🎉 Oh look, #Microsoft is in hot water again! This time for bamboozling Aussies with their ✨magical✨ 365 subscriptions. Maybe they should try selling boomerangs instead—at least those come back when they go missing! 🤷♂️🔄

I was at a random convenience store and they had a shelf of Fuji Pro 400H and Provia 100F in 120 for $5 a roll. After a lovely chat they were more than happy for me to buy the whole stock of about twenty rolls since they never sell them.
I just woke up and I'm quite upset to discover I was literally dreaming of film and there's no stash of Fuji in my fridge 😭 -
"His mission is to eradicate '#WokeJesus'": How money, lies and religion are abused to gut #democracy
Journalist Katherine Stewart's "Money, Lies, and God" takes readers into Trump's movement to end America
By Amanda Marcotte
Published February 18, 2025"Money, God and lies: These are the three pillars of the movement that led to Donald Trump's disturbing victory in November. A well-funded #propaganda machine that exploits people's cultural #fears and spiritual yearnings, turning them away from their economic self-interests and toward an #authoritarian movement to end democracy. Katherine Stewart spent months traveling and researching the various people — from far-right priests to atheist #billionaires — who have come together to #bamboozle millions of Americans into backing a political movement that wants to take away their rights and safety.
"In her new book 'Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy,' Stewart offers a grounds-eye view of the machine that led so many Americans to vote against themselves and their democracy. She spoke with Salon about her experiences and how it is that disinformation has gotten its hooks into so many Americans."

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. ~Carl Sagan

🤔 🙄 😆 I have a really intense dislike for the fu*king 🤡 . I wish I would have sent it. He embodies 'Uncle Tom Cabinet'. GOP used him as a motherf*cking prop.

Where is the converse #AI, the AI that detects when other systems are using things like #memeWarfare, #subliminalAdvertising, #psychicDriving, #music, #neuralLinguisticProgramming or #complexityTheatre to #bamboozle, #manipulate and/or #exploit the viewer - and can warn them about it.It will probably go haywire while the #television is on - #communityTelevision less-so of course. It would go wild on #Facebook and #Twitter too.
Detecting #manipulation is extremely difficult, though.
