reminds me of homer simpson and his pumpkins
"Yeah, that's right, Barney. This year, I invested in pumpkins. They've been going up the whole month of October. And I got a feeling they're gonna peak right around January."

feel like the ceo should have a word with the cto about his team’s inability to write a regular expression that matches the name of the company.

Does Bluesky promote as much discussion about Twitter/Musk/Tesla as Threads does? The vibe over there is very much "oh yeah, I'm totally over my ex - anyway, did you hear what they did last weekend?"

As far as I know, they haven't actually tried to make money from the app yet, so there's no ads or suggested posts in your feed or etc.

look the state of Twitter ain't great, it's being slowly taken over by porn bots and really gross ads like this "Liver King" one I keep getting where it's a really gross roided out Macho Man Randy Savage looking dude sticking his head into a slab of raw beef or whatever. I think it's still in better shape than Facebook which I can see has really been taken over by AI generated engagement bait which works really well on the platform because its average user is not online savvy at all

liver king has bled through his soul to bring you the truth, you ingrates
once i saw one about how he hasn't washed his hair or beard in years (bc decadence, or something) but i guess that didn't test well because never again

I mean like none of the apps can possibly be good anymore because the apps industry has determined that the thing that generates the most money is short form vertical video telling people to bet on sports, that's all the internet is for now

Something I've noticed is that there will be tweets w numbers of "Views" listed as being in the tens or h a hundreds of thousands (or more), but which have only a handful (if that) of likes and/or replies. Seems slightly off...

two accounts, one is mostly indie games and trains but i must've clicked on something recently because I'm also getting posts from every London museum and library and walking tour and university now
the other account, music and friends, is now 90% Arabic, which i can't read, pages and pages of it. and it's just random Arabic stuff too, weddings and cars, lots of the war obv, but also recipes and pop videos and fashion.
oh, those algorithms...

David Klion profiles Will Stancil:https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/will-stancil-twitter-mn-house-candidate.html

oopsie
In the summer of 2023, Stancil clashed with more irony-poisoned elements of the left who were joking, in his view distastefully, about the wealthy tourists who died during the Titan submersible implosion. And for a period after the October 7 Hamas attacks, Stancil went hard after left-wing critics of Israel, myself included — though he hasn’t tweeted about the conflict at all since a few weeks before he announced his candidacy. “I kinda don’t think the organized left in America is going to survive this,” he tweeted on October 11. During our discussion, Israel was the only major topic Stancil wanted to go off the record for; on record, he simply said, “My position on the war in Gaza is that it’s horrible, and I want it to end as soon as possible.”

i like david klion but that piece doesnt examine what i guess is stancils core thesis that hes influencing the media and washington with his tweets, which is needless to say absurd, sure if you go around playing the victim to some boogieman left thats sabotaging an otherwise popular and successful democratic party then yeah some people will listen to you, people who already think that, because its a comforting easy thing to believe, it also happens to be completely unmoored from reality, but comforting things are generally like that
