OK, I'm done. I'm deleting Twitter from my phone, and stepping back from this account. I've been here since 2008, but I don't want to lend another second of material support to Elon Musk's ego-stroking personal experiment in manufacturing consent and disinformation. 1/2

OK, last one: I did meet cool, hilarious people on Twitter, and occasionally learned something. But that's all overwhelmed by the hateful stench of the Musk era. I'm out.

The deadly and vast challenges facing the world are not going to be improved on a public forum that daily fragments our attention spans, preys on fear and anxiety while promoting lies and hatred. 2/2

@almurray He will be a mush-brained animatronic puppet within a year. It's not what he will do, but what his supporters will do in his name that should scare everyone. He didn't build the wall, but the racist rhetoric of walls was enough. He won't deport all migrants, but.... etc.

Which promises will he keep? Clack clack clack up to the top of the rollercoaster

It's a shame the rest of the world doesn't have the luxury of ignoring and isolating the USA the way it does, say, Turkmenistan.

@bcmerchant Sure, whatever. Maybe don't play down the number of fascists happily voting fascist, though. That's a bigger problem than "the campaign didn't get the branding right".

The consultants behind Harris’s campaign — reigning in the ‘weird’ line, bringing in the Cheneys, completely spurning Uncommitted and all the student protestors — should never work in Washington again (they will)

People might want to suggest that Harris lost this race, but the real problem is the sheer number of Americans who bleat for freedom and cheer for fascism.

@LiamFromBoston Do you think they were confused about which Georgia they were supposed to be interfering with?

The biggest story of the night is Russia calling multiple bomb threats into Democratic strongholds across the country. This should shock every American to the core.

@cbotnyse @mchooyah "He does nasty things to his best friends. His best friend's wives. Anyone who he first tries to gain their trust ... and then uses it do bad things. That's how it goes [...] He knows nothing. No history. No strategy." That's Epstein's assessment of Trump.

Welp, the October surprise was not the Epstein client list. I guess we need to wait…. January 21…

@ijaqit @mchooyah I've definitely gotten a lot of use out of this screenshot the past few days.

@itsmesharney Yes, it sounded pretty cool. But he was only a couple of sentences away from talking like a total twat: "The MP for Clacton also called for Harris to pardon Trump “to dampen down” the threat of violence if she wins on election night amid a tight presidential race."

Jesus, I wasn’t expecting this. Farage: Trump should accept result, and go and play golf if Harris wins

@HalSparks They should just stop covering his rallies. It's a bit late now, but he'd find out pretty fast that he needs the media to amplify his bullshit, and they keep gazing on in appalled fascination.

@WehnerNick @rustyrockets

@rustyrockets Simple. I’m voting for the guy who God saved from the bullet. Divine intervention. It’s clear who God voted for.

America’s BIG DECISION - How Do You Vote For God?

@AlphaCapital888 Like for Trump, Retweet for Harris, and Block for anyone who posts these stupid fucking clickbait surveys.

Who will win the #USElection2024? 🇺🇸 🩷 Trump 🔁 Harris $BTC #bitcoin #cryptomarket #ETH

@TheCinesthetic The sadness in his eyes as he realises he's dying has haunted me my whole life.

What is the saddest death of a fictional character?

@Evangelope @iamAtheistGirl Even if it *was* "selfishness and pride", and that was not just a disgusting and demeaning insinuation you were making ........ it would still be *none of your business*.

reasons women have abortions: 1. none of your business 2. none of your business 3. none of your business 4. none of your business 5. none of your business 6. none of your business 7. none of your business 8. none of your business 9. none of your business 10. none of your business

@highbrow_nobrow I would give it a try, for sure. I'm planning to exit Twitter right after the US election (gotta have a marker to break out of an addiction, or something?), but wasn't planning to replace it with anything similar.

It appears that accounts are exiting Twitter en mass. Would you come to an application designed by The Intellectualist that emphasized community and rewarded factualness and good-faith engagement? Please tell us below.

@cligie1 @OffThePress1 You need to seek professional psychiatric help.

@OffThePress1 Satan is throwing on more wood on the eternal fire that is awaiting Kamala the Slut.

WATCH: Harris Mocked Over Another New Accent As ‘Pastor Kamala’

@FantasyBosco @KatrinaWTE @PettyLupone Where is this documentation?

@KatrinaWTE @PettyLupone Even though we have documentation. Proving the admin she worked in silenced accounts on social media for disagreeing. Do yall sit around sniffing each others farts?

“Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her” is one of the most powerful statements made yet in support of this ticket. Thank you, Harrison Ford. 🗳️💙

@TeamTrump Some metrics to help you see what Biden's economy was like compared to Trump's, so you can see the reality rather than the imaginary:

KAMALA DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY - NOW SHE WANTS A PROMOTION! She stood with Biden on EVERY decision. When I’m back in the White House, we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE! #BringBackTrump
