It is said that in the future, AI will know us better than we know ourselves. It turns out the future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed yet.

Funny--while commenting on other Substack threads I've been using the word "samizdat" a lot these days. Great minds 'n all that.
I'm grateful to Twitter (public threads; I only signed up after the Shrike stopped allowing non-account holders to read them) for at least having been the way I found you and many others worth knowing of, so I knew whose Substacks to look for. Kinda like hopscotch. Except of course the real carnage to people and the societies we must live in isn't a very nice game.
I'm so sick of all this. I just want to thank you for all you do. Having a young family, a busy work life and yet you still take time to share what you have researched. I have benefitted from that and I thank you.
Don't let it get you down, the reliability and corruptive state of the networks that run us, are certain to fall. It's just that it is a difficult chore to accomplish
Banned long ago for pointing out statistical improbabilities of certain electoral outcomes. You nailed it with "Picking and choosing which official press releases to share with each other." That is all Twitter has become.
I'd love to know what their algorithms pick up. Ivermectin obviously and then what? "evidence" "efficacy". Or mores sophisticated than that? I wonder if anyone does experiments on this kind of stuff like trying to narrow down SEO terms.
It's quite ironic. The same issues of publication bias in science, which creates the illusion that the studies that are available are the only studies that have ever been conducted or suggest that drug are effective, are plaguing social media. Now, if no one sees any dissenting viewpoints or anything that argues IVM as an effective therapeutic a social media user will just make the assumption that this validates IVM's effectiveness.
I was going to tweet the exact same sentiment. Along the lines of the lady doth protest too much, and so it convinces me there must be validity to IVM effectiveness. I'm small potatoes so I might have got away with it. Starting to tire of Twitter because of all the censorship. It's spoiled.

Hopefully you'll be out of jail in time to host your Sunday morning Rabbit Hole space.
Over the target + more followers = stuff like this happening.

Sorry to hear Alexandros, don’t let the bastards get you down.

Twitter is becoming a useless cesspool of corporate/politicized censorship.

This came across my path and may remind us how this all came to light.
