A little more context on this. They cannot conceive that Steve Albini the famous producer isnt paying for twitter likes because their lovely terf opinions aren't popular.

Yeah, Elon has made Twitter funny for a bit. Monstrously worse but it's quite funny watching broke brain fools come up against statistics showing just how alone they are outside their bubble and just going full blown conspiracy theory about the stats being wrong.

Yeah it's infuriating. But it doesn't really seem to be taking hold among the general public. Like maybe someone who gets all their opinions from the news is concerned about sports and thinks people shouldn't be mean to JKR but when it comes to actual trans people trying to live their lives, the majority of folk don't seem to give a poo poo one way or the other.

Similar things going on in Australia where right-wingers in their bubbles double and triple down on trans and queer culture war poo poo but seem to have the opposite effect at the ballot box. I think the intensity of the rhetoric is for once backfiring, since they're riling themselves up to screaming freaks as a default without even bothering with the dogwhistles. Unfortunately unlike the more effective American right's more effective moral panics and ratcheting laws.

I've got an overall theory (that I might've posted before) that Australia's defined by simultaneously really wanting to be like America and the UK, and also really wanting to look like they don't want to be like America and the UK. So we readily pick up any ideas and pop culture we can from both countries unless they're too identifiably British or American, in which case we drop them. This carries over into politics; 2000s and early 2010s American-style conservatism didn't really catch on because it was too religiously-grounded and Australia knows it's not that religious, but Trump-style conservatism could find some footing because just flagrant, selfish nationalism and racism is absolutely something Australians can get behind. (Fortunately, every Australian politician who tried to do that was incompetent.)

I think that's what's stopping us from being hit too badly by the transphobia wave; everyone's poo poo at packaging it for Australians. The British imports suck at pitching it because they can't find an angle that works and going to rallies is only really a 'leftie' thing, and the American swinging at drag queens doesn't work because your average Australian associates drag queens with Dame Edna and Priscilla Queen of the Desert and goes 'gently caress yeah, we love drag'. Barry Humphries might've had the ability to change it, but fortunately nobody was listening to him, and then he died.

Visiting this on Nitter, it's like the tweet exists in its short version with a link at the bottom to the longer version.

It's like long tweets are just a hack on top of what existed before.

Maybe this isn't new, but I'd never seen this.
