funny thing is twitter was already an excellent right wing echo chamber, real killed the goose who laid the golden egg type scenario

same, I mean I posted on SomethingAwful for a while and part of the game was always who could say the most shit about Lowtax without getting banned. to me "the owner of this place sucks" is just a natural place for a message board/social media site to be in. Musk is definitely a more obnoxious and infuriating guy than Zuck and the others but is he really that much worse? I dunno.
if I still check Twitter it's because there are still some people I really like on it. a lot of them are not American and don't seem to know a whole lot about Elon so they just respond to all the weird shit with "ha ha what is going on here". I used to be on there because it was really good for following sports, particularly baseball, but the timeline is constantly jacked up and a lot of the good accounts aren't really active anymore, so it's not really worth it for that either. idk I figured i'd check in every now and then but that stupid fucking "X" on my home screen now makes me really wanna uninstall the app from my phone

theres nowhere else to get posts this good
My boyfriend told me about how when he was a teenager he would invite girls over to his house in rural Sweden and make them deli meat sub sandwiches, which he had learned about in the US, to impress them and they would tell him, “I never knew that a sandwich could be like this!” https://t.co/aIs9M8UXAR— Christin (@hexprax) July 27, 2023

Yeah I was going to say, if this thread ends up being a default 'actually good tweets from the mire' location then hey. (At this point I am literally checking just two accounts for Ukraine news, one of which is associated with a site I can just check if need be, and that's it.)

The most insane thing people have tried to fight with me about on here is whether or not my boyfriend gave a girl a sandwich 20 years ago. And you’ll lose, pissants — every last one of you!! Because he gave that girl a sandwich!!!— Christin (@hexprax) July 27, 2023

I think if it is this difficult for you to read about someone making a sandwich 25 years ago you should probably get off the computer— Christin (@hexprax) July 28, 2023

The new X tagline “blaze your glory” is seemingly something that Elon Musk completely made up without consulting anyone and is only meaningful to him, which is basically the same as all of his decisions pic.twitter.com/cmIlmQkfEc— evan (@esjesjesj) July 31, 2023
