Undo tweets is basically the same scam as NFTs since, you know, screenshots exist.

I think it actually keeps them from going live for a set period of time so theoretically no one would actually see it

Yeah it's like the Gmail feature that lets you "undo" sending an email, they just buffer it for a certain amount of time, hopefully long enough to realise you hosed up

If you don't pay for Twitter Prime you can always delete the tweet but someone might see it and screenshot it before you do

That's useful for alcoholics who drunk tweet, but most of the time the difference between a hot take that is brilliant and a hot take that is career ending is only obvious after people react to it.

I choose to believe that while it avoids publishing them to your followers it still publishes them to everyone else.

Also absolutely LMAO at the idea that any of the galaxy brain idiots would be deterred from showing their whole rear end by a delay.

Also, name checking Janaille Monae like that is super hilarious since her first album is about an android trying to escape its corporate overseers.

This feature is actually already available to everyone for free. What you do is, you write the tweet, but then instead of pressing the "Tweet" button, you don't do that. You go and do something else for five minutes, then you come back and reread the tweet and simply choose not to post it.

Not to accuse Glenn Greenwald of being a fascist (he is) but it's mystifying to me that more fascists don't realize how quickly they could conquer the entire country if they offered people health care on top of all the fascism.

Third Position fascism still crops up from time to time but their weakness seems to be traditional fascists murdering them to consolidate power.

By american standards yes but that's not saying much.

I don't think there are any UK fascist parties doing that any more though, they all went hardcore libertarian and the last vaguely "we should have a society but only for white people" party was probably the BNP. Now it's all appealing to megaracist boomers who already own a house and hate the idea of taxes and foreigners and their children being happy.

Aren't American Conservatives anti-Catholic though?

I thought their version of Fundie Christianity was against Catholicism. As in full-on Jack Chick-esque equating the Pope to a baby blood drinking paedo.

American Catholics come in many stripes. They are traditionally a democratic voting bloc (the only two Catholic presidents have been dems) but lately there's been the rise of "tradcaths" on the right and also there are tons of single issue voters regarding abortion.

Yeah, we're getting a lot of full on masks off poo poo lately. I know he won't reply to me (even if he normally would have, god knows there's enough comments that he probably won't see mine) but I just asked him "so are you openly declaring you're a fascist now?" But anytime someone says something like this I want to ask them "are you speaking for yourself? Are you now more right wing than you used to be specifically because you keep getting too much criticism from the left?"

You're about 50 years out of date. Fundies and Evangelical Christians bonded with right wing Catholics over abortion post Roe v Wade.

Twitter already has draft and tweet scheduling features baked in, free of charge. They just came up with a third barrier between brain and internet and then decided to charge users for it this time.
