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.

2020 was like watching people lose traction and slide down a hill, here people are just floating in space, complete disorientation.

Absolutely terrifying. It reminds me of the horror of being on Facebook, and watching old liberals slowly be converted into Trumpists as they re-tweeted crazy xenophobic memes. Some of them also converted to evangelical, apocalypse-hungry Christianity. 🥺

I’ve used this language on FB as a stand-alone candle: If you're sharing images or video of what you think is from Gaza without providing photo/video credits, you're not explicitly acknowledging that someone risked their life to record news in the middle of a war.

This past week was when I finally accepted Twitter, as we knew it, isn't coming back.

Make *no* mistake: Heir Musk >wants< it this way...as do his financiers/backers (in Putin, the Saudis, & China). They recognize what a powerful, dopamine-driven propaganda platform can do for their 'narratives' and manufactured consent. He has become a *serious* white-hot national security risk.

Yes. It's a horror show. I'm only going there for movie live tweets. Everything else, and very nearly everyone, is so broken.
