“I started building social media to give people a voice.” There was a time — and not that long ago — when Facebook sold itself as the great democratizer of speech. Mark Zuckerberg stood on stages and told the world that more voices, not fewer, made society stronger. Facebook was supposed to be the digital town square, the place where citizens could speak directly to each other and even to their elected officials. But somewhere along the way, the “public square” became a gat

Congress has declined to approve ballroom funds Reporting from Yahoo News states that the Republican‑led Congress has declined to approve funds for the ballroom, with some GOP lawmakers pointin

It started with a single email. One blog link. One attempt at dialogue. My submission wasn’t political, controversial, or confrontational. It was about something simple and universal: using math to understand the world and make better business decisions. A practical toolset. A way of thinking. A method for clarity. And yet the immediate response from a local Waco, Texas trade magazine was: “Take me off your list.” Instant. Final. Automatic. Which means something important: th

Shelter Pontificate in the early years... A discovery I was absolutely not prepared for. UPDATE TO ORIGINAL STORY... I thought I knew the story. I thought Shelter Pontificate was the journalist who burned out in 2018, vanished into the digital wilderness, and re‑emerged years later as the Doctor of Journalism — a rogue analyst, a chaos cartographer, a man who writes like he’s trying to warn the future about the present. That was the myth. But today I found something that rewi

— A blog post summarizing John’s concept from an outside perspective (Shelter Pontificate & Copilot I came across a fascinating breakdown today from a creator who’s been developing a formal way to interpret social‑media engagement. Instead of treating likes, shares, and comments as disconnected numbers, he proposes something he calls the Engagement Set, or ES, and honestly, it’s one of the clearest frameworks I’ve seen for understanding how people actually behave online. Her

Copilot & me GO 'old' hippie... You know, kid… back in my day, before calculators got all high‑and‑mighty and phones started pretending they were smarter than people, we used to sit cross‑legged on the floor, barefoot, solving rational expressions by candlelight. Not because we had to — but because the universe asked nicely. Applications of Criss Cross Multiplication Criss Cross Multiplication is a technique primarily used for simplifying the process of multiplying fractions,

On the other end of the line, the historic Supreme Court ruling in New York Times Co. v. United States is read aloud.

Summary of the Video The video titled “Is Demanding the Truth ‘TDS’? What Welker Got Right About Trump’s election lies” appears to be a commentary piece by Russ Rozean. The central theme focuses on press accountability, trut

#jropixpoetry #jronews #jropixmathy  On the windswept prairies of Kansas and Oklahoma, where settler plows met ancient buffalo trails, the graves of our ancestors stand as quiet altars. Pioneer family plots bloom each spring with hardy peonies and iris—flowers planted by hands that once broke sod under Protestant hymns—while nearby, the land itself holds the memory of Indigenous peoples whose burial rites returned bodies to Mother Earth in sacred circles.
