#twitter #xitter
Part of me worried that all the intellectuals and #leftleaning folks abandoning X would make it a dumber echo chamber. That's not true, #Elon did it that before or during the time we all left. Xeets have 3% the reach that a tweet used to get. Most of the algorithms are too busy pushing #righwing BS, so you are screaming into the void if you bother to try over there. The marketplace of ideas is rigged there. If this was a physical marketplace like amazon, this would be a monopoly. At this point xitter is just truthsocial with the illusion of choice and diversity. The first people you get recommended to follow if you aren't following anyone or open a new account is al right wing assholes. X is a propaganda machine and serves no real value to anyone outside of people who need the reach to sell items to survive.

I just happened to come across this. It seems that #SanFrancisco hasn't been a #progressive bastion for years. #SFBA

'Moderate' means #rightwing to me. He had alot of Republican support as well. What's this #GOP group the #BrionesSoceity? They seem to be anti-homeless people, and for '#market-based solutions to housing' (Market-based anything is the last thing the public needs in the #UK, the U.S. or anywhere else. 'Market-based is the problem).

They also believe in #schoolvouchers (believes in reallocating #SFUSD's budget to fund vouchers), #charterschools, so-called 'school choice', nothing about support for public schools, 'civic education, not political indoctrination' sounds like #righwing dog-whistle shit to me.

Homeless: 'A hand-up, not a hand out ' sounds like the same old boomer nonsense from Tony Blair's era, reduce funding of #harmreduction programmes, lower threshold for #mentalhealth conservatorships (I suppose turn the homeless into #BritneySpears)

Doesn't sound good.

Also, #billionaires, #rightwingers and #farright scum have been trying to take cover cities known for a progressive reputation.

So, it all sounds sus IMHO.

America has a #BillionaireProblem.

See how they run: Lurie, the Democrat, gets support from S.F. Republican group

Republican political group San Francisco Briones Society has put moderate-leaning Democratic candidate Daniel Lurie as their first choice.

39) Things are not going well in the #RonDeSantis campaign.

One wonders whether his call for "throat slitting" directed at members of the Federal Government and invocations of the mystical and mythical Deep State were designed to make seem tougher than #Trump ?

General reaction across the #NewsMedia seems to be one of disgust. There doesn't seem to be major fist bumping going on within the #DeSantis faithful

DeSantis vows to ā€˜start slitting throats on day one’

Editor’s note: This story has been updated to reflect that Scott Brown is a former senator from Massachusetts. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Sunday said he would ā€œstart slitting throats on day oneā€ when it comes to taking on the ā€œdeep state.ā€ DeSantis made the remarks at a barbecue campaign event in Rye, N.H.,…

"A Drag Queen Christmas" shows have been taking place in San Antonio, TX for the past 8 years.

Doesn't that sound like fun? Fabulous queens singing and putting on skits for the entire family.

But since US Rep. Ronny "Candyman" Jackson has discovered this annual affair, he exclaims it's not for children--even if their parents shelled out money for tickets, and we're all doomed.

TBH I'd like to be notified of drag shows in my area, too. Sounds fun.

Elon Musk spooked me further yesterday by using his Twitter reach to recommend that people vote Republican, the party of wealth inequality. Does anybody else find that deeply sinister? #righWing #farRight #Republican Republican
