It's so obvious that the media is underreporting the GOP-Russia connection and over reporting the Biden age problem, and then this affects public opinion. It's 2016 ButHerEmails all over again.

JD Vance's misogyny is mind-boggling. Tech people should be speaking up about this. How can you have daughters and not publicly condemn this toxic mf?
I want to be clear here: JD Vance doesn't just hate women; rather, JD Vance has sat down and thought long & hard about his hatred of women. He has developed theories based on this distaste; about who belongs and contributes to society & who is A Nothing.

To fix things, Elon should:
• Reverse the reply ranking changes
• Bring back verification
• Stop boosting maga chuds - the All-In guys, catturd, etc
• Stop tweeting
Not sure there is an obvious path for Twitter to turn things around and slow down the rise of the other app. I suppose Musk can embark on a PR campaign to show he regrets some of his decisions and try to build trust. Or he will double down on a smaller Parler-like network.

Insane - the Times is super anti-Biden
According to the NYT, though Biden is leading his nearest opponent by +76% in the Michigan primary he “faced opposition.” Meanwhile, Trump is leading by +35% but “easily beat” his opponent.
The NYT bias in covering this election is just impossible to ignore, at this point.
