Vaccine Nation 0

The stupid. It metastasizes.

Researchers found that 30 percent of the 2,200 dog owners surveyed believed that canine vaccines were medically unnecessary and more than 20 percent believed that they were ineffective. Nearly 40 percent believed dog vaccinations to be unsafe, with 37 percent expressing the belief that some vaccines could even cause “canine autism”, despite no scientific evidence for vaccines causing this in dogs or humans.

Twits on Twitter X Offenders 0

A gale force of gullibility.

One more time, “social” media isn’t, and won’t be as long as it and its algorithms continue to magnify malice, foment falsehoods, nurture nasty, and propagate puerile.

Twits Own Twitter 0

Legal-oriented subreddit Xes out links to Twitter. Here’s the gist; more at the link.

Elon Musk has decided to reenable accounts suspended for posting CSAM (Child Sex Abuse Material–ed,) while at the same time allowing the most basic of CSAM scanning systems to break. And, that’s not even looking at how most of the team who was in charge of fighting CSAM on the site were either laid off or left.

r/law, a popular subreddit about the law announced last week that it was completely banning links to Twitter for this reason.

In related news, Paul Krugman asks, “What’s in a name?” A snippet:

He (Elon Musk–ed.) clearly suffers from a severe case of Tech Bro Syndrome, that weird combination of hubris and conspiracy theorizing so prevalent in his social set. He accused Twitter of censoring conservatives, ignoring the reality that in a MAGA-ridden nation any attempt to limit the spread of dangerous misinformation will hit the right harder than the left. He purchased Twitter in the belief that his personal brilliance could easily make the company profitable, no need for hard thinking about business strategy.

And he’s been flailing wildly ever since.
