Hunter Biden (Photo: Shutterstock) Unless you’re on X (and seriously, why should you be?), you’ve probably missed the fact that Hunter Biden has been going viral. The son of former President Joe Biden has had a Twitter account since 2013. However, he didn’t post anything on it. That all changed in late May when he began to tweet. I'm Hunter Biden. You've never actually heard from me.— Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) May 19, 2026 He began by posting tweets about being seven years sober and about recovery. Politics, but make it gay! Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more! — Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) June 1, 2026 This won him praise from users from across the political spectrum. Addiction, after all, doesn’t care about someone’s politics. Appreciate that very much.— Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) June 3, 2026 Thanks man. I don’t know you- but I think I like you.— Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) June 1, 2026 Thank you- truly appreciate you.— Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) June 1, 2026 He also clapped back at Fox News-driven criticism. What are you talking about. I live in LA. My wife is South African and we have spent some time

Nieman Journalism Lab: Twitter/X Punishes Accounts That Post Links Laura Hazard Owen, writing for Nieman Journalism Lab back in April: I used Claude to help me scrape the 200 most recent tweets from 18 large publishers’ X accounts and track the engagement (likes + comments + retweets) on each. Six of those publishers have paywalls: Bloomberg, CNN, Forbes, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. Nine don’t: Al Jazeera English, AP, BBC, Breitbart News, CBS News, Daily Wire, Fox News, NBC News, and Reuters. The last three accounts I looked at — Leading Report, unusual_whales, and Globe Eye News — are not news publishers, but aggregate breaking news in tweets without links. (Here, for example, is an example of a Leading Report tweet: “BREAKING: Iran has halted direct talks with the US, per WSJ.” They’re sometimes referred to as engagement-maxing accounts. These charts make it pretty clear that links in tweets hurt engagement. The connection was so apparent in my analysis that a graph including all 18 publishers is almost unreadable: The traditional, link-loving publishers are clustered in the bottom left corner (lots of links, little engagement) in a nearly indistinguishable mass of bubbles, no matter how large their

The Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday that it is considering modifying or setting aside a 2022 settlement order with what was then Twitter for using account security data to support targeted advertising. Twitter, renamed X in 2023, filed a petition saying that the settlement terms are unfair because the order was issued against a company that “no longer exists,” the workers responsible for the scheme no longer work for X and the firm has since established a “world class” privacy and data protection program, according to an FTC call for public comment. The tech giant was fined $150 million and prohibited from continuing to profit from what an FTC press release at the time called “deceptively collected data.” Twitter came under new ownership in October 2022 when Elon Musk bought the company.  X is also arguing that the order “no longer serves any valid regulatory purpose, imposing millions of dollars in needless costs to address obligations and protections already required by domestic and international privacy regimes and industry-recognized frameworks that X Corp. follows,” the press release said. The tech giant holds that setting the order aside is in keeping with First Amendment principles and that changing or setting aside the

On Wednesday, April 29, Cheryl W. Thompson, an award-winning journalist and investigative correspondent for National Public Radio’s, headlined this year’s Hall School of Journalism and Communication M. Stanton Evans Symposium on the Troy Campus. Thompson spoke with HSJC students and faculty members about her career, the “power of the pen,” and the need for journalism as a pillar of democracy. Before joining NPR in 2019 Thompson spent over 20 years at The Washington Post as an investigative reporter, writing about law enforcement, political corruption, guns and served as a White House correspondent during Barack Obama’s first term. While working at The Gainesville Sun, Thompson discovered a passion for stories that went beyond the daily news cycle to make a real impact.  “I started examining spending by public officials and holding them accountable,” Thompson said. “These stories resonated with the powers that be in city government, which sometimes led to policy changes or personnel moves. In other words, the stories had impact, and impact is one of those things you hope for with investigative reporting. It may not happen with a story, but you want impact.” During her stint at the Los Angeles Daily News, Thompson reported on the second largest school district in the country

June 1, 2026 - 09:19 PM Arni Sveinsson finishes play with a 4-under par 68 by Kent Lowe CARLSBAD, California – Sophomore Arni Sveinsson of LSU posted a 4-under 68 to lead the Tigers in the final round here Monday in the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship at the OMNI La Costa Resort and Spa North Course. The Tigers, who advanced to this final round on the basis of a historic team round of 18-under par on Sunday, finished where they started in 12th place at 3-over par 1,155 after a final round on Monday of 1-over par 289. It would take under par to make the final eight teams for match play and that number was 2-under par 1,150 which four teams tied at that score (UCLA, Tennessee, North Carolina and Stanford). There would be a playoff later Monday night to decide the final two teams that would advance to the quarterfinal round of play. Sveinsson, who has battled through injury all spring, opened with birdies on the par 5 10th and par 4 11th hole before posting 12 consecutive pars. He then birdied the par 5 sixth, bogeyed the par 4 seventh and finished with back-to-back birdies

Troy University’s Montgomery Metro Alumni Chapter gathered earlier this month to award scholarship to two current TROY students and one incoming student. The chapter awarded $2,000 scholarships current TROY students Jennifer Serna and Samuel Myers and incoming student Maggie Weatherford, a recent graduate of Pike Road High School. An annual golf tournament and silent auction are the chapter’s main fundraising effort to fund scholarships. “Mainly due to our golf tournament each fall and the silent auction we have along with it, we have been able to increase the amount of our scholarships,” said chapter President Bryan Hubbard. “This year we are able to give three scholarships at $2,000 each, and we are very proud of that.” Myers and Weatherford attended the gathering on May 7 at the Wynlakes home of Alumni Director Faith Byrd where they were recognized and awarded the scholarships. “I’m just very grateful to receive this scholarship,” said Weatherford, who will be studying nursing at TROY. “I have an older brother who is already in college, I will be starting my college journey in the fall, and I have a younger brother who will be a freshman after me, so I am so grateful to receive this

FOIA The cartoonist caught the FBI’s attention over a bizarre scheme involving Matt Gaetz, a CIA agent held captive in Iran, and a Florida fraudster. Matthew Petti | 6.1.2026 4:53 PM (Illustration: DAN ROSENSTRAUCH/TNS/Newscom/Rokas Tenys/Dreamstime) Most Americans knew the late Scott Adams for Dilbert , his beloved comic strip about an office worker and his dimwitted colleagues. Later in life, Adams became known as a kind of right-wing shock jockey . But the cartoonist caught the FBI's attention for something a little bit different: the sex crimes investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R–Fl.) and a bizarre blackmail scheme that grew out of it. The FBI released its files on Adams last week, five months after his death, in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from Reason . The records include the heavily redacted results of a background check and a request to Twitter—the social media network later renamed X—to preserve Adams' account data, including his private messages. The investigation into Adams seems to have begun in the spring of 2021, when he was entangled in the Gaetz scandal. On March 30, 2021, The New York Times reported that Gaetz was under federal investigation for having sex
