@Copacetic_vibe @LnzyHou @Gladari You hope they understand...
Understand is not a word that they understand.

@Charles_Hawtrey Hmmm, Melania won't be anywhere in his vicinity. He's obsessing about the size of Arnold Palmer's genitals, talking about Harvey Weinstein and schlong, and swaying to YMCA. Maybe he and buddy Lindsey Graham should talk about coming out. Could be an October surprise.😉

@Agatha @BillyBones Somehow until the subject was brought to national attention by a former president of the US, I had never even thought about the size of any golfer's genitals.

@Iveyjanette1 For a rabid homophobe Trump seems to be obsessed with male bodies. Remember he always goes on and on about big strong men out of central casting who are subservient to him. Rubio is short. His own body on a beach is so much more beautiful than Harris. (Bleh!)

This movie looks pertinent.

Interesting discussion on Germany relevant to current US #politics . After 1945 was the cult mindset broken, people realize what they had done, and expressed regret? No clear answers here, not any comforting assurance that MAGA will soon be gone.

@DavidSalo Meta AI is arguably worse because it appears without being invoked, just when you're attempting to search Facebook postings or friends. Though Google puts its AI in your face at least you can scroll down to see the actual search results.

By comparison, good old Alfred never comes unless you call him, and then seems much more useful. And humble.

@kendonnelly Looks like they're still doing it. Meanwhile in the US election officials in several states are doing everything possible to prevent people from voting. Removing ballot boxes and closing polling stations in minority neighborhoods. Purging voters from registration lists who have foreign sounding names. Etc.😥

@EvilBunny His earlier book was already pretty damning.

@ecksmc I do appreciate those intrepid souls who Wade into Xitter to extract nuggets of wisdom amidst the muck, and show them here.

Three other things about the algorithm, besides it giving you content intended to outrage you. It promotes anything Nazi. It promotes anything that gives money to Musk. It promotes anything from Musk.

@ecksmc I left a year or so ago and never looked.... Scratch that, I've looked back plenty. I miss Twitter a lot. Like I miss the Chinese restaurant and the ice cream shop that used to be across the street. And the little corner grocery down the block when I was a kid. But y'know, those things are gone.

Now there's a sushi place across the street and there's Xitter. Fine if you like sashimi and Nazism. I prefer the Korean sushi down the way and Counter Social.
