Care to elaborate? The game had an early access and the official release has been incredibly well polished with few bugs that are already being patched out

I know you’re just repeating talking points and not actually advocating for one side or the other, but I do want to provide some balance to this part

use their influence to withhold international aid and pressure a foreign government to kill a corruption investigation into the company that you just so happen to sit on the board of

The corruption investigation in Ukraine was being lead by an investigator, Viktor Shokin, who was himself so corrupt that he drew international condemnation (before this investigation was even opened)

Multiple western governments, including the Obama administration, had demanded he be replaced for failing to prosecute corruption cases, and Ukrainian investigators and anti-corruption watchdogs have said that Shokin was fired because he had made no progress in the fight against corruption.

What a nasty old man

I agree with this sentiment but I think the real issue with this change is that Twitter Blue subscribers get their content’s visibility boosted. Without the blue checkmark visible, it’s impossible to tell who had their content boosted through organic engagement, and who paid for it

The Twitter Blue subscribers are not getting mocked for paying to remove ads. They are mocked for paying money to have their voices cary more weight. And they are paying that money to a company that as of late has supported CSAM, racism, and vaccine disinformation.

He was south of the Mason-Dixon Line, but back then that line divide free states and slave owning states. Only in more recent times has it become known as a divide between north and south.

Maryland was a slave owning state but it never seceded or joined the Confederacy. It was very much so caught in the middle of the Union and Confederacy

Lincoln didn’t have a secretary called Kennedy. His secretaries were named John G. Nicolay and John M. Hay

Booth was born in 1838, not 1839

Booth was a confederate sympathizer but was not a southerner. He was born in Maryland.

This stuff is really easy to fact check…

It’s ok, at least it’s just a website. Would be different if he was designing something like… oh idk… a car that people trust with their lives to drive itself. Or even a massive rocket carrying astronauts and valuable cargo.

They are releasing that under a more expensive subscription option. Wish I was joking
