Hey all. Crazy couple days on the birdsite. Writing a piece called “Tankie Attack!” because I got trolled by both Jimmy Dore and Matt Taibbi. 😂

I continue to feel guilty with every tweet for putting a few bucks in Elmo’s pocket but I still think it’s worth it to be able to confront these propagandists directly and inject some reality into the distortion field.

As promised, I wrote about the tankie attack on Twitter the last couple of days. I’m not going to pretend I didn’t enjoy it.

I repeat, if you don’t need to be on Twitter you should abandon it. It’s a neo-Nazi shithole, a battlefield, not “social media.”

@jimstewartson I remember when JD was a thing and I always felt kind of bad that as a liberal I just couldn't see the appeal. haha seems my instincts were on the money for once.
@jimstewartson I just subscribed because I appreciate your work more than you know. Thanks Jim!
@jimstewartson you are injecting nothing, you are simply amplifying their reach, you do their work for them
@LadyT Pardon me but you have no idea what you are talking about. Thanks for playing.
@jimstewartson keep being played by Elon
@LadyT FYI, making accusations and assertions for which you have no basis to strangers is not a winning strategy. Maybe look into treating people with respect and you’ll get some back.
@LadyT @jimstewartson
Your interests don't lie in politics. Until news sources abandon Twitter, there will be important information to be amplified there. Twitter is likely to crash and burn on its own, regardless of white knights injecting sanity in the proceedings.
@jimstewartson Stop giving these assholes oxygen. Don't be part of the problem.
