That's very funny given how dog poo poo Titter's video service is. I don't click on any video links, they are always slow no matter how long you wait

Their volume controls are so finicky and annoying that I don’t think I’ve ever taken them off mute for the 5 seconds of video I get before it starts buffering forever.

The official policy is if you respond to harassment it is now a "free speech discussion" and thus isn't harassment, great

Funny how Biden asking Twitter, with Biden not being President at the time mind you, to take down dick pics of his son is so news worthy for Taibbi but Trump demanding Chrissy Tiegen be banned, as the sitting President, doesn’t warrant one of the 867 Twitter Files.

it's me, i'm the guy given all the documents from elon musk and somehow when searching for "POTUS", "WHITE HOUSE", "BIDEN" somehow missed Donald J Trump being called a PUSSY rear end BITCH, whining about it, and using the State to get it taken down

now to be fair, maybe elon didn't give you _that_ document. which means at this point he's trying to sabotage your career/integrity and you should immediately out him and stop working on something that's damaging your reputation. you shouldn't fall in love with him and slip it in when you're getting owned by mehdi

At least half the ads I see on Twitter now appear to be from one big network of accounts that all look like that one: All named “@[random made up two syllable word]store” with auto-generated looking profile images all using the same post wording to link to storefronts selling random gimmicky gadgets or toys that if they actually exist are probably marked up crap from AliExpress.






And you definitely see different store names pop up with the same product in the ad, I’ve see the making GBS threads dogs puzzle a bunch of times.

From that interview with Hasan, you can tell he's trying to make himself into the next Ben Shapiro/Michael Knowles but Taibbi is a loving horrible talker and keeps tripping over himself.

It's also really pitiful how Taibbi keeps trying to hadouken his way out of a corner by going THAT'S RICH COMING FROM MSNBC, YOU SCREWED UP ON THIS AND THIS, WHAT ABOUT HUNTER BIDEN HUH??? RUSSIAGATE!!!

He just comes across like someone who's never actually been in an adversarial interview before and has no idea how to handle it or how not to look like a total dweeb who's having rings run around him by someone who's orders of magnitude better at marshaling thoughts and citing facts off the cuff, or just like ... preparing

"This may have been a mistake."
It's especially hilarious because if he was prepared and had done good journalism, this would have been a great way to signal boost. As it is though, the pathetic flailing and whataboutism comes across extremely poorly, because Taibbi should be focusing on his own work because that's what the segment on a national network is about. Trying to pivot to unrelated topics is frankly incredibly stupid even before you get to how badly he tried to do it.

Ooof, this is just a day of big old L's for Taibbi, he's gonna have to take one eventually. The increase in his Substack followers was the whole reason he did the Twitter files, or at least that's the reasoning he used when asked why he wasn't being paid for his schtick. Taibbi or not Taibbi, that's the question

It's a huge screaming klaxon. I used to think (when I was, like, a teenager) that being "right" was the way to be liked and respected; that if you amass knowledge and can prove that you know the most and are able to prove the other person wrong, you'll somehow have "won" and you'll be popular. It wasn't until embarrassingly late in life that I really internalized the experience of admitting that I was wrong about something, and having people like and respect me more because of it.

Thing is, most of these people don't really exist in real life, it's like 99% internet and TV stuff. All you gotta do is turn that off (or put the legwork into blocking a ton of shitbags) and poof, problem gone.

They aren't going out on the street corner ranting about whatever, there is no money in that. You'll still get your true believer street preacher (I like my "LAKE OF FIRE, LAKE OF FIRE" guy), but those ones are not in it for the money or power and can just be ignored.

But yeah, back to your main point, "I don't really know enough about that to say." And "that sounds interesting, tell me more/I'll look it up." Gets you a hell of a lot further than trying to be the smartest most talky person in the room.
