X's new transparency feature has exposed many of the platform's influential MAGA personalities as being located outside the US.
This is similar to the trend exposed by @kdenkwrites.com in the UK, where foreign 'UK patriot' accounts are even fooling councillors.

Oops...The monetisation of "patriotism" by foreign groups is a major issue for most social media platforms: national.thelead.uk/p/reform-cou...
Grand opening, grand closing.
X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

Megyn Kelly’s comments on Epstein are really interesting. It’s an unfortunately common reaction & I think a lot of it links to the fetishisation of teen girls. It’s partly why ‘older’ victims find it so hard to be believed.

I don’t know anything about mushrooms, but he just found a whole new level of Bored Rich White Guy.
Over on X, the weird life extension guy just did a heroic dose of magic mushrooms (5g), and someone is live tweeting it for him.
Clearly someone misguided him along the way, though, because he seems to be under the impression he’s peaked after just one hour.
Bad news for you, buddy…
