Meanwhile in Missouri, Republicans set a pile of books on fire with flamethrowers, screaming, “Let’s go Brandon!”

Flamethrowers.

Jack Dorsey enthusiastically co-signed the deal that betrayed 200 million Twitter users and handed their accounts over to a fucking right wing egomaniacal billionaire. You’ll have to excuse me if I’m not eager to sign up for another one of this dude’s schemes.

Where the fuck did this weird idea come from that we should welcome Nazis into our midst and “debate” them?!

What’s wrong with people who think like this? These are NAZIS, goddammit.

Well now. It looks like Bluesky will have to deal with their Jack Dorsey issue sooner rather than later, after his recent history with promoting anti-vaccination crank RFK Jr. came to wider attention, because this isn’t just some harmless billionaire obsession, they’re literally killing people, bringing back diseases that were almost wiped out like measles.

Bluesky members are not happy and some are calling for Dorsey to be thrown off the Bluesky board.

Hey, no big deal amirite? Just the owner of Twitter praising an infamous Roman general who took over the government and murdered thousands of people. No biggie. All you media orgs, just carry on like nothing’s wrong. Cool.

It’s unreal how fast YouTube went from a few unobtrusive ads to a FUCKING NIGHTMARE HELLSCAPE OF INSANELY LONG ULTRA-INTRUSIVE ADS FOR SHITTY PRODUCTS.

It’s like they’re trying to punish us.

If something terrible happens to both the president and vice president of the US, the next person in the line of succession is a far right religious fanatic who thinks we need to return to those good old 18th century values.

Welp, on MSNBC just now, President Biden said outright that he won’t try to expand the Supreme Court.

Tim Cook is aware of the problems with right wing hate speech at XTwitter. On CBS Sunday Morning he was asked why Apple continues to advertise with Musk, and he said the antisemitism is “abhorrent” and “it’s something we constantly ask ourselves.”

Maybe it’s time to stop asking and start doing.

Twitter used to be a place where you could go when important news was breaking and find valid information.

Now it’s a shit pile of disinformation fed by terrible people and botnets, wildly out of control.

It’s not enough that they have the power to unilaterally strip away the rights of millions of people based on far right bullshit ideology, they want us to LIKE it.

I wish more articles about Substack would note that it’s not just about the Nazis; Substack has also sought out and monetized some of the worst people in the right wing’s anti-LGBTQ hate movement, and helped them spread their poison much more effectively.

It’s probably a good idea to repost this incredibly prophetic cartoon from 2014 at regular intervals because every day I see people who still haven’t fully imbibed its message. Apologies if it’s old hat to you.

The thing about Twitter is that a lot of people let it become part of their lives. Myself included. And to have it degraded and snatched away by a reprehensible shit head like Elon Musk… well, it hurts. Pretty weird to feel grief about a social media site, but a lot of us do.

The fact that every mainstream news site is now locked behind a paywall is a real boon for the spread of misinformation, because very few right wing sites have paywalls — which means their disinfo and propaganda can spread much more easily. Paywalls are a slow motion disaster.

One of the first issues I had with Mastodon: the people who want you to put warnings on posts about politics.

No, sorry, I’m not going to do that, ever. If you want to ignore what’s going on in America right now, that’s your responsibility, not mine.

A fabulous new MAGA conspiracy theory I just learned about: lead paint was banned because it “blocks frequencies” and stops the deep state from spying on us through our walls.

So they want to bring back lead paint now.
