Glenn Greenwald

This entire thread is filled -- as it's billed -- with highly relevant and consequential facts that receive insufficient media attention. The whole thing is worth reading. This, in particular, struck me as vital:

That I haven't covered this case more is an omission on my part, but it deserves a lot more attention than it's received. This is a helpful thread:

I'm not endorsing any or all of this, but this NYT op-ed by 2 linguists and an AI specialist (one of whom is Chomsky) is very worth reading. It argues that the current AI model of ChatGPT is and always will be a primitive and inferior form of thought:

The attempt to depict people as sub-human monsters due to any political disagreements benefits outlets that thrive and depend on hateful polarization, but it's so often (not always, but often) a wild caricature. Read this reflective resignation letter from @buttonslives:

One of the most decent people on this site talks in a very candid and empathetic way about a sudden brain cancer diagnosis he got. Best wishes to @DrewHolden360 for the best and fastest recovery possible, and his thread is highly recommended:

Good article on how the invasion of Iraq wasn't a "blunder" but a grave crime. And yet - other than Judy Miller - none of the leading architects and advocates of it paid any price. To the contrary, they rose to the top of media and politics, beginning with the current President.

This is a great thread on how utterly damning is the @CJR 4-part exposé on the media's systemic lying that drove the Russiagate hoax. Tonight's @SystemUpdate_, starting live in 5 minutes, is devoted to this. Few things reveal more about US corporate media

The two best books on how the US National Security State and the CIA became a completely unaccountable, secretive and malicious force in post-WW2 US political life: 1) The Devil's Chessboard, by David Talbot 2) The Jakarta Method, by @Vinncent Bevins

I want to share a personal note for those interested: The last 4 months of my life have been by far the most difficult, with my husband in ICU battling a life-threatening illness. I read this book years ago, and again now, and can't recommend it enough

The NYT article on @mtaibbi's story is not great. Still, if you put it next to the CNN rant, you'll see immediately how CNN (like NBC) has a horde of "reporters" who are identical to DNC operatives and #Resistance fanatics and "report" like them:

Really interesting NYT article on the difficult decisions faced by @soledadobrien when deciding which type of art she wanted to decorate the floors of the guest house of her new estate in West Palm Beach, her third or fourth beautiful sprawling home.
