Spin Zone / Musk announces new CEO of Twitter
« on: May 11, 2023, 07:45:06 PM »
Musk was silent on the person's name. The WSJ claims, as an inside scoop, that Linda Yaccarino is in discussion for the position.  I did a quick search and found that she had interviewed Musk just a few weeks ago:

Here is an article about a group of academics conspiring to figure out theories of the psychology of conspiracy theorists on Reason.com:

This Just In: Conspiracy Theorists Not Quite as Kooky as Previously Reported

In the comments section I found this pithy exchange:

User "I, Woodchipper":
At this point, the mainstream narrative *is* the conspiracy theory. If you believe what they’re telling us you have to believe in a whole lot of lunacy and nonsense.

A proposed bill in Florida states:

"If a blogger posts to a blog about an elected state officer and receives, or will receive, compensation for that post, the blogger must register with the appropriate office, as identified in paragraph (1)(f), within 5 days after the first post by the blogger which mentions an elected state officer."
Full text of the proposed law, which begins on page 5: https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/1316/BillText/Filed/PDF

Guess who proposed it?

Spin Zone / Things are heating up in Iran
« on: October 30, 2022, 12:08:56 PM »
I've been reading the daily press updates by the Institute for the Study of War on the Russia-Ukraine war here:

https://www.understandingwar.org/user/3100/track

They've also been covering the protests in Iran, which have been going on almost daily for weeks. Yesterday's update had an interesting nugget:
https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/iran-crisis-update-october-29

Quote
Anti-regime outlet IranWire reported that most arrested protesters told authorities that they sought to overthrow the Islamic Republic, citing a classified Iranian government report. The report allegedly identified the average age of arrested protesters as 17 and assessed that anti-regime demonstrations would continue. The report supposedly added that most protesters told interrogators that they had nothing to lose.  That comment could reflect frustration with endemic economic problems in Iran, but could also reflect a change in the attitude of young Iranians that should worry the regime.  Anti-regime slogans documented in recent weeks reflect a similar willingness to risk arrest and death in order to facilitate change. Protesters have been documented chanting slogans like “we will fight, we will die, we will take Iran back,” and “this is the year of blood, Khamenei will be overthrown” in recent weeks. These chants suggest that regime may have succeeded in its efforts to make Iranians more willing to sacrifice their lives...but not for the regime.
