You can also straight up buy the verified checkmark now, which explicitly boosts your tweets to the top of reply lists. Naturally the people who support Musk trend towards hard-right idiots, so the topmost replies on any tweet are usually full of chuds.

Also if you have a blue checkmark your stuff zooms to the top regardless if it's popular or not. Usually people that buy blue check marks are regressive shitheads so now twitter has gone into overdrive in terms of supporting racist and downright evil content. Its off the deep end. Edit - dang it zamu

Some dude pranked Alex Jones with AI pretending to Tucker Carlson and Jones had a loving meltdown "WE're gonna find out who you're working with, buddy" Dollars to donuts it was Soros. https://www.cracked.com/article_379...er-carlson.html Here's the Twitter link if you don't want to read a Cracked article https://twitter.com/GoadGatsby/status/1654180655582830592

Ah, so DeSantis is anti-circumcision then? Yeah I know, I know, he doesn't care about that, and would happily be hypocritical if someone even asked him. Still.

also it was/is common practice to 'correct' the genitals of intersex babies but I'm guessing that's not a problem for DeSantis for some reason!

Jones went from trying to get the prank call guy to come on his show to calling him "so satanic" to threatening legal action over the course of an hour while palling around with the newly divorced Crowder in Crowder's studio.  I'm just hoping this call is actually good and really embarrassing for Jones, else it seems like a waste.

I see the pick-me's seem to reason that they are safe because they are more 'passing' than other trans people. But this fact seems moot because conservatives KNOW the pickme is trans and at that point are gonna get lumped in with the trans people they think don't 'pass'.

Etymology From the phrase pick me + girl, the implication being that such women, like someone pleading "pick me!", are desperate to be chosen over their putative competition. Noun pick-me girl (plural pick-me girls) (slang, derogatory) A woman who asserts that she is unlike (and sometimes better than) most other women, in order to gain attention, approval, or validation from men.

She tried to get that anti-trans Blaire White grift bag and utterly fumbled it. The sad fact is that there is real money in being the chudosphere's Token Minority and she's very clearly trying to succeed Blaire or Caitlyn Jenner and completely loving it up. The second anyone stops paying attention to her or paying her for these rancid opinions she'll disappear into obscurity or come back with an apology Medium post, and should never be trusted.

None of these trans women who are trying to suck up to the right are ever going to get anywhere. At least in Caitlyn Jenner's case she has money and doesn't need to worry about what they think, but you have to be pretty hosed up to try and cozy up with the same people who are screaming at you that you are some kind of abomination.

People fail to understand that this sort of plea towards the right only works in cases like Caitlyn Jenner and Blaire White because those people are already really famous, and thus, are useful to the right-wing cause. A trans person who is a total nobody and starts espousing that rhetoric is only useful to keep around until they can be made an example of.

Likely the most she can hope for is being on Destiny's twitch channel or at best, on Dave Rubin's show once where he'll have Matt Walsh on to abuse her for an hour while she has to smile and take it so Rubin can appear to be moderate. I pity her but I will never, ever trust a word that comes out of her mouth.

Not really, it wasn't until she started playing quisling on Dave Rubin's show and starting fights at protests with her boyfriend and streaming it people started to know who she was. She was some dipshit CS undergrad making dime-a-dozen anti-feminist youtube videos before that.

I AM GRANDO posted:What was Blaire White famous for before she started begging to be the first one into the oven? I don't know what she's been up to recently, but 4-5 years ago her thing was makeup tutorials, generally petty mean girl poo poo, and reactionary hot takes. Generally making GBS threads on trans people who she felt weren't trying hard enough. She was big on bullying Contrapoints when she was early in transition, for example.

I AM GRANDO posted:What was Blaire White famous for before she started begging to be the first one into the oven? I guess it's broadly true that she's always had a right-lean, but my largely trans friend group knew her for being famous as a lifestyle/makeup influencer (and also sometimes a political bully) for years before she started basically JUST doing political bullying poo poo (and also sometimes makeup and lifestyle stuff). It might be a small distinction in practice, but I, at least, heard of her before she was talking with Ben Shapiro and walking around in a MAGA hat. Especially my cis friends, and people who would call themselves "centrists" spent years saying she was a totally reasonable center-right talking head before she kind of went off the deep end, but now even those people are like, "oh yeah, she's a crackpot"

Nah, a bunch of boomer Trump supporters got into Twitter because of Trump and the fact that Kamala Harris said he should be banned from Twitter during the 2020 campaign. It doesn't really matter, though. The play here is for Tucker to find someone richer and dumber than him to hand him money to say stupid poo poo. That's been his game all along. On Twitter he won't have to bring in any money at all for Elon to be happy because Elon just wants a paid for media figure on his side.

I would assume Tucker just wants to get back on air as quickly as possible. The money seems less important to him than managing his brand and this crisis. Right now all the noise is against him so now he gets to start telling his bullshit side of the story and waging his attacks as he continues to try and find a next career step that benefits him. It’s probably not worth signing onto one of the marginal channels now as they’re just trying to use him to boost their exposure. But Tucker ain’t interested in helping anyone but himself.

The bluecheck brigade are crowing about tucker getting 70 million views for his "I'm on twitter now" video, but I wonder (doubt) if that audience is going to stick around once the novelty wears off and he starts releasing videos longer than three minutes.
