PROTIP -

If the Firehose is too much, you can unpin it.

If a hashtag, word or phrase is annoying you, filter it.

If a person is annoying you, block them.

If you don't want to block them, mute them.

If you only want your friends to see your posts in feeds, set that as your default post privacy setting in your settings/preferences.

The tools are available for you to combine in your own way and make COSO your unique experience.

Wow! I heard that Musk gave people even more reason to vote against Republicans:

He endorsed them for Congress!!

We must believe these Republicans. If they win, they'll try everything possible to get their greedy hands on SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE. That would make many of our proud SENIORS HOMELESS & WITHOUT CARE!

Reminder of what GOP is against:

-Minimum wage
-Strengthening gun safety laws
-Taxing the wealthiest firms and the super-rich
-Guaranteeing freedom and equality for women
-Ending the dark money in campaigns
-Providing Medicare for all
-Raising frozen Social Security benefits
-Restoring voter rights
-Funding childcare & sick leave
-Fighting climate w renewable energy
-Reducing skyrocketing drug prices and increasing funding to prosecute corporate crooks.

All of those are opposed by the GOP.

Key point: Musk needs China, as the largest manufacturer of Tesla, and a very important market.

In return, China’s pressing him enormously to control Twit according their demands. And yes, that’s anti-America, anti democracy.

"The Republicans are pretty simple, actually, and pretty straightforward. They say, 'I want you to be very miserable. And I want you to be very angry. And I want you to vote for us, and we'll make it worse, but we'll blame them.'" ─Bill Clinton

Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE are among the biggest abusers of Twitter for propaganda, with one of the highest takedown rates of state-backed influence operations. FBI is pursuing a case against Saudi nationals who infiltrated Twitter’s HQ in San Francisco to send private information, potentially about dissidents, to members of the Royal Family.

"I'm really pleased our sales teams have gotten much better at pricing than ever in the history of our company. We are not going to be giving this pricing back. Now, it is not a matter of 'Can we take price increases?' Now, it is about, 'How much of a price increase are you going to take?'" - McGarry, CEO, PPG
