    I mean did Usher, Beyonce or Taylor Swift start up an illegal lottery for government kickbacks?

    I’m not sure but I don’t think they started Super PACs either.

    The entire post of yours is dishonest but the Usher thing is especially stupid as well. Usher endorsed Kamala, not the other way around 🤡 .

    I also like the absurd amount of permissions it requires. Meta couldn’t let their guard down for a moment.

    To clarify, I mean Meta couldn’t be a little less data hungry in order to take marketshare from Twitter. They instantly needed access to absolutely everything at the start.

    I deleted Twitter as soon as Space Karen took over.

    However, my friends and so many people I follow on other platforms still link their Twitter profiles. For some there needs to be something solid to make a real and consistent migration. I was overly hopeful that Threads (yes, another evil) would have buried Twitter.


  • I used to listen to it religiously. He had a few fucked up views but in a long form podcast it used to get washed out. Like his universal basic income views and then him platforming Stefan something … (like an incel cult leader). In the latter case he thought it was better to bring someone on with opposing views and then see them get flushed out over time and in that case, you see it exposed.

    I think what Joe didn’t anticipate was that his desire to be a contrarian and find the viewpoints away from the mainstream, so much so, that it did him a disservice. He doesn’t have the mental defenses up to put up with the propaganda he was inflicted upon. He became the ‘Joe Rogan questions everything’ guy to ‘Joe Rogan believes anything’ guy.

    I had it when he became fully antivax and wishes he would just go away now.
