It's about time... to go.

Hate groups get a pass on here, moderation is now about "seeing both sides" and horrific is just another word fed into the algorithm.

Twitter's sign is now a reflection of the leader; a transient sound just to fill space.

Er..

@RBReich Abolish the for-profit model of healthcare providers. Create regulated channels for pharma research and subsidized studies, to include after care! Make corporate self-investment (wage growth, infrastructure improvement, job education) tax deductible! And PROSECUTE CHEATING

@harryjsisson Seems to me like a convenient way to line up investigations for fraud, wrongful arrests and bribery. The internal affairs guys better not be sleeping on this.

@katiehannigan Isn't it obvious? They specialize in shoddy, non-union writers. Flipping scabs.

[Katie Hannigan @katiehannigan]

the writers strike is for fictional tv, so why is fox still on?

One reminder for last night: when Trump’s audience was giggling and clapping as he joked about sexual assault and threw out his various races tropes, it’s proof that Trump’s real superpower with his base is that he allows them to be their very worst selves without guilt or shame.

@YouGovAmerica You see what I'm seeing with Twitter?

Mannnnn, that's what broken looks like. EM just playing both sides, while the independents side-eye the whole thing.

[O⁠_⁠o @Duggeek]

@jimrosecircus1 Twitter is broken.

I'm sticking around just to see you, JRC!

Y'all make it worthwhile, for now.

[O⁠_⁠o @Duggeek]

@sull @mattwinn Probably to avoid comparisons with historical fact, like the exploitation of mosaic to build a multi-billion browser business on publicly available code.

I'm in total agreement with you here, the question needs to be asked.

[O⁠_⁠o @Duggeek]

@mattwinn Why should I trust your platform; both with my personal identity and keeping said identity from those that would exploit it?

How do I know it will stick around for my lifetime?

Does it have any advantages over an incumbent digital footprint?

What makes super link worth it?

@NoelFritsch @FirstHealth This thread is a wonderful introduction on how to spot a narcissist and identify when a situation is viewed through a personal lens (in this case, his ego)

He lobs attacks at anyone trying to reason, all to avoid the truth; his own child suffers for his toxic personal beliefs

[O⁠_⁠o @Duggeek]

@stkirsch This really proves...

That you, sir, are a sanctimonious prick and should be minding your own business. Keep your sociopathic manipulation to yourself please, even if you have obscene amounts of disposable cash. (Seems you're only willing to donate when it's a buy for your ego)

[O⁠_⁠o @Duggeek]

@Jim_Jordan Every seen so many record profit numbers across the board? Hmm?

Coincidence? No.

[O⁠_⁠o @Duggeek]

@SpeakerMcCarthy Translation: Rather than acknowledge that high profit margins are the culprit of a runaway consumer index, Kev is reframing the conversation, pretending that billionaires taking in record profits and faced with paying their fair share of taxes have no choice but to charge us more

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Green is now calling for Antifa to be designated as a "domestic terrorist organization."

Republicans love to believe that Antifa is some violent organization being run by Democrats, but that's not true. Here are the FACTS:
1) Antifa is a decentralized world-wide political movement that consists of hundreds of autonomous groups. It's not an organization run by any one person. It's not an organization that has any set of rules, bylaws, or even beliefs.
2) Antifa simply stands for Anti-fascism, and anyone who identifies as Antifa is simply saying "I stand against fascism." One individual may simply tweet against fascist leaders like Trump or DeSantis. Another individual might break windows and start fights with neo-nazis. Just like some Republicans are insurrectionists, and others are not, you can't lump all Antifa into one negative group.
3) The vast majority of those who cause violence in the name of being anti-fascist are anarchists and communists. Very few identify as being a Democrat.
4) No Democrats in office endorse or support any violence committed by someone who claims to be Antifa. We do support some of the peaceful protests by individuals who claim to be Antifa though.

It's impossible to designate Antifa as a "domestic terrorists organization" because there is no general Antifa organization. This is just an attempt by Republicans to fearmonger yet again.

[O⁠_⁠o @Duggeek]

Without a doubt, yes.

Any guesses what happened around that time?

And these added "notes" on tweets were immediately weaponized, with a clunky interface that complicates efforts to effectively review them.
Hmmm....

I'm noticing a sharp increase in white supremacist and antisemitic posts on this platform in the past 3-4 months.

Anybody else noticing that?

It’s not okay to make fun of Majorie Greene for having three toes but it’s okay to make fun of her for being a piece of shit.

@ResisterSis20 Putting quotes doesn't make the word bad, nor does it mark villainy upon the idea, but rather informs us of the author's point of view about the idea.

Without the quotes, it would still be true. The path that starts with "why?" will always pass through the valley of "why God?"
