Fun fact: even though the Colorado portrait does look off, it’s honestly not that far off. I think it’s just depicting Trump slightly leaner and with slightly less wrinkles.

This shows how important the details in facial features are, any slight inaccuracy can make a face look very wrong

Also I love that their Twitter link on the “debunked” claim of Twitch banning new sign-ups from Israel for a year literally has a Community Note that starts “This whole post is a lie” 😂 quality journalism right there

JPMorgan, AT&T Pull Twitch Ads After Antisemitism Allegations Three major brands have halted their advertising on Amazon.com Inc.’s Twitch online service, according to people with knowledge of the matter, after a controversial group of livestreamers alleged that...

Wow. Seems like if Twitch didn’t want “harassment” (emails from activists), they shouldn’t have supported the antisemitism? Why is the takeaway that Twitch shouldn’t be held accountable like literally preventing new sign-ups from Israel for over a year (until they were caught)? ..Hello?!

Is it masculine to be a fully knuckle-dragging idiot? Is trying hard in school not something men should strive to achieve according to the manosphere?

We gotta bring back calling stupid people stupid. If we don’t condemn stupidity, we get the glorification of it

The Leftwing media needs to get better at the headline-game like the Right is. They need to head off counter arguments within the headline itself.
Trump has already learned to capitalize on headline-readers who just want an easy conclusion and don’t wanna get lost in the details or nuance of things

Why is it the Leftwing media never had headlines like “Trump Lied to officers for 9 months about the whereabouts of his stolen classified documents”? Instead it’s just “Trump got raided for having documents” and fast forward to people thinking Biden did the same thing and got away with it 🙄

So John Stewart actually stumbled across an example of Biden tossing aside the norms (bipartisan legislation to aid the increasing number of migrants) in favor of helping the people in whichever way a president can (executive order to curtail the increasing number of migrants)

Kinda upset with Jon Stewart’s recent coverage of the Hunter Pardon. Jon brings up Biden’s hypocrisy about how Biden changed his tune on the border because “his poll numbers start to go down”. But the clip they played removed the context showing Biden’s desires had not changed, but R’s wouldn’t help

too* (sry… you’ll thank me later)

The Right represent the interests of Business Owners

The Left represent the interests of Workers

Idk how this populism on the right worked when half of Trump’s cabinet members are rich billionaires who bought this election. The Left needs a serious rebranding

There’s obviously a lot of Bluesky simping on here, could be warranted idk, but what’re your thoughts on Threads? Is it better than Bsky in some regards?

Putin was the belligerent.
Netanyahu was not the belligerent.

Regardless, Netanyahu *should* stand trial and argue his case. It’s the difference between a leader of a democracy and an authoritarian. Between liberal and illiberal.

Netanyahu needs to make this distinction clear and go to trial

We’re going to be spending these next 4yrs relearning why we have the institutions we have.
- Can a Republican explain if trade is good & why? If it’s removing potential jobs from a country, why trade at all?
- Is bipartisanship good? When should one make compromises, if ever?

Do Republicans value experience or is that considered “establishment”? How much money does someone successful in their field need before they’re given their unwavering respect?

Also:
- there needs to be a verification system. And imo it should be built into the platform, not utilizing the users to make and join Labels that they can trust or distrust

- Community Notes on Twitter is better than a Labeling system cuz it’s also built into the platform

- save drafts

This is a satirical account btw. Would be nice to get labels on it

“DDG”

Appreciate the push, Benn! And this is now Destiny’s first post on Bluesky 🫶🏻

Still interested in the Bridges podcast? Destiny’s spent entire streams just setting up the audio there lol his standards are too high. But, would be a fun convo imo

He also misspelled DGG… idk could still be a fan but that sounds like someone who hasn’t been to Destiny.gg

Trump only lost in 2020 cuz of the global pandemic. Love that you can act like COVID didn't happen when talking about how Trump left America. I sure wish we could do the same for Biden's presidency

Do you watch Survivor? And if so, you rooting for anyone particular in this season?

Do you think a Government-funded social media site that requires an ID to join is in our future? Would help ensure we are interacting with real humans and not troll farms, especially with AI it’s getting impossible to differentiate. But downsides are it’d be costly and idk if bots are a big deal tbh

Just watched your video on the bots problem in X and I’ve converted. Musk (and Putin) can’t get away with rent seeking behavior without a reckoning on the value and usefulness of X. Let them have a useless site of bots and no money. Fuck em

I’m still hesitant to turn my back from X completely.

Wouldn’t that be like allowing the Right to fester in their bubbles of misinformation? Wouldn’t it be more ethical to try to save them? To do that we’d need to go to where they are.
But on the other hand Fuck Musk… idk 🤷🏻‍♂️

“Nefarious associations”
Is that how you’d refer to anyone who dunked on the Far-Right for a living?

What’s one (1) example of something he’s “pretending” to believe? Strong claim, so I imagine you’ve got some evidence to back it up…?

Do you genuinely not know how to spell women?

You realize that’s *your* media that’s pushing it down your throats, right? You’re barking up the wrong tree buddy
