Watching the exodus (or threatened exodus) of the faithful from platform to platform is hilarious.

I'm weirdly surprised by Newsmax here.

meanwhile the oath keepers are experiencing record enrollment, i'm sure

and yeah i'm with moodles, i'm genuinely surprised to see newsmax printing something that's real. i honestly put them below the national enquirer, which has at least broke actual news more than once (talking about bat boy + 1)

Was genuinely curious at what point, possibly months on in a Biden presidency, these platforms would have to admit that Trump maybe isn’t legally the president anymore.

eventually they’ll all end up following Randy Quaid

wait what platform are they gonna migrate to if they've lost newsmax??

OAN, Parler

Cat Fancy hasn’t called it for Biden yet

Newsmax, welcome to the left-leaning resistance

and yeah i'm with moodles, i'm genuinely surprised to see newsmax printing something that's real. i honestly put them below the national enquirer, which has at least broke actual news more than once (talking about bat boy + 1)

National Enquirer occasionally breaks celebrity scandal news but they've never published anything as important as the saga of Bat Boy, which was covered by the outstanding journalists over at the Weekly World News.

And I can't tell, was Parler's database actually hacked today?

Who are these infants who must be spoonfed only what they choose to believe? How do they work and live and breathe? Do they balk every time they go to the grocery and unsuccessfully try to buy milk with a fistful of rubberbands? I ask again, emphatically: how do they live? And how does anyone live with them?

conservative online bulwark is now Craigslist Personals - pass it on

I imagine that they, like the majority of posters here, present their mostly unfettered id as an online persona and temper it considerably in meatspace.

Of course, the grand tragedy of the past fifteen years or so of social media as the dominant dialectic is the breaking down of those walls on every count and the overarching belief that if one shared irl/online persona is necessary to preserve authenticity and increase one’s viewership, best to go with the one that is strident, snotty and impossibly always right.

It’s how I WANT AN OOMPA LOOMPA NOW became the modern rallying cry of three concurrent.generation

No knocks on those who I am posting beside here; “most” is likely an overstatement.

i hope they all end up burrowing underground like wombles

But wombles were dedicated recyclers

OANN will probably insist Trump is still President in 2022

Personally, I have been merging my online and meatspace personas into a compromise that no one is happy with

as an impartial observer, I can tell you I'm happy with the new improved and more vulnerable ZS/KM character

i appreciate that, but also feel that i am one motorcycle away from being james in twin peaks, and i mean that on the level where james sucks

but i do appreciate that <3
*james look*

james is the worst AND the best

just you
and i

james was always cool

Will post this on my fb page with 5,000 friends and thousands of followers.

I was never the biggest fan of James, but did think that he was always a bit unjustly maligned-- compared to all the other younger men on the show, he was a winner!

whoa sorry huge

the numbers are clear: Worst ongoing plotline in the second season of Twin Peaks (SPOILERS)

KM is super cool and as long as he stays away from Evelyn we’ll be fine

Nate Silver, Stupid Myopic Asshole: a thread.

So, I really try my best not to use the quote tweet for shade or snark. I employ it for funny/sweet things or if there’s a lesson we really, really need to understand.

This, you’ve by now guessed, is the latter. Because this isn’t just wrong, it’s dangerous.

Yes, thread. https://t.co/oVxW1eKjPJ

tremendous

it sounds like this guy and nate silver have different goalposts for "election theft"

"This guy" is a woman named Brittany Packnett Cunningham, and that thread is right on in *every single way.*

yes

oof, my bad. :/

nate silver should def talk less

Who are these infants who must be spoonfed only what they choose to believe? How do they work and live and breathe?

Oh, you.

out there in the thread

Eh, I’m fine with dunking on Nate, but his argument was a lot more specific— not that Trump and the GOP more broadly weren’t trying every conceivable way to steal the election, just that in the post-11/3 aftermath there was never a very plausible way for them to do it.

All of her points are of course otm.

yeah I don't think Nate was focusing on systemic issues so much as elaborate plots to steal an election, flipping the results of an election.

that said, the general voting public does need to be consistently reminded of the systemic voter disenfranchisement that has been the M.O. of the GOP for decades, particularly against minorities.

happy Kraken Day to all who celebrate

Excited Trump supporters have dubbed today Kraken Day, after ex-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell promised to "release the kraken" in an election fraud lawsuit set to be filed today. pic.twitter.com/9Q3JRs3VGC
