RIP

Yeah I said something similar yesterday but we can NOT let what happened to Renee Good cloud what happened to everyone else at the hands of these SS Demons!!!

Boycotting everything all at once, for one day or for as long as you can, because everything is terrible and we’re mad about it…does nothing. It’s vague, disorganized, and frankly impossible. We have to buy things sometimes. You can’t just target the economy as a whole. You have to be specific.

Lent isn't 40 days (It's about 45 or so because Sundays Don't Count (tm)) and it leads up to Easter. It's a seasonal buying period for Easter Eggs which are actually (ironically, considering) a pretty big commercial deal. So not only is it a boycott, but it's a boycott that does a shot of extra damage because Easter eggs only sell well until Easter.

It's also specifically playing on a Christian holiday to send a message to a company about disapproving their non-christian ideals. Because puritan all you want, Jesus (an Arabic, Jewish man from Nazareth) was pretty dang clear on the "don't judge others, you dick."

You do not need your Twitter.

Twitter is not the boost you think it is anymore.

I have seen at least 6 people I follow on BlueSky saying they have looked into their numbers and compared to Twitter? BSky gives them over double the exposure and follow through for outside links (probably because Twitter kills your tweet if you have links).

Twitter is testing a feature to allow other users to click a button attached to your posts to put your art into their Grok ai and make ai art with it without your permission automatically.

It is marking non-ai art as being made with Grok (probably to promote it).

You do not need Twitter.

Twitter needs you.

I posted my videos and reposted and boosted them on that platform for years, I had over 30k followers on one account, and 10k on another. How many actual views on my actual videos did this promotional effort translate into? Barely over 2000 views on my channel...

in an entire year!

Every social media with a For You algorithm is designed, fundamentally, to make you engage ON the platform, and NOT engage anywhere OFF the platform. This is not unique to Twitter, but Twitter is uniquely worthless as a means to drive traffic, conversation or interest to literally anywhere else on the internet.

If you try to drive engagement on Twitter, you can get tens of thousands of retweets on a viral post, but barely a few dozen clickthroughs to your stream, your new video, your Patreon, your whatever.

And for those insignificant returns you have to endure the endless pornbots, the endless genAI spam accounts, and the triumphant rampage of fucking bluecheck Nazis who may descend on your post at any moment, and who you can't even fucking properly block anymore.

It's not worth it. As a business decision, it simply is not worth it.

I know you might have your old group DMs on there, or maybe it's where you have your shitposting community, or people who you want to keep in touch with, and I understand that. So if you're going to stay on Twitter, stay on Twitter for THAT. Do not delude yourself into believing its necessary for your business or your livelihood, because it just isn't anymore. Literally any other social media will give your work better visibility, and better chances at driving traffic.

He actually might.

“I know basic gun safety isn’t a threat to my rights. It’s about keeping our kids safe,” Walz said last month about his evolution on the issue. “I had an ‘A’ rating from the NRA. Now I get straight ‘F’s.’ And I sleep just fine.”

He was beloved by the NRA. When Parkland happened, his daughter was 17. She asked him to do more. I guess he doesn't do shit by half because not only reformed gun control, he donated all the money the NRA ever gave him to charity, and now has straight Fs. In 2016 he was a 'top 20 politician for guns' He turned it that fast.

I know this is the website of catholic guilt structures, but the idea of a politician that changes their mind, doesn't pretend it was different before, admits he was wrong, and then gets shit done? I adore that.
