Bruised Trumpsteen

Every social media platform seems to be competing to become the right wing conspiracy theorists' app of choice. There's money to be made in burning civilisation to the ground don'tchaknow. I only wish journalists would stop reporting what gets posted on X and stop linking to threads on X.

Oh, god, same here. It’s embarrassing for journalism. Four years at Columbia and $200,000 in student loan debt, all just for, “OMG! Did you see this SICK BURN by that one political operative about another?!?”

I do appreciate when some media outlets refuse to refer to it as "X" and instead say "the app formerly known as Twitter".

"West, who now goes by the name Ye, posted on Twitter, now known as X..."

It is getting crappy now since fewer people are posting.

On the up-side, LinkedIn is loosening up as a result!

I'll just put this here:

According to CNN (see accurate critiques in the media source thread) Elon Musk shut down a network of satellites to disrupt a Ukrainian air attack on Russia.

How 2020s does it get?

Sure.. let a fragile, increasingly erratic drug addict have a near monopoly on satellite internet service.. nothing could possibly go wrong.

Is anyone surprised that cretin is up Putin's ass?

I have definitely been getting horrible shit suggested "for me" like Laura Loomer and other right wing garbage.
Not sure how my interests in things like bird watching, bike lanes, and weird-ass music brought me there, but OK, I guess.
Based on the ads I see, Cheech & Chong's gummy business is keeping the whole thing afloat.
I hope it dies soon. It has gotten much, much worse (less interesting and funny) in the past year or so.
