Thrilled by this: NYT call my new book, The Chaos Machine, an "authoritative and devastating account of the impacts of social media." "Utterly convincing and should obliterate any doubts about the significance of algorithmic intervention in human affairs"

This dropped hearing aid prices by 90%+. Countless people who couldn’t afford hearing aids can hear now. Biden has done a ton of stuff like this. Don’t listen to the doomposters who tell you it doesn’t matter who’s in office. It does.

The single most important article yet published on Trump's second term, by two scholars who since 2016 have been consistently correct in anticipating Trump's effect on our political system. Everyone should read it.

People really need to understand how mainstream it has become in some tech VC circles to argue that journalism itself is dangerous as an idea and should be abolished, and that it will be up to the tech world to carry this out.

Only 30% of Americans support overturning Roe, with 69% opposed, according to the most recent polling. Get used to it: everything we know about the trajectory of American democracy suggests that minoritarianism will become the norm.

Jokes aside it's legit hugely unethical to write this while you're having a secret affair with his opponent! I'm very glad Biden's out but jesus

Jesus. FTC finds companies are exploiting your data – browsing history, location, buying patterns, even “mouse movements on a webpage” – to gouge you with higher prices shown specifically to you. Just shocking.

Last summer @FTC launched an inquiry into whether people's private data is being used to set the prices they pay & whether firms are charging different people different prices for the same good or service. Today @FTC published initial findings. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

It's worth being ultra clear that so much as verbally criticizing the masked state agents occupying our streets is rapidly becoming effectively illegal. The police state is being built right before our eyes.

EXCLUSIVE: Earlier today ICE agents chase after a man in downtown Chicago after he made verbal comments but no physical or threatening contact. The man was able to get away.

This will get quietly passed over but it's an incredibly significant moment. They do not consider Democratic representatives or their voters to be legitimate participants in our politics. They want a single-party state in place of democracy and are making it so, piece by piece.

This briefing is SOLELY for GOP senators, I’m told. Comes as some Republicans have publicly taken issue with the lack of information coming from the Trump administration on the escalating strikes.
