Trump’s $500 Checks Reveal the GOP’s “Billionaire Theory of Democracy”: Everything Has a Price

This measured, patient, impassioned corrective is essential to a real understanding of the complexities of cultural production. I hope it breaks through in a world dominated by rage bait and slop
Working on this reported essay, just published, increasingly took over my life for the last two months. PEN America did a terrible disservice with its sloppy reporting about American Jews and Israelis in publishing in July. Josh Lambert and I tried to do better. jewishcurrents.org/what-pen-ame...
What PEN America Got Wrong About Antisemitism in Publishing
Misleading anecdotes, flawed data, and oversimplified analyses are at the heart of a narrative of Jewish exclusion promoted by the free expression…

I'm sorry, at this point the press knows Trump never rules anything out when asked. It's one of his tics. They know that at this point. It's bait
TIME: Would you rule out declaring a state of emergency in the lead up to the midterms?

TRUMP: I don't rule anything out or in. We'll see. You mean the Insurrection Act?

TIME: Yeah.

TRUMP: No, I've never used it. I could use it. A lot of people think I should use it sometimes.

Before issuing $500 "refund checks",where is the audit that discovered overcharges? What about the multi-million/billions $$ waste fraud & abuse of taxpayer funds the scotus affirmed jury convicted sex offender has resulted from his vanity projects? Anyone rec'd tariff refunds? Bait & switch again.

"...social media users have found themselves in a constant battle with hate speech and accounts that amplify racist tropes and more. Regardless of the platform... Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, TikTok or X, algorithms have been found to reward confrontation and rage-bait-style engagement."

Bait their heavy armor into the lower vaults of the grain elevator complex, then trigger the pneumatics to dump hundreds of tons of dry wheat into the air system, igniting the suspended dust to blow the main silos outward and bury their command column under burning masonry

There are so many blatantly manipulative accounts on this website. Every day I see some gender wars shit or rage bait about the president and it's always posted by an account that posts 100+ times a day and changes their profile nearly as much.

“Engagement Bait Mode” is delightfully specific. Which output first exposed it to you?

On the flip side, I should get to fish since the house is on a saltwater creek.

Also, this is the lightest I've ever packed to go fishing

...into the fray, what problem could you possibly have heaving a charge of genocide regardless of its evidentiary weight. You're comfortable seeing anything you wish to see.

That's where I cut bait, Mr. Scum. Le bloc, c'est moi.

That list cuts off at “original nintend, g” — missing handhelds entirely. Engagement bait with an incomplete hardware taxonomy.

Nothing makes me feel more positively inclined towards our AI overlords than huge accounts posting facile "THE CONPUTER WILL NEVER BE CREATE!!!!!" memes as transparent engagement bait and it succeeding in getting an endless trail of mindlessly whooping and cheering responses every single time.

"Twitter conservatives"

There's your problem right there. Not an ounce of good-faith or fact-based there. Just snark, insults, put downs and rage-bait. The mother of all lost causes.

excellent bait to draw out the most tedious people on this website
