery tournament summaries (“The arena was just buzzing with trans joy for two solid days”) sourced to the organizers’ social media accounts. Vice sent a five-person film crew to cover the tournament, including two cameramen, but so far hasn’t reported anything on what that unit filmed. So as far as I know, in fact, I’m the first person to publicly report the events described below.
