#Politics Rube is as rube does ... From #NBCNews: Thousands scammed by #Trump Bucks fraudulent scheme.
"... [T]he sellers have tapped an audience that believes Trump’s ouster was part of a great conspiracy and that by investing in the Trump Rebate Banking System, or TRB for short, Trump will reward their loyalty by making them rich."
#Politics During last night's #DeSaster, Ron #DeSantis lied when he said no books were banned in Florida.
#FloridaToday found last week that 32 books are banned in Brevard County Schools, with another 296 under review for removal.
#Politics I've uploaded to YouTube the audio of last night's #DeSaster, i.e. the #DeSantis #Musk event on #Twitter Spaces. This way, you don't have to give Elon clicks.
It begins with the 4 1/2 minutes of audio problems on Elon's account, then it switches to David Sacks' account. If you want to skip the glitches, go to the 4:30 mark, which is indexed in the description.
Twitter’s Spaces product was not necessarily built to host events with hundreds of thousands of listeners. Most other Spaces have — at most — several hundred listeners at a time. Spaces was described as a “prototype” and “janky” tool by a former Twitter employee familiar with its development.
“Spaces was largely a prototype, not a finished product,” the former employee told CNN. “It’s a beta test that never ended.”
https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/24/tech/twitter-desantis-meltdown/index.html
"More than 500,000 Twitter users joined the event, which was ultimately ended and then restarted, delaying DeSantis’ announcement by nearly half an hour. When the event was relaunched using Sacks’ account, only around 250,000 users ultimately listened in."

#Politics Lots of people reporting on Twitter it's crashed for them too.
