People fall for hoaxes that appear to validate their existing biases and preferences. That Musk consistently promotes pro-Kremlin propaganda is telling even if it’s unintentional. If. https://t.co/RvTTFsx55a

Also, when he claims that Jews were responsible for 9/11, he wants to be very clear he doesn’t mean ALL Jews. He’s merely claiming that SOME Jews were the secret puppet-masters who were behind the government conspiracy. pic.twitter.com/C0tav5MVlO

Good to see, obviously, and I assume the lunatics spreading conspiracy theories about him (or “just asking questions”) will be humbled and repentant. https://t.co/Vwq6YPcJj5

But I say FAT CHANCE - can't ya see that's a body double?! Plus not a word about the deadly vax! No doubt Pfizer paid for the whole production...

(More seriously, he talks about like 25 fucking doctors, AS IF any normal person would get that attention. Nice as he is,that's a serious problem with our health care system - who gets the attention)

oh and then conspiracies are

In reply to I was just wondering where

oh and then conspiracies are spread about that

You’re telling me that St Thomas Aquinas is trending in the US but #TyreNichols isn’t?? Twitter is being shady af pic.twitter.com/0Z8Ah7IWGR

(Everybody's got to talk about Tyre Nichols now - not just #Memphis, that doesn't count - because after all, CNN is covering him 24/7 and there's no other news or interests in the world - how come Twitter's trending menu is not also overtaken? Eh? Must be Elon Musk! Makes perfect sense! )

I was just wondering where the Damar story went, when lo and behold, I see this in my feed;

Something happens.
Idiots spread rumors.
Media reports on idiots spreading rumors.
Idiots are rewarded, learn to spread more rumors.
“News” monopolized by idiotic rumors.
Repeat.

One of the most fascinating papers I've read for a long time: People dislike their political opponents for views that most don't actually hold. [Preprint; N = 4,993; 1/5.] https://t.co/2V3NxxED7T pic.twitter.com/6onL2LapYN

One for the sports fans:

The @NFL needs Damar to be better quickly. The #NFL coerced players to getting the vax. The NFL doesn’t want to admit they poisoned the entire league. Damar wasn’t at the game. Damar isn’t ok. #DiedSuddendly #vaccines #DamarHamlinStrong

To replace Damar Hamlin with a body double would need Hamlin's family, the hospital that treated him, the NFL, and a lot of media to be in on it, all for no apparent gain.

now here's a paranoid lefty who sees bastard cops everywhere:

The two major parties are focused on fighting one another so they can stay employed and in power. Meanwhile, our communities that they took an oath to serve and protect are suffering.

Enough is enough. It's time to move Forward.

Can't help but noticing the cop rhetoric 'serve and protect'.
— Deplorable Deprogrammer (@Laurian_We) January 26, 2023

It's not "cop rhetoric", it's the oath they all take, the oath they're allowed to ignore when both parties decide it's not in their interest to hold them accountable.
