The amount of nazi propaganda on twitter now is so pervasive, and the disturbing thing about it is that because it’s a successful engagement strategy on the platform you can see its influence either through people responding and therefore spreading it or echoing it for faves without realizing it

Trump gives GOP moderates ‘very helpful’ breathing room on abortionthehill.com Former President Trump is giving moderate GOP lawmakers some breathing room on the explosive issue of abortion, treading unusually carefully on a topic Democrats are trying to make a political…

Literally last week, Trump met with a group that calls abortion "child sacrifice" to express his support for their work. Now, The Hill is suggesting that ole crafty Don, king of smart messaging, is "giving moderates breathing room" on abortion. thehill.com/homenews/472...

this is actually a point I make a lot when people say "well he didn't do anything for the MAGA folks, why do they stick with him" he did a lot! he was a complete asshole to people they hate! they could not be happier! they don't want policy, they want cruelty

for the maga crowd, trump being primarily motivated by spite is the coolest thing about him

one of the things it's important to remember about Trump is how driven by spite he is he will do this - and much, much worse - for no reason other than Fuck You, Joe, How Dare You Beat Me That One Time what happens to the people affected is entirely by the point, he could not care less

Yeah, this seems worth avoiding.

I maintain that anyone who is able to put together a political coalition that can actually solve this problem will be treated as a deity "yes, I murdered a puppy, but I also fixed spam calls" "let us re-elect you with 95% of the vote"

Not to mention that even the banking industry is now like ok have an offline meeting with your family and decide what your codewords are for the inevitable deepfake wire transfer phone call - which is absolutely insane

Biden declaring war on car warranty, cable, and medicare scammers would probably give him a nice boost in the polls.

I don’t have the bandwidth or energy to take it up with a couple of common responses like “nobody really needs voice phone anymore” except to ask those commenters to gratefully evaluate the types of fortunate lives they find themselves in where this can be true. it’s not a universal experience.

I am once again asking you to consider that an entire information ecosystem established as the primary form of communication over a hundred years and allegedly regulated by the federal government was destroyed by scammers virtually overnight and we just don’t, like, ever talk about it

Sick of scams? Stop answering your phone.www.washingtonpost.com Phone scams are still hugely popular — and they depend entirely on people curious enough to answer.

The first rule of avoiding scam calls is to never answer unknown numbers, and even some known ones. Curious? Bored? Worried it’s an emergency? Wait the extra minute it takes for the call to go to voice mail, then decide if it’s legitimate.

Who's hating on Jersey? I spent all my summers growing up at the Jersey Shore, they have some of the best produce in the country (Jersey tomatoes and blueberries are the goats), and have produced Bruce Springsteen, Frank Sinatra, and Whitney Houston. Jersey Strong.

Ah yes New Jersey. What a shithole. Armpit of America. Just an absolute trash state.

GRU: lazily pasting googled memes into twitter to collect a paycheck West: people in white lab coats frantically scrawling shitpost equations on a board; in the next room three people with goggles distil poasts into flasks. Each having worked 25 hours straight now; none on more than a PhD stipend

GRU is just bachelors' level shitposting. Low grade stuff. Amateurs. Desperately plagiarizing the greatest hits of the PhD shitposters from the great institutions in the West.

If your leftism isn't fundamentally centered on the idea of human dignity and freedom as universal and immutable values of everyone, frankly, what is the fucking point of your philosophy.

Cracked me up: The cop who pulled him over didn't know who he was. “He didn’t recognize him or his name,” added an insider. A second source adds, “Justin said under his breath, ‘This is going to ruin the tour.’ The cop replied, ‘What tour?’ Justin said, ‘The world tour.'”

This subhed is savage, but the cattiness is perhaps undermined by the decision to send it out as a push alert.
