1. There is a dark disinformation network on X. Charlie Kirk was a BIG part of it. TPUSA funds it.

In the beggining 2021, David Wood began a series of posts tracing how Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Twitter crushed the platform Parler as a rival platform to Twitter on the pretext that Parler allowed itself to be used as a platform for hate speech and to organice the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

"After my initial feeling of being violated, seeing that pompous fool using my creation to stroke his infantile ego, it finally struck me that the leader of my country and the free world actually enjoys comparing himself to a mass murderer."

They’re good about adapting to the times. A few days ago, The Atlantic posted a fascinating tidbit informing us that the MLA had drawn up rules for citing tweets. That’s right, they actually approved the use of Twitter in academic papers. And it’s pretty simple:
Imagine if one of your best friends kept a trunk of of their personality… Their likes, dislikes, photos, home videos, conversations, feelings and secrets. Then out of no-where, when your friend is hit by an airplane, Google comes knocking at your door with the legal right to take, use, and recreate whatever they’d like using what’s in your friend’s trunk. Seems wrong doesn’t it? This is already happening. The biggest culprit has to be facebook. I know I’ve uploaded years worth of data and personality traits to my facebook account that even if I was dead, a stranger could get a sense of who I was and I’m not even a good facebooker.It brings up some very important issues. Added to that, this week I have found out about the trend to doing infographics as videos instead of just an image.
Image via CrunchBaseI hate tIhat people think that Westboro Baptist Church is an example of what being a Christian is. It's Th not. Apparently they are going to protest Steve Jobs' Funeral! It's crazy and stupid and picket a funeral - to say nothing of rude and in bad-taste. It's not what Jesus has commanded us to do or to be. According to this article the following tweet went out.She's right. Not only does it not make since but it's just plain not Biblical or even factual. I'm not aware of Jobs spreading sin, anymore than anyone else. Zutter is kinder than I because I can't even call their thoughts "reasoning".
Mere hours after Steve’s passing, Fred Phelps‘ daughter Margie Phelps took to Twitter to announce that WBC will be picketing Steve’s funeral. Their reasoning? He served himself, not God; and “he had a huge platform,” which probably means that they consider his worldwide influence as a way that he used to disseminate his sinful ways. Or something. It’sbullshit.
A small consolation: Twitter noted that Margie’s tweet came from her iPhone, so at least we can add “hypocrite” to the list of insults about these insane cultists. (Margie’s defense: Rebels mad cuz I used iPhone to tell you Steve Jobs is in hell. God created iPhone for that purpose! :) …That doesn’t even make sense!)
That’s the real problem with attempting to make sense of 9/11 using social media: The former requires deep thought while the latter feeds on immediacy. Ten years and millions of articles after 9/11, we’re still trying to come to terms with what happened that day. We’re still sifting through the debris and our collective emotions in order to find whatever it is we lost, or to explain why things are the way they are now. I have a hard time believing 9/11 tweets or Facebook updates would have changed any of that for the better. And by now they’d be forgotten anyway, buried under 10 years of more shouting into the abyss.
