Wait, you mean russia would use social media and the batshit morons who follow them to disrupt a country’s political landscape???

Three simple words: Droning minor chords

You get maybe, in a 2 hour movie . . . 20 minutes maximum. Not 100 minutes.

Shocked! I’m shocked!

Well . . . not that shocked.

You mean like there were in 2016 when Meta was okie-fuckin dokie with it and refused to help or do any goddamned thing? Deleted some of those accounts you say? Oh how nice. I guess everything’s just dandy with the ol’ facepals these days eh

“Totalled” doesn’t have the same joi de vivre

So I had no idea what people kept referring to with the Folger’s ad thing, so I had to look up the story which happened in 2009. Apparently I haven’t seen ads for fourteen years. Which is awesome.

Everyone! Join me in the Eden that is a World Without Ads

I suspect the answer lies in the method by which people saw the question. Like, if you went up to people standing in line at a bank, or outside a concert or soemthing and pulled out a paper-based photograph and said “I saw this yesterday, what could it be?” you’d get the answers you were probably expecting. (As to the actual quesiton, yeah I dunno)

But if you post contrails on a website and say something to the effect of look at these contrails, then all the contextual clues you’ve given so far are the same that have been used by a lot of Qanon and other batshit crazy people who recently decided a demented orange rapist was equivalent to Jesus for them. I’m just saying it’s a totally different context from what you were probably intending.

That’s my guess as to “why” people saw it through a lens of “politics”. Less about actual scientific content, more about media theory.

There are a lot of people in jail for over a year because they don’t have $1,000 to get out. They haven’t been charged with a crime yet. (Spoiler alert: They’re not white)

Some of them die due to neglect. So. There’s that.

Yep. GRU / FSB propaganda scored a huge run of hits. Still very popular even.

Agreed. Most American polls are still done by phone, so it only counts people who answer unknown calls, and then answer a series of questions about their beliefs. Which just gets more unbelievable every day.

“He calculated that a closer relationship was necessary for economic reasons”

Bwahahaha! Did he! Did he calculate that?! Ahhhhh fucking hell.

He calculated that it would be better not to be up shit creek without a goddamned paddle.

Actually - don’t. Just let it grow, man. srs.

But . . but h3r EmAiLz

“Silence woman! Your god commands it!”

I mean - it’s so perfect and horrible, it seems to be the only proper response.

thing happens, everone sees it everyone talks about it

Years later: top story: thing happened

Yeah. We know. We - talked about it a lot, really. At the time. Years ago.

(Bonus fun: add “trump” to the above)

Kids - listen to me. There’s only ONE star wars movie. The rest are fan-made films that are fun but meaningless. Don’t get confused.

The new Macedonian troll farm talking point. Democrats scuttled Roe.

Because of the electoral college. That forces a two-party system. Which is why we’re in this terrible situation.

It also does nothing to stop a progressive from running as a democrat.

Stunt candidates like Jill Stein are grifters who do not give a single solitary fuck about the state of the world, and anyone considering a candidate like that is also extremely unlikely to run themselves.

I have friends who voted for Nader. They thought they were making a statement too. Then we got into Iraq II and they were very upset by it. We also got John “fuck voting righs” Roberts and Samuel “bitches be hoes” Alito out of the deal. Don’t be stupid.

Watching a bunch of tiktok gronks give their brilliant hot takes on how they don’t have to vote for Biden is like watching a drunken fratboy who’s holding everyone’s phones dancing on a cliff rim because someone told them not to. Stupid fuck. It doesn’t work like that.

It’s a longshot, but I’ll talk to the timelords. I mean - stupider things have happened.
