@NateSilver538 I'm less struck by the red/blue balance and more by the fact that so many of the biggest accounts are just awful, regardless of political lean.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

@emhoneyreads Have *I* lost my mind? Because what kind of a weirdo doesn't group books by *topic*?

Have I lost my mind, because mine is arranged by author…

@RestingNinja86 @hokkori_nekko Yeah, that is also true. When it comes to accounting in things like hiring and college admissions, Asians are now regarded as "honorary whites".

@Brackto @hokkori_nekko I've actually noticed that people on the left tend to not include Asians in their "protected races" list. A lot of them treat Asians the same as white people and therefore inherently wrong in all aspects of life

フランスもデンマークも 移民に自国の価値観を求めてる 日本がやると排外主義 この基準の違い誰か説明して🤔

@aaliyahvtuber_ One problem is that high IQ men often end up in fields like math and engineering that are so male-dominated that they never really meet single women.

why do high-IQ men seem to struggle with dating?

@jtizzle290 @ireland_keith @USA_Polling Most people thought Biden won that debate. #Reception_and_aftermath" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Unit… (It seems like you might be confusing Biden's awful 2024 debate for the 2020 one?)

@ireland_keith @Brackto @USA_Polling All you have to see is Biden getting the most votes ever by 4m and watching his debate. If you don’t question that then you’re a lost cause. 81m votes… to a muppet.

Generic Ballot Polling Among Gen-X: 🔴 GOP: 45% 🔵 DEM: 41% Morning Consult / March 29, 2026

You know how they say “never bring a knife to a gunfight”? What the fuck am I supposed to do if they bring this?

@Mithrandir48 @JamesSurowiecki The 30,000 most courageous people got murdered.

@JamesSurowiecki We can just keep bombing them, I'm just sad that the Iranian people were cowards in the end, not willing to stand up, there was a moment of courage and now they do nothing.

Isn't the obvious deal that we agree to stop bombing, Iran agrees to open the Strait and stop tolling, and we call it even and everyone goes home?

@DSPetolicchio One simple way to implement a test would be this: the ballot is a blank sheet of paper. To cast a vote, you need to know and write out the name of who you want to vote for and the office they are running for. No help.

There should be an IQ test in order to vote.

@woo18845631 @magineco I really want Chiba to become a global capitol of cyberware.

@magineco 元祖サイバーパンク、ニューロマンサーは舞台が日本。 80年代までの日本、東京のイメージからの発想、らしいよ。

そうか、日本人から見てサイバーパンクの本場はアメリカだけど、向こうから見たら逆に見えるのか？？？

@otokyo__ A lesser-known one: "Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father"

I don’t want your “best movie ever.” I want the one that made you sit in silence when the credits rolled. The one where you said, “what… was that?” No spoilers. Just titles. Let’s ruin my week.

@skepticalone44 @honkeymcconkey @198ahiru I can't; I was wrong :-D. I thought New York, Connecticut, and California did but no. CT is 4 inches, and NY and CA, while restrictive in many ways, don't have a statewide 3" limit. And apparently NY has fixed the insane "gravity knife" situation.

@Brackto @honkeymcconkey @198ahiru Name the state.

海外のナイフ愛好家達は日本の刃物に関する法律にけっこう興味あるという事もわかって面白い アメリカの人からすると信じられないほど厳しい法律に見えるようだけど、イギリスなどから見ると『まあ、そうね』ぐらいっぽい

@Krimmsin @watatsuri One reason for it is that Florida has a robust transparency law that allows the public (and journalists) access to police records and information about crime.

@watatsuri "Florida Man" is reference often to wild news stories from the state of Florida, like a man ordering food for his pet alligator at McDonalds since alligators are very common in Florida. Florida's also a good state for fishing

ねぇ待って、フロリダマンをGoogleで検索してみてって言われたから今検索してみたんだけど、ねぇなにこれ‍誰か説明して‍😂

@hirahira22222 The campaign against smoking has been the most successful public health intervention in American history. Its down to like 15% of adults; used to be almost half.

そういえばアメリカは日本以上にタバコに対して規制が強いらしいね 薬物取り締まれよ

@jtizzle290 @USA_Polling It's largely because voter ID is being tied to elimination of mail-in voting, which people like because it is convenient. If you tie those together in your poll question, you won't get 80% approval.

@USA_Polling I’d say they’re probably more anti dem than pro Trump. People in the media cannot accept how wildly stupid the dem message has become to the normal person. Like 80%+ of both sides want voter ID but dems refuse it on every level. Very representative…

@tacowasa2nd He's the reason I can't telework.

なんかtweetが自動翻訳されるせいで最近 Elon Musk　 って都合のいい情報は何でも信じる情弱なクソ野郎のtweetがよく流れてくるんだが こいつがアメリカ最大のネトウヨ系インフルエンサーってことで合ってる? アメリカでは有名人なのかしら?

@poino_math That's very impressive!

第67回国際数学オリンピック日本代表に選ばれました！！ 生きててよかった…

@Ashley78186050 The biggest waste of my life was the time I spent in school "learning" French.

I’ve noticed something interesting… Japanese tweets get auto-translated into English → People reply in English → So I respond in English… Meanwhile, Americans… maybe try learning another language? lol

@skepticalone44 @honkeymcconkey @198ahiru Many states have ~3 inch limits on length, which this knife would go beyond. And many states set up a catch 22 concerning a "gravity knife" vs a "switchblade".

@honkeymcconkey @198ahiru Maybe in a city, yes. (NYC, DC, LA, etc) Maybe concealed, yes (CO, NM, NE) As a general rule as long as its not a dirk, switchblade, stiletto, and so on it is not a prohibited item. Carrying will vary open vs concealed and often on length and if its a tool vs weapon.

@mplungjan @Guccistarboi Entered this thread looking for this.

@Guccistarboi 1972 called en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisencol… youtu.be/bQDY3HFkh_Y

So this how English sounded to the whole world who don’t speak English 😂 always wondered.
