  • I bookmark all sorts of social media stuff so I can find it easily later. I never thought my system itself would become a pain. But it has thanks to Elon. If I want to find something that I know is a Twitter link - maybe it is. Or it’s a Poast link. Or an xCancel link. Or a Nitter link. Or some Nitter instance that doesn’t have “nitter” in the url. Or it might be Bluesky. My Twitter bookmarks are a mess. And when xCancel dies - I’ll start bookmarking the new site - whatever the hell that’s called.

    I’ll end on a funny note. My favorite Nitter instance was nitter.x86-64-unknown-linux-gnu.zip








  • I agree with Infamousblt. I’ll add that Trump controls messaging at all the important agencies now. You can’t trust a single thing they say. All of the heads of the agencies are stooges and flunkies and will lie about everything because that’s what he wants. And - of course - they’ll take the initiative and add their own lies if they feel it’s helpful to them and/or to Trump.

    I saw an example of this coming from the CDC.

    Wikipedia

    [The 2024-2025 Kansas tuberculosis outbreak] is the largest tuberculosis outbreak in the U.S. since documentation began in the 1950s.

    A CDC spokesperson is sickening and uses PR spin.

    Is the Kansas tuberculosis outbreak the largest in U.S. history?

    Kansas health officials called the outbreak “the largest documented outbreak in U.S. history” since the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began counting cases in the 1950s.

    But a spokesperson for the CDC on Tuesday refuted that claim, noting at least two larger TB outbreaks in recent history. In one, the disease spread through Georgia homeless shelters. Public health workers identified more than 170 active TB cases and more than 400 latent cases from 2015 to 2017. And in 2021, a nationwide outbreak linked to contaminated tissue used in bone transplants sickened 113 patients.
