"Instead of writers and intellectuals coming up with ideas that filter into the culture, they are totally dominated by the conditions of discourse of social media." In other words: A troll's aim is to destroy the conversation, not make a point. A troll bought Twitter and destroyed the conversation.

For the same reason naive Dems and other so-called left of center people keep going on Fox News fascism. They generally think they can “reach” Republicans and change their minds 😂

One of two comments. It's not like I went spelunking. I guess the norm against tolerating open Jew-hatred is "Woke 1" now. Good to know!

@ryanlcooper.com Twitter was social media, Facebook is social networking. Social media without corporate algos or ads is about people deciding together what gets attention. While the web broadened free expression, it still mostly relied on mass media to spread the word about something online […]

make gopers join dems to pass common sense laws to end the foolishness we see now. Or just let the dem run roughshod over the nation like they let trump. 2/2

the only way out is through

Well right now the DSA folks have a pretty unserious Abolish Bedtime kind of platform. But honestly the idea of show trials for MAGAts is deeply silly. Trump will pardon them all anyway on the way out, just let it go.

destroy? no. just fix the algorithm to prioritize reality-fidelity and mental health and those incentives will re-train the self-loathing cruelty (hunger, profit motive) into world-saving emotional maturity (love, self-fulfillment) 💲 >💚 = 🔥🌎 the warfare is psychological SO is the solution

Not so smooth criminal

Why is he dressed like Whitney Houston in the “I’m Your Baby Tonight” video?

If a random person posted something like this unironically, I would hope their friends and family would reach out to get them the mental health assistance he clearly needs.

tell Ukraine to drone strike the servers. the Supreme Court says that's fine!

If you don't value freedom of speech, you are everlastingly my enemy.

Gonna be hard for him to do so from prison

After we burn down twitter, the flames will come for FaceBook next

Re Arrest all Jan.6 punks

Also Fox. Fox is worse.

Others must get satellites in orbit.

Way too much of the media narrative is actually set by personal beefs on twitter and thats insane

@emptywheel.bsky.social

The Muskrat isn't even the half of it. Peter Thiel bought J.D. Vance and turned him into a misogynist white Xtian nationalist, the Heritage Foundation sent Russell Vought, et al., to dismantle the government, and Fox, OAN, etc. nihilists fueled it.

They also must take down the Fox propaganda machine.

I'm completely off X but I keep my account because I'm in a weather prone area and they have the weather info...sometimes news media or my family will send me videos that link to x. You used to be able to play them but now if they have sound they force you to sign on to unmute it. Tricky but nope.

Yeah, I always felt that Twitter even at its best was a river of shit that you’d still occasionally find some gems floating in. Musk took care of that by taking away the gems.
