Here's a bunch of people I really like, most of them are nobodies outside of twitter https://twitter.com/NuclearAnthro cool guy who's getting his PhD in nuclear weapon related anthropology, posts lots of cool nuclear/cold war stuff https://twitter.com/KrangTNelson big leftist comedy account, sort of a one trick pony in that he mostly just dunks on dumb conservatives but he's pretty clever, gets posted here fairly often https://twitter.com/RussiawithoutBS good Russia/Ukraine commentary, kind of an anti-tankie leftist, former military, would fit in well here https://twitter.com/surfbordt good left politics/Russia commentary https://twitter.com/ArmyStrang leftist soldier with a podcast dedicated to leftist soldiers, would fit in extremely well here if he doesn't already post here https://twitter.com/pattymo more of a joke account but like a lot of former weird twitter joke people now often jokes about politics since the world is falling apart https://twitter.com/boring_as_heck see: pattymo https://twitter.com/crushingbort see: boring_as_heck https://twitter.com/Bro_Pair writer and I think former FYAD goon, lots of good analysis on stuff, formerly worked closely with @mobute until the latter got outed as a creep https://twitter.com/EliotHiggins our very own Brown Moses https://twitter.com/cd_hooks reporter in Texas who has lots of good political analysis and is also pretty funny https://twitter.com/blippoblappo kind of a cross between @crushingbort and @cd_hooks ? https://twitter.com/ByYourLogic member of extremely popular leftist podcast Chapo Trap House, all the CTH guys are funny and worth following but he's the funniest IMO It's really all down to personal taste but I really only directly follow people that are really funny or have an interesting niche like NuclearAnthro because if you follow a bunch of serious business politics people/reporters/etc then your twitter ends up being more or less like watching the news all day which gets kind of depressing even if you can tailor it to be of much higher quality.

Y'all should be following Darth https://twitter.com/darth No idea who it is, but Darth posts rapid-fire Photoshops of trump and others, alongside dogs and commentary on french fries. Gets crazy when actual journalists and Darth go back-and-forth on something, it's like an actually funny internet leak.

This seems like a good time to go back and re-visit a wonderful article written about the Syrian Civil War in the early years of the conflict:quote:People who are not Syrian ask me the most painful question, “Why do your people kill each other?” I usually give long-winded explanations, gesturing with my hands but without eye contact, offering historical and logical precedents of tyranny and oppression and revolution and freedom. But I don’t tell them what I should, not out of kindness, but out of pity and because it scares me to admit how hardened I’ve become over the last 20 months: Don’t you dare, even for one second, believe that your people and your cities are immune to what happened to my country, my friend. None of you are. It's a longish read, but 100% worth your time.

^^^ That Syria article broke me when I first read it in 2012. It’s tough when you realize that history is full of examples of people saying “Oh, that can’t happen HERE!” who end up getting hacked to death by their neighbor. Or, for that matter, we elected a president who puts out and endorses ads like this: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1057715198684000258

Daniel Dale is good if you want to see a fact checker slowly lose his mind, like some kind of lovely novel written by Aaron Sorkin and HP Lovecraft. Also Krang T. Nelson for funny accounts that are frequently political. He's the guy that somehow started the whole 'Antifa supersoldiers' meme. edit: and Amy Feinberg, who is a real reporter that's funny.
