Link Deciding when, whether or how companies and organizations should advertise during a crisis may not always be a clearcut or easy decision to make. A lot can be riding on the outcome, including the image, reputation and credibility of the organization—not to mentioned its financial success.

Special investigation via the Wall Street Journal: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-facebook-files-11631713039? Facebook Inc. knows, in acute detail, that its platforms are riddled with flaws that cause harm, often in ways only the company fully understands. That is the central finding of a Wall Street Journal series, based on a review of internal Facebook documents, including research reports, online employee discussions and drafts of presentations to senior management. NY Times follow up article: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/17/business/dealbook/facebook-files-whistleblower.html We've been discussing this for ages, but nice to see …

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/09/30/special-ops-troops-hunkered-down-california-airport-hangar-after-nighttime-ninja-attack.html A sword-wielding man dressed as a ninja attacked several special operations soldiers who were training at a California airport, reportedly forcing them to shelter in a hangar and inflicting wounds that required stitches. The bizarre assault took place at Inyokern Airport, an airfield in the Mojave Desert about 100 miles north of Los Angeles, sometime after 1 a.m. on Sept. 18, according to what appears to be a military incident report shared on Instagram and Reddit. Records from the Ridgecrest Police…

I have been keeping an ear open for the AI rat race for some time and I am not sure if this release is perhaps a cover story, or ploy, to something bigger but, if it true, I did give it thought China would become the new Superpower amd eventually claim global dominace through AI. https://www.iflscience.com/technology/china-has-already-beaten-the-us-to-be-ai-superpower-says-expentagon-chief/

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/09/01/supreme-court-texas-abortion-ban-508275 “Beyond outlawing abortion as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, the Texas law, signed in May, would deputize citizens to file civil suits against abortion providers or anyone who helps facilitate the procedure after six weeks, such as a person who drives a pregnant person to the clinic. Individuals found to have violated the law would have to pay $10,000 to the person who successfully brings such a suit — a bounty abortion rights advocates warn will encourage harassment, intimidation and vigilantism.”

Basically... Watch how this totalitarian demon tries to sell this, absolute control with no checks in place. Unwarranted searches, removal of rights without any due process. Swatted for your facebook post, getting hacked, or liking the wrong fucking meme. Get the fuck off from social media.

Aside from the name of my next punk band project, and the click-baity styled title, I didn't quite know where else to put this where you all would see it, besides start a thread here. Listened to, what i thought was, a really good podcast last night. Probably going to listen to it again today. They talk about the shadiness of some healthcare practices and pricing, among some other things. Some talk about trust issues and unnecessary treatments for @Dirty_habiTand some Free Market talk for @Mercer Everything that does a body good and a 12oz thread needs. A couple things they mentioned i made a point to remember: - They surveye…

So this is a sort of aggregate of several threads that I thought is past due as a focused topic of discussion. It Dort of occurred to me while in the shower this morning, that the Covid-19 debate is very near exactly the same as the gun debate once you abstract the specific detail. Like most discussions, it falls near;y perfectly along partisan lines, which in turn, moves in a different direction that what would likely benefit everyone both individually and collectively. Go grab a coffee or a beer, as I explain my thought process and position... We see the word "science" thrown around quite a bit lately, most especially in regards to the Covid-19 t…

“This new law would allow the police to clampdown on protests for being too noisy, and create 10-year prison sentences just for causing someone ‘serious annoyance’. The bill would also introduce longer prison sentences for serial burglars, knife carriers, killer drivers and children who commit murder, as well as changing release provisions to keep some prisoners inside for longer.” https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/policing-bill-mps-vote-for-e2-80-98draconian-e2-80-99-protest-laws-despite-mounting-opposition/ar-AALNL7y

MADRID (AP) — John McAfee, the creator of McAfee antivirus software, was found dead in his jail cell near Barcelona in an apparent suicide Wednesday, hours after a Spanish court approved his extradition to the United States to face tax charges punishable by decades in prison, authorities said. The eccentric cryptocurrency promoter and tax opponent whose history of legal troubles spanned from Tennessee to Central America to the Caribbean was discovered at the Brians 2 penitentiary in northeastern Spain. Security personnel tried to revive him, but the jail’s medical team finally certified his death, a statement from the regional Catalan government said. “A judicia…
