The 2-Week Grift.
What if Trump’s instinct to delay and deflect began long before politics?

Fred Trump’s cognitive decline may have taught his son that short-term performance wins long-term control—if no one remembers what came before.

Is America now playing the role of his fading father?

The #Chatbot #Disinfo Inflaming the #LAProtests

On this episode of Uncanny Valley, our senior #politics editor discusses the spread of #disinformation online following the onset of the #LosAngeles #protests.

But hopefully something we can also kinda just grow out of, as we get used to how easy info and #disinfo spread now. I think "AI" is going to result in people trusting random images and videos less. Environments like this can encourage users to add source links in alt text.

A four-year-old Reddit account, with no post or comment history, suddenly started to make pro-fascist comments.

A 7-hour old comment reads "Act right and you wont go to jail. Its common sense."

The comment was posted in response to a video showing US Senator Alex Padilla being forcibly and illegally removed from a news conference held by Trump's Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

This looks like a bot sleeper account going active.

It calls itself the African Initiative.

But it’s run by russian intelligence and linked to Wagner's #disinfo legacy.

Joint findings by Viginum, FCDO and EEAS expose it as a Kremlin FIMI tool, not a news agency.

The @piratenpartei, the hegemonic party within the #PirateMovement, has not only been spreading #racist #antipalestinian #disinfo, but now has taken to disseminating right-wing #fakenews against environmentalist #NGOs. We're talking abt high-ranking officials like Schoresch Davoodi. Here's the proof that what they've been pushing is #propaganda:

Question is, why do other Pirate parties still align with them? Are they blind?

The #pandemic #disinfo playbook condensed to one example outbreak and story.

"Do your own research" is the progression of "do your own risk analysis". Dying "with measles" rather than "from measles". Organized disinfo. Quack medical practitioners. Ineffective alternative medicines. Undercounts. Altered death certificates. Minimize the primary risks and emphasize the secondary or tertiary risks. No lessons learned because ”everyone just wanted to move on."

Blame the victim or the institution - if you get sick, it's your fault because you are weak. “You’re the Cure.”

"Show this to Uncle Fred before he shares another fake video."

Yes, we know, it's a clip in Instagram. But it's smart and relevant and funny. So we thought we'd share it here as well.

Using the latest AI generators, people can fake anything in a couple of minutes now. Which will probably have a lot of unpleasant consequences.

So let's all stay very alert.

RFK Jr. just torched what's left of his credibility. He knowingly pushed an HHS report packed with lies, misquotes, and outright fabrications. This wasn’t sloppy—it was strategic deception. He manufactured evidence to push a narrative. That’s not policy—that’s propaganda. He must be investigated and removed.

En décembre dernier, #VIGINUM a publié D3lta, une librairie #python open source pour détecter les contenus textuels dupliqués.

On vous raconte le projet ici https://www.linkedin.com/posts/viginum_viginum-ugcPost-7300805755262124032-K-zK

Pour faciliter son utilisation, on a aussi publié D3lta sur pypi : https://pypi.org/project/d3lta/

🚨 Trump’s latest lie: claiming Biden hid a cancer diagnosis—zero proof, just another hit of fascist gaslighting. When truth threatens him, he invents conspiracies. It’s not politics. It’s pathological. #TrumpWatch #Resist #Disinfo www.npr.org/2025/05/19/n...

If you honestly believe Keir Starmer is capable not only of doing coke but smuggling it across a border, brazenly, you've got RFK Jr brain worms eating out your mind.

Rumours of Putin and those boys though, somehow I can believe that, ....something about his character....
