People will say that Putin didn’t win an election, then say that his citizens also madly agree with him on everything. It’s impossible for both. If the man rigs elections, he’s not popular. If the citizens love him, he doesn’t need to rig them.

I’m really surprised to see this take from you. Have you considered that perhaps he was unpopular until he wanted to help Russians in Donetsk and Crimea, and the war boosted his popularity?

Really weird that people have such conflicting ideas about such a vile monster.

I mean, he’s a liberal now, and yet he’s still scapegoated for Western failures. Why do you consider him “a vile monster?” Is he as vile as Western leaders?

Dissenters?

It’s good information about how bad the app really is. People should not dismiss the information because of the crappy website complaints.

Of course you deserve it. What happened with me is, I started noticing things that before I was too caught up in my feels to notice. For example, mean girls/boys are just another sort of “pick me.”

Love yourself. It’s pretty easy to love yourself enough to say yes, not easy to say no to things we should. It starts with boring, mundane things. Love yourself enough to say no to the large piece of cake and yes to the banana. Love yourself enough to make yourself brush your teeth when you’re really tired and it’s just once. Enough to choose water over soda, a salad over a burger. Enough to look in the mirror and say, “I’m enough.” “I’ve got this.” “Thank you for loving me.” “Seems like you’ve got complex feelings, let’s sit with those and work through them.”

Also consider independent outlets, multiple.

Trump lies, Xi tells the truth. Actually it’s was always the United States projecting their crimes onto every other nation-state. From George Washington forward.

WebinarTV, a company that bills itself as “a search engine for the best webinars,” is secretly scanning the internet for Zoom meeting links, recording the calls, and turning them into AI-generated podcasts for profit. In some cases, people only found out that their Zoom calls were recorded once WebinarTV reached out to them directly to say their call was turned into a podcast in an attempt to promote WebinarTV’s services. WebinarTV claims to host more than 200,000 webinars. It’s not clear how it’s recording so many Zoom calls without permission, but in some cases the stolen videos posted to WebinarTV can put call participants at risk. Tom Rademacher, a teacher and editor, told me he organized a Zoom call for educators and education advocates in the months after Donald Trump was elected to discuss keeping kids safe from ICE. “I very intentionally did not record the webinar since we’d be talking politics and there were some local electeds and district leaders that were on,” Rademacher told me. “There were definitely people on there who it would have been bad politically and professionally to be, especially at the time, linked to being anti-Trump in an education space.” Rademacher received an email on October 7, 2025, from WebinarTV VP of communications Sarah Blair, whose profile image appears to be AI-generated and who has no online presence. “Your webinar is featured on the Phil & Amy Show,” Blair said in her email. “They talk about the highlights from your webinar - without giving away too much - to entice viewers. To listen to the show, click Highlights tab on the OnDemand page or click here.”

“We respectfully disagree with the verdict and will appeal. We work hard to keep people safe on our platforms and are clear about the challenges of identifying and removing bad actors or harmful content,” said a Meta spokesperson. “We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously, and we remain confident in our record of protecting teens online.” Internal Meta documents and testimony obtained by the New Mexico department of justice during the litigation revealed that both company employees and external child safety experts repeatedly warned about risks and harmful conditions on Meta’s platforms. Evidence presented to the jury included details of the 2024 arrest of three men charged with sexually preying on children through Meta’s platforms, and attempting to meet up with them. This was part of a sting investigation operated by undercover agents and dubbed “Operation MetaPhile” by the attorney general’s office.
