I support Ukraine. I also find the trending social media campaign to be inauthentic and contrived.
Yes, I know, the Russian bots.
Still, the pro-ukraine social media is not very persuasive.
A bullet is shot out of a cannon and turns into an Olympic swimmer.
Very cool video editing.
Ok mastodonians, take a break from your workday and consider what happens when journalists stab and betray each other while playing an online version of diplomacy.
A major British news org publishes an item where a white man fantasizes about a violent sexual assault against Megan Markle.
I'm not posting that offensive tripe on here.
But I will post this response, which is also infuriating, where a different white man has the audacity to suggest Megan is not black, (as if that delegtimizes her grievances.)
White men been deciding racial labels for whatever way benefits them for way too long fam.
Y'all are chasing working artists away from this place by harping on how "sad" and "pathetic" it is for them to hope for a large follower count here.
It's not about attention. It's about their bottom line. More followers means more commissions, more customers in their online shops, more direct exposure to people with hiring power. It's honestly really cruel to keep acting like they want adulation when really they just want to pay rent.
They have ample reason to mourn what they built.
If Musk "steps down" as Twitter CEO, per his latest bogus "poll", some things to remember:
1) He'll still be in control. The owner sets the policy the CEO carries out. The owner decides in the end.
2) He lies incessantly. Nothing he says can be trusted, ever.
3) Big Journalism will breathlessly cover the charade as if it meant something, and will continue to support a man who loathes honest reporting and has contempt for genuine freedom of expression.
