It might be the worst I've ever seen it, at least on Twitter, and I was a misinformation researcher during the 2020 election. It's not only the misinfo, it's the firehose of unvetted video and claims, until you can't tell which way is up.

Good news. I'm looking forward to being able to read and vote on the proposed deal. Hope that they now can close an acceptable deal with SAG-AFTRA.

I was going to be a lurker for a while but I got tired of 0 posts count on my profile. I hate introductions so I will just put this nonsense as a place holder. Cheers.
