1/ Last October, @MonikaBauerlein and I reported that Facebook had specifically changed its algorithms to help Brietbart and other far-right outlets, and to throttle traffic to, specifically, @MotherJones... motherjones.com/media/2020/10/…
2/ Ex-employees privy to these decisions told us how Joel Kaplan and other executives at Facebook decided to tip the scales to far-right sites: motherjones.com/media/2020/10/…
3/ Now a new whistleblower has gone to the Post's @craigtimberg with confirmation, and more allegations, and has evidently gone to the SEC as well: washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
4/ A thing that's noticeable about Facebooks non denial denials (they gave them to us as well) is how they go out of their way to be insulting to journalists doing their jobs.

Also their greed. That's what this is all about. Greed.
5/ Genocide? Voter manipulation? Disinformation? Hate? Videotaped murders? Anorexic and suicidal teens?

None of that matters to the people who work for Facebook.

Big big @DavidCornDC scoop. Manchin telling associates he's thinking about leaving the party. motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
Here's his plan, first he leaves leadership. If that doesn't bend Dems to his will, he registers as an "American Independent." After that...
Manchin as an independent would have just as much power over the Dems, no real power over the GOP.

New contender for America's dumbest governor: @GovParsonMO
Reporter finds massive state security breach.
@stltoday holds off on publication until breach is fixed. @GovParsonMO calls reporter a hacker (uh, no) and threatens them with prosecution.

Incredible example of conter-productive dumbassery and basic tech ignorance. Image
If you're going to create a definitive ranking of America's dumbest governors (which I am not), you have to separate "dumb" from "venal." Some are both. Some of the most venal play dumb. But then there are just the actual idiots.

If nobody drank bottled water (and we installed fountains/filling stations to compensate) how much delivery congestion would be cut down.

I have no idea, but am guessing a measurable amount.
A thing you notice in countries with much better infrastructure, in addition to great transit, and bike lanes, and public space, is you can refill a water bottle easily.
During prohibition, often quite massive Temperance Fountains were installed all over big cities. We could do that now. Some airports have done to great success.
