@AshaRangappa_ Well, @patriottakes turned my freakin' timeline WAYYY to the right because right-wing accounts are being promoted like crazy. Thanks to @elonmusk, no doubt.
I don't follow these, but non-followed accounts seem to be half my stream. Almost all right-wing unhinged nonsense.
@elchefe@IanColdwater This is awesome. And it's actually how I discover my favorite co-workers and how I can see which folks are NOT going to make it. "How do you react to sucking at something?" Great engineers WANT to get better and work hard to get there. They know how to learn from failure.
Haven't logged into Twitter in forever, but it looks like @ggreenwald is still full of garbage ideas in the service of both-sidesism.
Trump is a weirdo - an outlier - a true criminal whose actions need to be looked at holistically across decades. No comparison applies here.
The mere mention by Trump that he thought Hillary should be prosecuted caused shrieks of indignation - fascism!! abuse of the justice system!! - by the very same people who have spent the last year cheering every Trump indictment by Dem prosecutors/Biden-DOJ and demanding more:
Seriously... "if we lose, we'll blow up the world"... what stronger evidence is there that the existing government of Russia needs to be reformed or dismantled?
Posts like this are why Russia must lose. Not by conflict with another state, but by internal collapse. And "normie" counties need to help any responsible parties from the countries that emerge from the old USSR to control and contain their conventional and nuclear arsenals.
Backward political good-timers in Davos reiterated: โTo achieve peace, Russia must loseโ. None of them gets it that a nuclear powerโs loss of a conventional war can lead to a nuclear one. Nuclear powers havenโt been defeated in major conflicts crucial for their destiny
@JuliaDavisNews โWe will achieve our victory and Ukraineโs Culture Minister who wants to cancel Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, we will hang him on Khreshchatyk [Kyivโs main street]โ

@SeattleBlocked@VP@GovInslee@WAGOP@obama Online trolls like yourself can't help Russia. Putin made a huge error - one so severe that it may lead to Russia's collapse. A safe position might include being against ALL mistreatment of soldiers and civilians, but backing aggressors in conflict puts you squarely in the wrong.
@SeattleBlocked@VP@GovInslee@WAGOP Yup. It's 2022. The world has changed. Even the 1990's were 30 years ago. Russia is attacking civilian infrastructure and committing war crimes. And yes, it would have been useful to hold Bush accountable for US war crimes. But it's 2022 and the world has changed.
@JetboyMT@SedationZone@MedvedevRussiaE Actually, Ukraine IS firing into Russia, hitting airbases, and good for them. No war is consequence-free. Russia must suffer continued consequences for its war of aggression against a neighboring country. No visas. No trade. No travel. More sanctions.
@SeattleBlocked@VP@GovInslee@WAGOP Russia is a terrorist state. Putin has to suppress his own population in order to maintain control. There is a centralized disinformation system. Pretty sure you're a fascist-friendly Putin supporter, so good luck to you.
Meanwhile, the world suffers b/c of Putin's mistakes.
I have now met many of my neighbors by them coming outside and more or less all having the same reaction of "oh shit, fuck this" and walking back inside

@JuddLegum Elon can probably read everyone's DM's (which we can't see). Would not consider Twitter a secure or stable platform for anything remotely sensitive or important. I think we'll all eventually discover Twitter is disposable.
Agree. Elon has upset the status quo so severely that the days of "big" social media platforms might be "disrupted". Bummer for social media employees and stockholders, possibly.
There are hard problems still to solve - how do we curate our online presence from birth to death?
The bright side to the ineptitude of Elon running
@twitter. His irrational, bonkers and autocratic means to run the company has forced everyone to rethink social media and not to put all their eggs in one basket. There are many new and rising stars that can fill the void. #QElon
