Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Couldn’t read the ‘wild pregnancy’ piece. I’ll try again another time but it is so gut wrenching. Anyone who influences a pregnant woman’s decision in that direction is an evil muthafucka.

The coroner is deluded if they can’t see this as being influenced by adherence to a broader ideology.

A Queensland coroner has found two police officers who were killed by extremists were "adequately equipped" yet "no match for an ambush", as he made recommendations to prevent another tragedy.

As Cyclone Fina bears down on Darwin I’m reminded that my paternal grandfather and his brother were caught up in Cyclone Tracey in ‘74. They were stuck in their caravan, which had been blown on its side, trapping them for three days.

A woman was smoking beside my car, very in her own world. I had to go right by her to get in so I said, “sorry, you look so peaceful I didn’t want to disturb...” She snapped, “I can’t hear you with my headphones on and if I wanted to engage I would.”
May she never have another moment’s peace.

Oh so Trump is about to move back to New York and wants to build all the new housing. I see what’s going on here.
Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."
