@NateSilver538 Now do Reddit.

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.

@0fficialADN @ahmadslmanx He’s on the scent.

@ahmadslmanx Something in the narrative ain’t adding up.

Who believes the U.S. bombed those planes? Were 3 planes malfunctioning? I never believe the United States.

@GlennMorin10 @JonahDispatch What does this have to do with criticism of the NYT story? Jonah didn’t choose the story of woman who fled the country over sixty bucks.

@JonahDispatch No, Jonah, like I said, I'm irritated you're perpetuating myths about public polices for federal revenue collection about which you have absolutely no experience or expertise.

This is just amazing. nytimes.com/2026/04/04/bus…

@tinfoilHT @theobjectivist Let me know when you give it up because you’re suffering with all the luxuries of modern society.

@MattCameron9 @theobjectivist No one else would struggle to live without either.

The average American today lives better than John D. Rockefeller did in 1926. That is not an exaggeration. It is a fact. Rockefeller could not fly across the country in five hours. You can for $200. He could not video call his family from another continent. You do it for free. He had no antibiotics, no MRI, no air conditioning in July. He could not carry every book ever written in his pocket. You are reading this on a device that does all of that and more. Americans throw away 30-40% of their food. Not because they are wasteful, but because food is so abundant that waste is affordable. Your car has climate control, navigation, and safety systems that did not exist at any price a century ago. Your home has heating, cooling, refrigeration, and entertainment that emperors could not have imagined. None of this was voted into existence. None of it was redistributed from the rich. It was created by free minds operating in what remains of a free market. Every comfort you enjoy today is the product of a man who thought, invented, produced, and traded voluntarily. This is what the remnants of capitalism still deliver, even while it is being dismantled. Imagine what a fully free society could build.

@tinfoilHT @theobjectivist Great. So you won’t miss it. Good to know.

@tinfoilHT @theobjectivist So you’ll have no problem without it. You’re on your way to living like Rockefeller.

@MattCameron9 @theobjectivist Quality is subjective. But words make it hard to communicate. Air conditioner doesn't increase quality. Enjoy

@tinfoilHT @theobjectivist Quality of life is worse because of the choices you have. So I’m removing one for you. Live well, my friend.

@MattCameron9 @theobjectivist i am unclear on your point?

@McFaul This guy considers himself to be an expert. Just remember that.

@tinfoilHT @theobjectivist Well how bout you choose no AC this summer. No fatigue.

These abilities do not give a better quality of life; they give more options. Psychological studies show more options are actually worse—see decision fatigue. Furthermore, not all of these things are deemed "better" by the average American. This is not an exaggeration. It is a fact.

@ediepoodie @Max11089 @DefiantLs Yet, tapering has been successful with many. Plenty of people have weened off. As I’ve said, I’m sure this isn’t a great situation for him. But he’s saying he’s taken antidepressants unwillingly for thirty years because of a tough day at school. That ain’t the whole story.

@MattCameron9 @Max11089 @DefiantLs There isn’t a single SSRI on the market with tapering instructions for physicians to follow with patients. Even if he wanted to get off years ago no physician knows how to help him do it. You can’t just quit taking them cold turkey.

Theo Von tells Joe Rogan: “One of my goals is to get off of antidepressants completely. I want to feel how I'm supposed to feel.” “I was having a tough day at school and they f**king gave them to me, and I never got off.”

@Max11089 @DefiantLs That doesn’t really change much. The point is that he’s a mature adult now. This issue is clearly deeper than he’s leading on. Certainly isn’t just about a tough day at school after a couple decades.

@MattCameron9 @DefiantLs He said 20 years not 28. He said school so he was probably back in college . He's probably thought about it a million times but people are terrified of withdrawal symptoms

@NJBethinFL @ClayTravis You don’t have to just live with it anymore. They can diagnose. Treat. You’ll be alright.

@ClayTravis Terrible takes! No Ron DeSantis, the guy who capitalized on lawfare to try and take Trump out. No Cruz or Lee either. No more congressmen. Plus "confirmed with ease!" lol what planet are you on?

Lee Zeldin would be a great AG choice. But if Trump went outside the cabinet, here are three names I’d seriously consider who would all be excellent: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and two senators who would likely be confirmed with ease: Texas’s Ted Cruz and Utah’s Mike Lee.

@LumpyPumpkinz @neoavatara Specific words are actually important. That’s why the choice to differentiate the people from the militia is so important. Specific words are actually important. You’re right.

@MattCameron9 @neoavatara States restricted the freedom of speech until the 1A was incorporated. You really don't understand that the specific words are actually important.

Correct.

@LumpyPumpkinz @neoavatara It doesn’t matter if they did it. The courts have decided the constitution protects it, so that’s it. The incorporation doctrine isn’t an amendment to the constitution. It’s a legal doctrine that affirms what the constitution already says.

@LumpyPumpkinz @neoavatara Right. The courts have further affirmed the individual right. Activist jurists like Scalia, I’m sure.

@MattCameron9 @neoavatara Google incorporation of First Amendment.

@LumpyPumpkinz @neoavatara And yet Article VI, Clause 2 exists. The constitution preempts state law. So yes, you do have a right to free speech despite not explicitly stating so in the first amendment. At least your incoherence is consistent.

@MattCameron9 @neoavatara You don't explicitly have a right to speech. Congress can't pass a law abridging it. It's technically a restriction on the powers of the federal government and not explicitly a right. States restricted it at the time because they weren't Congress for instance.

@LumpyPumpkinz @neoavatara No I’m not. I’m not pretending anything. I accept the preamble statement. I’m also accepting that they wrote militia AND people separately. I’m not claiming that this one mention of the people is somehow different. But I notice you found that abortion right. Shocking.

@MattCameron9 @neoavatara They didn't right JUST that. That's my point. You pretend it's just those words and nothing else.

@LumpyPumpkinz @neoavatara LumpyPumpkinz: they should just write “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” Founders: wrote exactly that LumpyPumpkinz: aCkShUaLlY And then it’s me who’s illiterate. Jesus Christ.

@MattCameron9 @neoavatara It doesn't clarify any rights of the people. Are you illiterate?
