57. Could "Latest Trump BS" be extended some way to incorporate the BS from Musk?

Thu Dec 26, 2024, 05:47 PM

Thursday

It's usually as trolly and distracting as anything Trump spouts. At the moment they overlap, and that may change, but I don't know how long you envisage these new forums lasting, and adjustments to developing reality could be made.

On the much-maligned Twitter, the amount I read about or from both Musk and Trump is every limited because of the way I have it set up. If I feel the need to check out what they're up to, I can search there or visit a hashtag there, and hell mend me if I do. Otherwise, I see far more about them on DU than I do on Twitter, and that's been the case for a long, long time. And those OPs usually seem to get the most attention.
