The American Sunlight Project on X - "As election season ramps up so does the spread of disinformation. Election officials in key battleground states are struggling to debunk false claims amplified on social media. Nina Jankowicz warns: unchecked disinfo on major platforms threatens democracy."
Jerry Dunleavy IV ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on X - "Nina Jankowicz (who runs this group) used Twitter in 2016 to push the Alfa Bank collusion hoax and used Twitter in 2020 to try to cast doubt on the Hunter Biden laptop & to falsely deny Iranian efforts to hurt Trump’s candidacy."

Jake ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on X - "I'm not sure why Gen Z is wracked with anxiety and depression but part of it must be that elite liberal institutions have pathologized normal democratic activities like voting.  My college, for example, is "holding space" for "processing the collective experiences of harm throughout this election cycle towards disenfranchized communities," and an ultra-elite private high school near me is talking about getting the students therapy for the trauma the election may cause them.  We can't systematically pathologize routine democratic practices and expect people to remain mentally healthy. Nor can we pathologize democratic practices and expect democracy to remain healthy."

Meme - Jonatan Pallesen @jonatanpallesen: "Left-wingers and women are more inclined to say that too many children are being born in the U.S. than too few.   Even though you have a replacement fertility way below replacement. Even that is not low enough. They want the population to dwindle away faster. Many of them think that more people will bring climate catastrophe. But this is a not true.  Since 1980, CO2 emissions have not increased in the U.S., although the population has.  New people contribute to emissions, but they also innovate more, decreasing overall emissions."
Left wing anti natalism strikes again. This is more evidence for the left wing death wish

Judge Rules That "Canadian Rail" Scheme Violated the Jones Act - "  Since 2017, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has been investigating a unique logistical arrangement that ASC created for transporting pollock from Alaska to Maine. An ASC subsidiary, Alaska Reefer Management (ARM), charters foreign-flag reefer ships to transport fish from Dutch Harbor to New Brunswick, Canada via the Panama Canal. At Bayside, New Brunswick, the fish is offloaded at a terminal operated by ARM subsidiary Kloosterboer International.  The cargo is then loaded into truck trailers and driven onto a two-car, one-track train, the Bayside Canadian Railway (BCR). This miniature onsite rail line carries each laden truck 100 feet to the south, then 100 feet back north, completing a round-trip "Canadian rail journey" (video at top). From the BCR's loading ramp, the truck drives over the border into Maine, finishing a 7,500 nm foreign-flag cargo shipment between U.S. points.  The Jones Act ordinarily bans foreign-flag vessels from transporting cargo in U.S. coastwise trade, but the law contains an obscure clause - the "Third Proviso" - that exempts shipment routes that are "in part over Canadian rail lines." According to ARM and terminal operator Kloosterboer International, the Bayside Canadian Railway - small as it may be - is indeed a "Canadian rail line" for the purposes of compliance. U.S. Customs and Border Protection disagrees, and in August, it issued fines totaling more than $350 million to ARM, ASC, Kloosterboer and other participants in the Bayside program.   On Wednesday, Judge Gleason agreed with CBP andd ruled that the Third Proviso requires "transportation" to occur during the Canadian rail portion of that route. Since the rail portion of the route starts and ends at the same point, it does not result in forward progress and therefore does not meet the statute's standard for "transportation," she ruled... This, however, does not mean that CBP has the green light to proceed with enforcement. Gleason determined that by immediately pursuing fines against ARM, CBP reversed its own previous guidance. In 2004, CBP had advised in a letter ruling that "any use of Canadian rail" - no matter the size or scope - met the standards of the Third Proviso."

There is no evidence that time spent on social media is correlated with adolescent mental health problems: Findings from a meta-analysis. - "The issue of whether social media use does or does not influence youth internalizing mental health disorders (e.g., anxiety, depression) remains a pressing concern for policymakers, parents, and psychologists. Widespread claims suggest potentially harmful effects of social media use on youth. This was investigated in a meta-analysis of 46 studies of youth social media use and mental health. Results indicated that the current pool of research is unable to support claims of harmful effects for social media use on youth internalizing disorders. Some types of methodological weaknesses, such as evident demand characteristics and lack of preregistration, remain common in this area. It is recommended that caution is issued when attributing mental health harm to social media use as the current evidence cannot support this"

Grummz on X - "Redot launched officially yesterday and has been under a deluge of vile attacks, threats of doxing, being called white supremecists  and more.  The Godot community managers approve of this and goad it on in the official Discord.  This is the true face of what you are dealing with if you ever just go “build your own.”  They want redot creators lives destroyed, just for forking a politically neutral engine.  The Godot team are vile, aggressive and violent people. Do not support them. Do not support any game that uses them."

Reason why companies are rapidly firing Gen Z employees revealed in new study - "In a newly released study that looked at responses from nearly 1,000 business leaders in August, it was found that more than half of employers had already fired college graduates who were hired in 2024.  With this in mind, one in seven employers said they might refrain from hiring graduates in 2025.  Intelligent's Chief Education and Career Development Advisor Huy Nguyen said in the report, as per Newsweek: "Many recent college graduates may struggle with entering the workforce for the first time as it can be a huge contrast from what they are used to throughout their education journey." He went on: "They are often unprepared for a less structured environment, workplace cultural dynamics, and the expectation of autonomous work. Although they may have some theoretical knowledge from college, they often lack the practical, real-world experience and soft skills required to succeed in the work environment."  Of the 1,000 employers who took part in the study, reportedly 75 percent of them said that some or all of their recent college graduate hires were unsatisfactory. Yikes.  The main reasons for this were lack of motivation, poor communication skills and lock of professionalism... Doubling down on this, 2023 figures suggested that nearly half of students didn't feel that their degrees armed them with the right skills, as per FE News.  An additional 20 percent said they would have found work experience more beneficial."

What is the fish hook theory? - "The so-called horseshoe theory that the far-left and far-right more closely resemble each another than they do the political centre has been around for decades, but now an alternative is gaining ground: fish hook theory.  Instead of a straight line, or a horseshoe where the two ends almost touch, the fish hook theory sees the political Left out on one end, and the Right bending around like a hook to end up close to the centre.  The suggestion is that people who are politically centrist are actually a lot closer to far-right politics than their “centre” label suggests."
There's no better illustration of how deluded the far left are, when they claim everyone to their right is "far right"

Elon Musk on X - "The term “far right” has been watered down so much by the legacy media as to render the term meaningless by historical standards, which is a terrible thing for them to do"
i/o on X - "I've talked about this before. The term "far-right" isn't usually used anymore to describe someone whose views can mostly be found at the far right of the political spectrum. It's almost exclusively used as a slur against people who hold opinions on race or immigration that don't conform to bumper sticker platitudes, even if few of these same persons' other political views code as rightwing.  An example: Marine Le Pen is referred to as far-right, despite the fact that at various times she's advocated economic policies that were to the left of those contained in the platform of the Democratic Party in the US.  At a more personal level, my account has been referred to as "far-right" in media and by prominent Twitter accounts, and I'm not even a conservative (and have never voted for a Republican in a national election). (Also, anyone who follows me knows that I'm a critic of the extreme right.)   The offense that warrants this slur being used against me is that I post data about race and European immigration that doesn't get reported in the mainstream media. Most of the people who call me "far-right" know I'm not right-wing, but they don't care, much like most of the people who call ordinary liberals or progressives "communists" don't care that they're mislabeling someone."

Meme - The Rabbit Hole @TheRabbitHole84: "People should use the “far right” label more accurately.  The label is currently so loosely applied that it’s effectively useless in sniffing out genuine cases of extremism and more often used to slander reasonable people."

Jason Aldean trolled with awkward old photo of Trump kissing wife amid anger over controversial music video - "Country singer Jason Aldean is being trolled after an awkward photo of Donald Trump kissing his wife resurfaced.  Commenters were quick to riff on the title of his current song, with its controversial video, “Try That in a Small Town”.  The former president is seen kissing Brittanny Kerr, whom Aldean married in 2015, on the forehead while she sits at a dinner table at an event, the date of which is unknown... Other comments ignored the kiss and were more concerned that Aldean had kept his cowboy hat on both inside and while dining."

Meme - "Let's analyze this logically, and treat this as presented, as you supposedly believe at face value. You think the Greeks, the Native Americans, the Japanese, the Celts, the Egyptians, the Romans, the Mongolians, and the Moors histories were built upon the seeds of black culture, and were powerful black empires of themselves, until outside intervention. So by your own belief, time and time again, at the height of your power, everyone on earth was able to defeat you, drive you out, take your history and culture as absolutely as could ever be done, and expunged you from it and the land. Everyone, and I mean absolutely everyone on earth, had a turn breaking your people and culture so thoroughly as to erase all marks you made on history, as they claimed everything by conquest for themselves. That must be a crushing inferiority complex you have going, if you believe this as presented."
