In Germany, social media algorithms are pumping out huge amounts of far-right, pro-AfD content.
A new study found that, on TikTok Twitter, nearly 3/4 of all partisan content being pushed algorithmically to German users favored the party best known for its ties to neo-Nazis.

Hi. To escape the madness of the next few days (german election, election worker, wrong election winners, USA madness, Ukraine 🥺, TV duels, right-wing extremists, stupid social media comments, etc.), I'm avoiding all media for a few days and taking a vacation from the madness. Hang in there, friends, and I'll see you next week. 🤧👋🏻🫶🏻

How El Salvador’s Government Impeded a U.S. Probe of MS-13
—
President Donald Trump has praised Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele as a crime fighter, but new reporting based on interviews and documents reveals how senior Salvadoran officials have impeded a U.S. investigation of the MS-13 gang.

Awfully quiet at the Xitter site, hardly any tweets on trump's vanity parade, which started 30 minutes early at 6:00 EDT to avoid the rain.
No one seems to be crowing about crowd size or posting images.
We wonder why 😉
These images are from a CSPAN video, with a very small crowd along the parade route. What a waste of taxpayer money.

Trump’s anti-green agenda could lead to 1.3 million more temperature-related deaths.
Most of the people expected to suffer live in poor countries in Africa and South Asia that are least prepared to cope with the increasing heat from climate change.

U.S. agents suspected Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and some in his inner circle of diverting USAID funds to MS-13 leaders. Agents sought to review any U.S. bank accounts held by 15 Salvadoran political figures including Bukele, other senior officials and their relatives.

A friend asks, how can Trump abandon millions to invaders in Ukraine then complain about ‘Canada stooping so low as to use ELECTRICITY, that so affects the life of innocent people, as a bargaining chip and threat’?
Kōbō Abe, who wrote thoughtfully about crime in his dystopian, edge-of-society prose offers a helpful point:
‘The cleverest thief is the one who pretends he’s been robbed.’

If Trump is not stopped soon, he’ll no longer be necessary to Putin.
Give that a think.
The poison spreads like a spider’s paralytic.
