Another grim indicator of where things stand — people always send me clips of Prince stuff ("I saw him play this guitar solo from the Rock & Roll hall of fame!") but the latest was a former coworker who's still on Twitter/X, and the video they sent was posted by an unabashed white supremacist.

This is a good person, totally decent. Just also totally unaware that their media diet (and thus their brain) has been completely cooked to where they're amplifying media by fucking Nazis and passing it along as if that's normal. Sometimes I despair about how we return from this.

I was trying to explain — this is a person who would have been banned back when the site still had a Trust & Safety team. If you scroll down, they're talking about the mental ability of different racial groups, plainly. An entire generation coming up not realizing we used to be able to stop this.

I will never forgive the founders and significant shareholders of Twitter for letting this happen. Selling it to a Nazi oligarch was entirely avoidable. I hope they all sleep poorly on their beds made of money.

I don't know man. I really can't blame them. Yes, while the bird site is now almost exclusively geared towards Nazis, misogynist, purveyors of child porn and fascist propaganda. The shareholders were able to upgrade their yachts. So it's fine right? ***Sarcasm if not obvious*** F them all
