Lying in bed sick and reading this and honestly I might now be on the mend from laughing so hard. Laughter is some kind of cure, right? I’m dying… in the good way. “Skeet…” 😂😂😂 Tthis has to be a movie. The satire is just so good.
Ok, that made me laugh out loud! And sure enough, three white-men-for-Harris style doods I work with (one of whom was a literal theatre kid) all turned tail to Bluesky last week, to get away from the "hate fest" of X. Sad, sad, sad. They REALLY don't want to ever confront an alternate point of view.
Of course, I have to keep my mouth shut because we all work for an uber-woke tech company, so nobody even knows I voted for Trump. I just nod along as they bemoan the horrible election results. The poor, frightened top 2% laptop classes! They are the REAL victims here!
Your writing is that gnarly foot that, lo and behold, that fits the glass slipper. You get at things with insight and humor (and underlying dread lol) in a way no normie reading of life under falling skies ever could. Huzzah!
I think that hundreds of years from now, historians will write (skeet?) about the conservative takeover of Twitter in the same way any other famous battle is spoken of. What has happened on Twitter in the last few years has been nothing short of world-changing. The breadth of media landscape that was defeated, occupied, and resettled is unprecedented in all human history. I would compare it to the spread of Christianity or Islam, but rather than centuries, it took a few years.
Fascinating observation. But people have long said that an actual invasion of the USA is impossible, it would have to be conquered via infiltration and propaganda. So wars of words and ideologies would require control of platforms to propagandize both, and that's exactly what we've seen. Thank you very much for your intriguing comment!
Skeet?! Oh, they knew what they were doing with that one. I miss the good old Myspace days. We were all so young and innocent and still had solid real life relationships with one another.
Interesting theory. With Trump as Prez, that's kinda fascist ackshully, so I don't see that happening until he's out of the White House (tho you didn't say when it would occur). Thank you for your intriguing comment!
He'll obviously turn everything over to his kids while serving. I don't see how it's fascist since there will still be competing options, but then again, there's too many definitions of what fascism is these days, rather than the actual definition.
I go with Mussolini's: "Fascism is corporatism, the marriage of business and the State." You can have "competing options" in the early days of a nation turning fascist. You could probably even argue Musk/Space X is fascist. I wouldn't, but you could. Thank you for your comments!

Not within skeeting distance! I'm dying.
"Bluesky ain’t in skeeting distance."

Maybe you can create a chatbot with all your adjectives so they can be more easily and widely used.
Tom, reading you is like riding a hurricane into a funhouse where the mirrors break and you come out bloody and smiling. Better even. Diamonds, man.
Holy cats, that's a doozy of a compliment! Thank you so much!

I always tell my kids, I'm so old, I remember when social media was light and fun.
Haha! “I am just here to watch the carnage” skeeted Ms. Alice Roberts. How perfect. Thank you, good sir. May I have another?
as a former Madison Avenue guy, I'll take your opinion to the bank!

Thank you for this! Have a nice long weekend (hopefully long for you).
Thanks. You as well.
If you're skeeting on Bluesky, your name should be Peter North.
I'm pretty sure X and Truth Social will merge. Trump is buying a crypto company. Elon has DOGE. It all fits.

But it's not like he's taking over ALL social media. We're already under fascism anyways, they just don't call it that.
What amazing !abundant affable alluring appropriate august alliteration
I can't believe they're gonna go with skeet. How stupid do they have to be?
Great stuff~! you cracking me up! got it exactly right.
