@gordon_alive @PaulMSherman @m3lonh3ad This is one of the things. I’ll never understand about this hell site. Why can’t you just say oh my bad. He obviously knows more about the law than you.

@PaulMSherman @m3lonh3ad Yes. He has know there’s a substantial risk and consciously disregard it. Thanks Mr. Bar Bri.

There are four types of posters defending the Comey indictment: 1. People who know the meaning of 86, know it was not a threat, and are lying to signal loyalty to their tribe. 2. People who had never heard the term “86” and live in a right-wing echo-chamber run by group 1. …

@michaelbd People who took French in high school school will know the national anthem. Or at least I do.

Besides American NHL fans what other subgroups on Earth are likely to know another nation’s anthem in its entirety?

@ThrowawaySign @LordHardThrashe @Ali_ibn_Snafu Nobody seperates children. Whatever in holy hell that means. It is a civil violation to cross the border. Not a criminal one. They are just being mean to make an example of people because morons like you think brown ppl are reason they are unhappy. That’s not why tho

@LordHardThrashe @Ali_ibn_Snafu Literally every country in the history of mankind seperates children from their criminal parents. Are you suggesting we put the children in jail too? Or that being a mother should be a get out of jail free card?

I got a comment a while back about how the UK was less free than the USA...which I wasn't sure was true, so dug around turns out the UK is freer than the US and 'everyone is saying it' Freedom in the World index 2026 - UK 92/100, USA 81/100 1/5

@ColleenGeddert1 @BenSasse lol. It’s a long story…

@BenSasse Golly, what on earth am I missing out on?! I’ve been SO appreciative of Mr. Sasse for years..and I’m Canadian. Have sent his latest Pelly interview around to many of my ppl, here up North. However, I feel as though I’m missing the point to this feed. Please inform me?!:)

@ShaneTuttleNCAA Is it to Mordor? Oz? Where will his path lead?

Diego Pavia posts and deletes a message on his IG story: “F*ck the nfl / I write my own path” Pavia was undrafted by all 32 teams in this year’s NFL Draft

@nicholadrummond @BalticSnowTiger Badass. One thing. Donald Trump is obviously not better than this. He never has been better than this. And now we will see him be worse than this.

@VividVocalVixen @MaxNordau @nikitabier This legitimately made me laugh out loud. I’m not sure if it’s worse for the barista’s or the pigeons.

@MaxNordau @nikitabier They can say Israel is training baristas to rape palestinian pigeons for all I care, as long as theyre not getting paid for it.

Everybody knew that Jvnior would say that Israel did it, and he delivered like he always does. Well done on the demonetization @nikitabier

@jaredlandry @overlordhorus @foryouillwaitt @NFL_DovKleiman It’s the cold, hard truth, bro

@overlordhorus @foryouillwaitt @NFL_DovKleiman No one wants a hobbit qb.

Heartbreaking: Vanderbilt star QB Diego Pavia becomes the first Heisman finalist since 2014 to go undrafted. Pavia invited all his friends and family to watch the draft together in hopes of getting a call. The setup for his draft party 😔💔

@overlordhorus @foryouillwaitt @NFL_DovKleiman Awww. So cute 🥰. Lmao

@foryouillwaitt @NFL_DovKleiman His Ego wrote checks his talent couldn’t cash. And this didn’t help

@karol @EWErickson To tell you the truth, I don’t think the man is a pedophile. But I don’t understand why he’s putting so much effort into blocking everything about the Epstein files. And I’m really not a conspiracy theorist. But it needs to be answered.

"I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes." This would be a great time for Democrats to admit Trump is not actually a pedophile, rapist or traitor. Just telling the truth would go a long way to reducing the insanity.

@karol @EWErickson So you guys feel like we should just allow Trump to call us everything but children of God and anything that we say back needs to have a certain amount of decorum? He called all Democrats enemies of the people. He called the press the same thing. This is the bed that he has made

@tiredofinterne1 @EWErickson Hear hear. No politician would have thought of calling the press in the opposing side enemies of the people. Donald Trump started this and we warned about it.

@EWErickson Will Trump reflect on allowing that discourse and participating in it himself? Probably not

Will any of the reporters who were there last night and contributed to the authoritarian, totalitarian, democracy is threatened, will he go for a third term rhetoric reflect on the role they played that led to last night? Probably not.

@EWErickson What did you guys expect when he started calling the press and Democrats the enemy of the American people?!?! no politician talked like that until he did. We told you that you guys were starting something and you all just mouth breathed your way through it. This is the something

@ianmiles It’s almost as if, gasp, a town Square was never Elon’s purpose in buying this hell site

The X algorithm is broken, and it's killing the platform from the inside out. It's gotten measurably worse, and it now barely registers something as fundamental as how many people chose to follow you. Small accounts can't grow organically. Large accounts watch their reach collapse month over month. Post too much and you're throttled. Post too little and you're forgotten. There is no winning move because the system isn't designed for anyone to win. It's designed to keep everyone anxious, posting more, and dependent on whatever the model decided that morning. I'm personally down 95% from a year ago. Ninety-five percent. I get more views and replies on Instagram with 20,000 followers than I do here with a following many multiples of that. Every serious creator, journalist, and news account I know is reporting the same collapse. This isn't a handful of cranks complaining but a structural failure visible in the numbers across the entire creator class. The damage runs deeper than impressions. The algorithm has quietly redefined what kind of person you're allowed to be on this platform. If you stay relentlessly inside one "niche," you get rewarded. If you post like an actual human being with multiple interests — politics, tech, gaming, culture, memes — you get punished. The system literally works against diversity of thought, which is supposed to be the entire point of a town square. It funnels everyone into narrower and narrower lanes until creators stop being people and start being content categories. The user experience is just as broken as the creator experience. Imagine subscribing to a dozen tech and science channels on YouTube and being shown unrelated slop instead. That's the For You feed now. Most of the accounts on my timeline are random accounts I never asked to see, while the people I actually chose to follow get buried. The "systems-first" approach the team is so proud of has turned a social network into a slot machine and the engagement numbers everyone is whispering about in group chats prove the experiment isn't working. Here's the part nobody at X seems willing to say out loud: followers used to be social capital, and the algorithm has retroactively devalued every account on the platform. All of us, aside from the legacy celebrities who arrived with audiences pre-built, clawed our way up from zero. We posted through the woke years, the bot waves, the policy changes, the verification chaos. We built something. And then one day a model decided our followers don't really count anymore. Treating creators this way is the digital equivalent of how communist regimes treat entrepreneurs: confiscate the value they built, redistribute it to whoever the central planner prefers this week, and call it fairness. It also makes no business sense. Creators are not a cost center on this platform — we are the platform. The reason anyone opens the app is because someone they want to hear from is here. When you suppress that signal in favor of algorithmic guesses, you don't just hurt creators — you train users to leave. People are already migrating their best work to Substack, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, where follower relationships still mean something. X is speedrunning the same mistake every dying platform makes: confusing engagement metrics with actual loyalty. The fix isn't complicated: Give us back a real Following feed that respects the explicit choice users made when they hit the follow button. Let the For You tab handle discovery — that's its job — but stop overriding the social graph people built deliberately. Make follower count weight something meaningful again. Stop punishing topical range. Stop boosting unverified randoms over accounts users have actively opted into. And stop pretending an opaque ranking model is more legitimate than the user's own stated preferences. X is supposed to be the free speech platform. But suppression by algorithm is still suppression — it just has better PR. If the team is serious about this being a town square, the people who showed up and built it deserve to actually be heard by the audiences they earned. Fix the algorithm. Give followers back their meaning. Let creators be human again.

@jrgoob @3YearLetterman Niiiiice. See what u did there

@3YearLetterman with all due respect, coach, these are honest, hard-working americans. real salting-the-earth types.

Please give me all the links to grifters crying about X payouts This is the greatest thing since country of origin

@naopJLFVRh23445 @LizMair Damn, I should have scrolled further because I just said this exact thing hours later lol

@LizMair Literally Biden got more hostages out than Trump lmao and the Abraham Accords is easy peasy: you just cut out one of the main stakeholders and make a deal with the rest why did no one else do it? because then that stakeholder will lash out (see: October 7, totally predicted)

These guys got us the Abraham Accords and a lot of hostages back. Look, I find it weird that this is true. But it is true. Meanwhile, Biden did a unilateral, uncoordinated pullout from Afghanistan that fucked our allies in the country and region and was a diplomatic disaster.

@tedperl @LizMair Dear God, thank you for saying this. It seems to have been lost by most people that this just completely ignores the Palestinians in every way. And probably led to October 7 if anybody wants to know the truth.

@LizMair The Abraham Accords was based on the premise that the Palestinian issue could be ignored. History will not look kindly on that judgement.

@sapphirecyan333 @benedictsred Anti bouldite bastard

We need a slur for rock climbers

@olov103404 @NoContextHumans I’ll concede that point

@ecdillard1112 @NoContextHumans One was talented, the other was not, so it average out to mid

Scientists from the University of Manchester have reconstructed a 3D model of Cain and Abel, the first two sons of Adam and Eve.

Has anyone noticed how Trump has stopped comparing his wonderful policies against Joe Biden‘s crooked ridiculous policies and has started comparing them to Obama? Why would you imagine that is?
