I would say it's impossible to justify spending 12-15 hours on Twitter and choosing to call yourself "catturd"

The last 3 or 4 weeks the algorithm has been so bad on X - it's hard to justify putting 12-15 hours a day on here and busting your ass when you just get throttled to hell and back for no reason.

important note from libcrusher:

Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

It’s funny when someone has a weird term for grandparents and expects you to know what the hell they’re talking about. “You going to see your nee-naw and your glee-bo over the holidays” are you gonna make some god damned sense before thanksgiving

I am going to solve the "have young Republicans always been like this" discourse in one sentence: While it has long been possible to correctly identify their racism, either because you were politically educated or racially minoritized, they are now racist in a way that even white liberals can tell.

The funniest part of all the billionaires are building bunker stories is the part where they’re sure the class hierarchy will survive the apocalypse.

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried?

The debate is ramping up about what happens if - or when - computer intelligence overtakes humans

yeah 15-20 years ago they didn't have group chats so they didn't write stuff like that down, they'd just say it out loud to eachother at parties, usually without a paper trail

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

I think what we’re all struggling with today is that yes they were always racist but in a slightly different form. It’s like how Garfield used to look different but was still Garfield

Also, no deep thought as to the type/quality of bodyguard who will agree to fight and die defending your life and wear an explosive neck collar.

This is the logical conclusion of technical fixes for political problems.

The thing about whether or not were "they" always "like this" is who cares? They are definitely Nazis now, and all but a vanishingly small minority of the more polite non-nazis from times past have bent the knee for Trump.

The reason reporters are talking about the Nuzzi stuff so much, besides gawking at a car crash, is that there's a handful of prestige jobs like that left, and we've all been passed over and know other reporters who've been passed over for them in favor of well-networked barnacles.

To the extent that this wasn't just people code switching depending on who they're with, you got played, Amanda. The history of the last 20-30 years is Democrats and centrists wantot to believe that conservatives are decent people, and the conservatives playing on that belief.

It must suck to honestly believe that this is the Year Zero of being able to get away with saying slurs and then get fired because you showed up in a Politico article saying slurs.
