Liberal progressive human. I think I've had enough of Twitter...
Just for those who may be a little confused: An abortion after birth is called a school shooting.

The deadbird site is now a disinformation machine. It has been reconfigured to get "creators" to push vile -- but clickbait on steroids -- lies that satisfy, enrage, and otherwise push people's emotional buttons.

Some "creators" get paid now, and have a huge incentive to make their disinformation even more clickbait-driven. Hamsters on a wheel that spits out money.

If journalists had an ounce of pride they'd leave.

The Israel-Hamas War Is Drowning X in Disinformation

People who have turned to X for breaking news about the Israel-Hamas conflict are being hit with old videos, fake photos, and video game footage at a level researchers have never seen.

This isn't complicated, Radical Extremists of any kind are bad, period.

My father gave me financial advice when I was young. He summed it up by saying "Work and save until your bank balance looks like a phone number."

Dad would be so proud of me. Today, my bank balance hit $4.11.

"For more than a decade, Twitter was an absolutely key resource for understanding major world events and disasters in real time. ...

As numerous information specialists have pointed out in recent days, the platform now offers a forest of disinformation so dense that penetrating it has become extremely difficult."

~Marina Hyde

As long as we construct the world such that super-rich men run things with impunity, this is what we'll get.

Look at the horror of the Israel-Hamas war, then at Elon Musk’s X site. It’s clear he’s not fit to run it

He took Twitter, sacked staff and reduced its checks and standards. Now, in this time of crisis, it’s clear why that matters, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

The Guardian
Trump is getting worse, more dangerous, more bent on inciting violence. This is not a presidential candidate; this is a criminal defendant seeking to save his own skin no matter how much damage it causes. The media must stop pretending this is in any way a normal presidential horse race.
Trump’s goal is clear: Delay the trials until after the election, pull off an upset, then use the power of the White House to shut down the prosecutions or even pardon himself. We the voters must do our part to keep him from power.

Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed.

Dear Republicans,

We can't believe this needs to be said...But slavery did not 'benefit' Black Americans and the Holocaust did not did not help make Jews 'useful,' whatever that means.

Despicable.
