Really enjoyed the following post-skit (that I think is basically the alternative, if you insist people have to see what the corporation wants to push in your face):

  normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends
  tech weirdo: and shitheads
  np: no just my friends
  tw: but what about hearing alternative views on race and gender?
  np: we just want to hang out and goof around
  tw: so where do the shitheads fit in then
  np: no shitheads
  tw: not following

Given that this White House is so so so proud of their king shitting on people's heads, the word choice here could not have been better. The White House is perhaps the most needed to block evil people out there, aiming for it, again and again: Miyazaki AI comes out and an old lady in handcuffs crying is what that's for.

These people deserve no voice, no presence in society, except as a warning mark in the history books for what rot abounds from decoupled extremely online vicious edgelording. Which is all too effective and engagement schtick, that doesn't deserve attention.

The thing with the cliche tech-bros is they know barely anyone likes them so they force-feed their slop to everyone in the hope they manage to reach the one village idiot that every village in human history has had.

I can't think of anything the White House under this administration would post on social media that is simultaneously (1) at least somewhat truthful, (2) concerns something that is of interest to me, and (3) will not be covered by other sources I read or follow.

You seem to think social media should be a marketplace of ideas. I just want to read stuff I like.

Just Dance Vance's shitposting doesn't even qualify as "ideas".

A market place of ideas also means having people sharing their best ideas in good faith, not poop-bombing AI videos.

The deranged antics of the current US administration and its sycophants are beyond echo chambers.
