I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.
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.

poor Taiwan though like gradual economic domination and integration while not looking for trouble isn't *great* but there's truly no up side to having that uneasy peace disturbed just because foreign politicians wanna prove their anti-China cred and fan the flames of geopolitical strife

Average Linux controversy: We switched the default GUI package repository, but you can switch it back if you want.

Average Windows controversy: We let the robots write code and now they're installing viruses. Also the robots are racist now.

Today: Let's heed what Saudi theocrats have to say on transgender rights
Trump: "A lot of the Saudis are sitting here saying, 'What the hell is he talking about? Transitioning?' They don't do a lot of transitioning. They're saying, 'What do you mean women are playing against men? That doesn't happen does it?" Yeah it does. These people are crazy."

I feel like we need another wacky news story. Like the 30-50 feral hogs, stuck boat, that time they accidentally showed Final Fantasy themed pornography in the Italian parliament. Things of that nature. It’s been too long.

In normaler times, this is front page, above the fold, all caps behavior by an American president
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Gavin Newsom satiates his dark urges in a normal and wholesome way (philandering with ADULTS, hunting CONSENTING homeless people for sport at the Getty compound, and alcoholism). it's not that hard to live your values.

related but my 100% serious take is the next John wick movie should be set in hell and they shouldn’t explain anything
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Just told my 10yo daughter about #ChuckSchumer. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Chuckanda forever"—which is the sort of pop culture cross-over I can celebrate.

Nancy Pelosi was a groundbreaking Speaker, but she was too focused on getting Democrats to respect the will of their voters.

I’ve long thought Trump is good at picking fights that benefit him politically but the fact he’s fighting right now to starve Americans is making me reassess

Trump defeated the establishments of both parties to become president twice, break most civic and legal norms of import, end-run the Constitution's safeguards against Trump-like figures, survive numerous career-ending scandals, and now single-handedly holds a party together that would have spent
Trump has gotten huge numbers of infrequent voters to the polls, twice. He's deeply unpopular but has mobilized a large, unprecedented coalition of Americans motivated by some combination of ignorance, avarice, and cruelty. It is hard to describe what he has as something other than charisma
His charisma is fundamentally incompatible with me (and likely many of the people on Bluesky) but it’s kind of insane to say it doesn’t exist
