Twitter is the gutter and sewer of human society. The less time you spend on it, the better your life is.

Well if Musk takes over twitter right wing activists can start creating hoaxes to fight the left wing hoaxes at least.

DARPA/CIA funded it to destabilize things like we say during the Arab Spring.

If so where was he ranked in the hardest working bracket?

Wasn't he a leftist that originally set out to just do some fair and accurate street reporting and got violently attacked at least once by protesting lefties and ended up being red pilled or did I dream that up?

this happens on both sides of the aisle as well. We just can't see what we want sometimes to believe for what it actually is.

I'm surprised that any sane adult uses twitter on a regular basis. It's nothing but a den of lies, anger and fear porn

Frankly, stories like this pretty disturbing. With the mainstream media amplifying lies and deepfakes becoming prominent online, I fear our kids will grow up in a legitimately post-truth society

It use to be cool, in the early days when you could interact with celebrities and professional athletes. Before the dark times of leftist getting triggered and corporations pandering. Humans ruin everything they touch, especially the ones who vote Democrat.

Twitter flagged all his posts for being misinformation, right?

Wouldn't want to think they're playing favorites or anything.

That's the just of it. He went to cover the Antifa stuff in Portland and got attacked pretty good and ended up in the hospital, IIRC. Cops didn't help him as well I believe.

Is he red pilled? Probably. Even if he's not, he's doing actual reporting like a reporter should.

These people are truly deranged. Angry, hateful, empowered by Biden/Pelosi/Obama/etc. They get their attention from twitter likes and retweets and quotes and when that high runs out, they go out and shoot up a school or store or church.

The chances of any twitter user believing that post about Abbott triples with a Blue Check.

story gives heavy "and then everyone clapped" vibes

yet another reminder not to automatically believe everything you see on Twitter, ESPECIALLY things you want to be true

Honestly, the mainstream media and our White House spreads just as many lies as Twitter does.
Currently a happy listless vessel and deplorable. #FDEMS TRUMP 2024.

Sureeee it does! Keep lying to yourself, so you can feel a bit better about the idiocy and evil that you're apart of.

Then you shouldn't have any trouble providing examples...or is this just a drive-by comment?

Agreed, but those days ended in 2016. It's been a joke since then

Twitter has ALWAYS been trash, like all of "social" media.
"The Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution was never designed to restrain the people. It was designed to restrain the government."

Twitter is the electronic version of what slambooks were back in the day. Basically it's a tool for other tools to abuse.

Yep. Trump would still be POTUS if he wasn't insistent on swimming in the sewer.
