  1. Especially communities that have deep ties to, and integration with, Twitch/YouTube/Instagram, etc. like the gaming community does.
  2. She tucked her tail between her legs and ran back to South Dakota because of a potential “weather event” that everybody knew was a lie. She was snubbed by Trump at an even tailored for Trump’s VP candidates. She was defeated by the lamestream media. Multiple shows on Fox News either tore her a new one or mocked the hell out of her when she canceled. Newsmax said she was once at the top of Trump’s VP list, but now is not even on the list. Ducking Newsmax, just one step above OAN. When she refused to answer questions about Ole Cricket or Lil Kim, you could see on her face that she was both angry and confused that she didn’t control the narrative, and she didn’t understand why so many conservatives turned on her. Like I said, Trump plows through his lies and gives no fucks whether you know he’s lying or not, but she tries to dodge the lies because she knows they are lies, so there is a little shame mixed in with the anger and confusion.
  3. And criminalizing the possession of abortion pills in Louisiana.
  4. No kidding. It’s like he doesn’t know shit about kidnapping - any competent kidnapper is going to follow the rule of The Golden Hour of Kidnapping, aka the first 60 minutes after you kidnap somebody is spent on the road and exiting the victim’s home area as fast as possible, even if that’s only 40-50 miles down the road depending on traffic. Putting aside the fact that the person was dropping off his daughter, that area that they live in probably has quite a few door bell cameras and even a license plate scanner or two on cop cars, so it’s not likely to be a big kidnapping threat anyways.
  5. I still bring it up to MAGA relatives and that I appreciate and applaud the fact that Trump worked so hard to get COVID vaccines out to everybody.
  6. It’s weird how so many people in this country want to see their fellow Americans suffer, I wonder if there’s something in the genes of those whose ancestors came out of Europe. Obviously many of our ancestors bailed on Europe for reasons other than finding their fortunes, like maybe they weren’t getting along with the people around them.
  7. They did a pretty good job of pissing off their neighbors everywhere they went. Zane Grey did a decent job of covering the polygamy stuff, but then again he was writing about this stuff as it happened (or had recently happened). Been some time since I read some Zane Grey, need to add him to the list.
  8. It’s just a reflection of the fact that everybody thought the Mormons were assholes (they were basically sovereign citizens on acid) and kept kicking them out of their states (New York, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, etc.) and so the Mormons were constantly on the move for a long time. It paid to be prepared to grab a few things and move on fast if the locals got pissed that you were eying their wimmen, or that you were in a cult and your leader Joseph Smith was a criminal. Their paranoia about always being prepared was well-founded in the 19th Century, but it was also a self-inflicted problem.
  9. Yep. You could have $20,000 in gold coins (paging @RDCanecutter) but somebody with $10 worth of lead can relieve you of that burden.
  10. It’s like the GOP wants to drive young people and women out to vote against them in November.
  11. Okay that’s insane. Nintendo said this: As of June 10, 2024, it will no longer be possible to post screenshots and videos to X (formerly Twitter) from the Nintendo Switch's Album, or send friend requests to social media users via the Friend Suggestions feature. Find out more: https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/65057 And Twitter said this in response: The gaming community is one of the largest and most vibrant communities on our platform, and we are dedicated to enhancing and supporting gaming-related features. As part of Nintendo's planned discontinuation of sharing content to X from the Nintendo Switch, from June 11th, users will need to download Switch gameplay media directly to their smartphones and share it natively on our platform. We worked together with Nintendo throughout this process to ensure API access for this integration, but ultimately it was a product decision made by Nintendo. Our partnership with Nintendo remains strong, and we are working together to ensure a smooth transition for all users. We will continue collaborating with partners to bring new and exciting experiences to our global gaming community. Community note: This is in direct response to X changing their API. Specifically, X is charging companies upwards of $40,000 or more per month to access its API. Sony's PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox already removed integration with X last year. uk.pcmag.com/sony-playstati… uk.pcmag.com/news/146559/mi… en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/de… ——- So Twitter has run off the Sony/PlayStation, Microsoft/XBox, and Nintendo platforms from posting directly on Twitter. All because Twitrer wanted to collect around $1.5 million (or more) a year from Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo, who had made it easy for millions of people to create a shitload of content on Twitter for free.
  12. Recent updates from Mosseri It’s important that people understand how their Threads posts perform, so we’re rolling out the ability to tap anywhere on a post to display its total view count. We’ve got more work to do, but I think this is a great first step in giving creators the some of the data they’ve been asking for. The ability to limit who can quote your Threads posts is now available to everyone. You can allow quotes from everyone on Threads, only the people you follow, or disable quote posts entirely. I hope this will help keep Threads a more positive place and give people more control over their experience. If you’ve been using this feature, would love to hear your thoughts. Quote control info: https://www.threads.net/@mosseri/post/C6O_DrvPIMv Smaller creators historically haven’t gotten their fair share of reach on Instagram, and we want to change that. So we’re making some changes to how we rank recommendations to give smaller creators a better chance of breaking through. We are rolling this out slowly but hope smaller creators start to see the benefits over the coming months. I should clarify this does not apply yet to Threads, but we’re exploring bringing some of these ideas to Threads ranking as well. I posted about some major changes to ranking that will affect both craters and aggregators this morning: we’ve started to replace a post that we’re recommending with the original one, if we can find it, and we are going to stop recommending posts from aggregators over the next few months. We doing plan to demote posts from any aggregators you follow. I should clarify we’re talking about exact content replication. So if you take someone’s photo or video and riff on it, maybe putting green screen video of yourself on top with your own commentary or making it into a meme with text, we consider that (mixed) original content. Today on Threads, we’re expanding Hidden Words, which until now only were applied to replies, so you can filter out unwanted content from feeds, search, profiles, and post replies on Threads. We’re also testing ways to select who can quote you and the ability to mute notifications on your posts. I hope these features give you more control over your experience on Threads and help keep it a place for positive conversation. Let me know what you think, especially if you’re in the tests. How hidden words work https://www.threads.net/@mosseri/post/C6O_LvgPtg1 We’re starting to test the *option* to archive posts with a small number of people. You can do this manually, for individual posts, or choose to automatically archive all posts after a certain period of time. If you want to make your post public again, you can always unarchive it whenever you’d like. I ran a poll white back and the resounding feedback was not to make this the default, so we’re gonna try it as an option.
  13. Women say “nudes in profile” a lot on Twitter, and in their profile is a link to their OnlyFans page or whatever, or a link to a site that redirects you. Or it just links to spam. Although it’s probably not women, and just bots.
  14. Congrats Elmo, “nudes in profile” is becoming a common response to serious stuff. NSFW
  15. Russia hammered Kharkiv last night, and are apparently trying to push 50,000 or so troops in that direction, but their supply vehicles are being taken out by drones, and it’s hard to say how much they’ve managed to move. Might explain this
  16. Tesla is his ATM though, which is why he was chasing that insane compensation.
  17. You’re telling us there was a sequel to Aliens…
  18. I don’t know - Trump is expected to lie and not be held accountable, and everybody, including him, knows he is lying. Noem is getting treated somewhat like DeSantis and RFK when they fuck up, but also like she should know better than to lie so blatantly. She’s being treated like an adult, unlike Trump. Also, Trump doesn’t care if you know he’s lying, he just plows ahead and usually doesn’t get flustered. Noem gets flustered in these interviews, and the interviewees are going to home in on that.
