We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

De-radicalizing parents' algorithms? (lemm.ee)

My parents are both in the far-right misinformation gutter on Youtube, Tiktok, Instagram, and maybe some other apps I don't know about. I had the idea recently to try and surreptitiously deradicalize their algorithms by logging into their accounts and watching content that'll steer them towards credible information, but I'm not entirely sure what the best approach is. I know that if their feeds suddenly become left-leaning, they're going to notice something is up. They might even think the platform is trying to do a DEI on them, and may try switching to Truth Social.

Does anyone know if there are resources out there explaining how to do something like this? I'm sure I'm not the first person to have this idea. I don't use any of these sites/apps myself, so I don't feel like I know them enough to come up with a solid plan. I don't wanna fuck it up lol

One thing kids like is to be tricked.

For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse.

“Oh, no,” I said. “Disneyland burned down.” He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke.

I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.
