"all politicians lie" Yes, but the important difference is a pol will lie about what they're going to do. A Conservative lies about what they've DONE, even when there's overwhelming evidence. Unfixed problems get claimed as fixed. This is lethal during a pandemic #Elxn44

Wow incredible stuff! Can’t wait to see what you guys cook up In the mean time, I have to ask a quick, quirky question. What would it take for a large influencer to get a Rivian R2 in exchange for live-streaming the fiery (explosion) disposal of their current car (Tesla)?

Not even going to say his name but it’s fascinating how the most talented comedian of his half generation went from that to the most boring and embarrassing entertainer alive, and not through a greed of fame and stature, like Leno, but solely through personal grievance.

back in the day if u did a tv show called surf dracula you'd see that fool surfing every week in new adventures but in the streaming era the entire 1st season gotta be a long ass flashback to how he got the surfboard until you finally get to see him surf for 5 min in the finale

“Concentrated, hereditary populations” is a very sterilized term for what we commonly refer to as “families.”
In the Wall Street Journal, John Bolton says that the "long-term solution" in Gaza is ethnic cleansing

I don't think people realise the implication here. Unlike the terror bombing of German cities [still considered a war crime], the destruction of Gaza is perpetrated with precision weaponry, over a short span of time, against a wholly defenceless population with nowhere to go.
In just under two months, IDF bombs have destroyed a comparable percentage of buildings in northern Gaza as WW2 allied forces achieved in the space of two years of carpet bombing German cities

I'm worried about the US going towards a dictatorship policy where freedom of speech is outlawed (under Joe biden)

Kind of alarming that the leading candidate for the presidency is openly plotting to build a giant network of concentration camps and his deputy says essentially “if you think we’re kidding about this, you are very, very wrong”

Corrupt national leader trying to get out of legal trouble for crimes he definitely did empowers far right forces, undermining national unity and interests, even national security. Probably a lesson there.
It's hard to overstate how much of the disaster in Gaza is because Netanyahu backed himself into a corner with his far-right minority coalition in order to dodge corruption charges timesofisrael.com/liveblog_e…

Incredibly funny that they found it necessary to end every thread they post with this "Our user base is extremely succeptible to scams" xitter.cf/BoredApeYC/status/1721…

Funny how since "mr. No Bots" took over this shit-ass site, 99% of my notifications are "likes" of random old Tweets by extremely obvious porn bots.

For breaking news and still-unfolding events, it’s next to impossible to parse what info is genuine on Twitter now, all because a whiny billionaire allergic to media criticism and his legion of dipshits saw identity verification as a status symbol they needed for themselves

Oh my god. When Linda Yaccarino said that Visa was a “returning advertiser” she meant the company spent $10 on Twitter ads in the last 12 weeks. Not ten million. Not ten thousand. Ten dollars.

This site is busted, they're making next to nothing from their big advertisers. HBO dropped their spend from $28.3m (12 weeks before Musk's acquisition) to $23,500 in the last 12 week period, roughly a 99.91696% reduction in spend. mediamatters.org/twitter/lin…
