I don't even know who this guy is, but your screenshot plus a quick search says this guy added one forged document to a collection of legitimate documents released from the Heartland Institute. That was certainly not the right thing to do, but let's at least be fully honest about it.
Exactly, the title is as at least misleading. They mention only one scientist with not that Cristal clear reputation. X is wild west of astroturfing but at least it's better to be honest
The size of Twitter’s user base and its ubiquitous use by celebrities and the media gave the platform an air of legitimacy that is what Musk vaporized his billions to get. He obviously didn’t value the brand or the workforce.
We need that false sense of legitimacy to keep getting chipped away in the eyes of mainstream society.
Honestly not sure why anybody gives two fucks about celebrities anyways, some are okay but the underground scene has the realist people, because they live in the real world. Seeing through the illusions that what people think or believe in regards to some highly regarded opinions because somebody is popular due to 'pop culture' is a blessing. I say let Elon Musk have them. I'm not going to read it. Only twitter I read is the twitter cross-post spam of screenshots people post.
Zuckerberg telling us all what we already knew about being pressured to censor COVID, Hunter Biden, and whatever other posts goes to show left is evil, right is swinging around monkey bars like school children. Social media is a giant playground where everybody's being swayed by their emotions and being tricked and lead around likes horses.
It's crazy.
At least Elon's having fun with it all.
Ever since Nitter died I haven't paid any attention to anything on musks' little fiefdom at all.
I wish the political economics guys would move... I really miss Tim Sahay/70sbachchan & Mark Blyth.
Nitter died? I've been using it days ago. It's not as before the Twitter's API restrictions, tho, because it started to using data scrapping to fetch Twitter profiles and posts.

It appears to have ceased development. AFAIK it still works if hooked into a "valid" user account, but since I don't have one and am increasingly less likely to consider that path, it's a moot point.
X needs to start getting banned by governments and official governmental channels need to be moving out.
X is such a shitty social network, or at least its really disorganized, I get porn and gore in my home page without following people who share that kind of content, That doesn't happen even in 4chan
Wow 4chan really changed huh
