Infinitely more?

I've asked Victor a billion times to stop exaggerating.


by Victor

Russia and Putin are infinitely more moral than the USA

Yeah, and killers kill way less in prison, too. Doesn't mean they're infinitey more moral than the rest of us.


Putin is so moral that his enemies just realize they are wrong and throw themselves out of windows.


That’s what I keep hoping happens with my posts


As a child.....

Sarsour has been a lawful permanent resident in the U.S. for more than 30 years. He is Palestinian and was born in the West Bank, his lawyers told The Associated Press. They added that Sarsour’s wife and four adult children are all U.S. citizens.

Sarsour’s attorneys told the AP that the U.S. government has known about Sarsour’s conviction as a child by Israeli military courts since he arrived in the U.S. in 1993.


It's really mind-boggling the sheer volume of bad things trump is responsible for on a daily basis. It's impossible to keep up with.


The title of this article--"Failed ‘F*ckboy Island’ Contestant Launches Senate Bid"--really captures where we are as a country and a culture right now.

Yeah, I like my senators to be successful F*ckboy Island Contestants.


There's a FEMA official that is doubling down on claiming he was teleported to a waffle house.

This makes me so happy.


by Gorgonian

There are certainly far worse places to be teleported to. Like Mongo/Elway's freshly painted bedroom (to take a perfectly random example.)


What stands out the most to me is that its all politics. There is nothing being pushed on twitter anymore that isn't slanted and most of it is hard core leaning deeply right wing

Why anyone would waste even 30 seconds on X (formerly Twitter)? I think I'd prefer watching a cat video myself.

what stands out to me is that 90% of those accounts are pro-Israeli

This is going to sound like a bad joke, but I'm being serious: Most of those are probably IDF-sponsored and/or created bots and shills.

I think only coordi spends lots of time on X (formerly Twitter). But he's at work multi-tasking so it's not exactly the same thing.

Yeah, working in-office is 95% of the reason I ever spend time on this forum.


After some direct confrontations with Nikita it seems that Twitter has taken some feedback and improved feeds. I get much less political stuff and mostly things I actually care about.

BUT, considering how perpetually online this entire administration is, its been a useful tool to understand the administration and the MAGA base.

Not sure how much I've complained about using twitter vs complaining how ******ed MAGA is, which isn't the same thing as complaining about using twitter.

What stands out the most to me is that I didn't know who a lot of these people were, including Eric Daugherty, probably because I spend no time on X. Why did he and that Gunther guy get so much more engagement than all the other MAGA grifters?

Thankfully I have only heard of a handful of them. And for all I know you are making up the names Eric Daughtery and "that Gunther guy." That's how little I care about "influencers" or whatever you would call these hacks (except golf influencers on YouTube, they rule)

I love cat videos.

I love cat videos.

I do as well. I chose a poor example to make my point.

A few months ago it started feeding me racist tweets, despite clicking not interested in this on them I kept getting them for a while. Thankfully they stopped. While I may not have been thrilled with the previous Twitter regime what is going on these days is extremely ****ed up.

I definitely am not making them up. They were in the graphic. If someone made them up, it was the creator of the graphic, not me. I don't follow any political accounts on any platform.

I didn't actually mean you might be making them up. I'm just saying you could put a real list of the top 30 X posters next to a list of fake names and besides a few obvious ones (like Musk) I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.
