Kling is correct, and every study and watchdog group have proven it.

Back in our day we had rapper beefs.

Today, it's YouTuber beefs.

I'm not a fan of doxing. That's why I'm putting the tweet in a spoiler tag and behind a URL. Only putting it here as I'm sure one might be curious about his posts.

I thought about putting this in the moron thread because the guy is absolutely a jackass, but I think it's more appropriate here.

Pro Tip: Anonymity on SM only goes so far. If people really want to find you, they probably will. Also, if you value your military and lawyer careers, maybe don't threaten law enforcement?

Mark Cuban says Bluesky is failing because of a lack of diversity of thought.

Fucking duh? Not ripping Mark, but it's exactly what people said would happen and has been the primary complaint among users there...well that and the child porn/pedo activists.

Echo chambers are bad.

Unless you're talking about attractive women. And even then you need some diversity of taste otherwise people can end up in bitter blood feuds over the last women on Earth. Which is where Catt and I will be once the zombie apocalypse or an alien invasion happens. You know, unless we're invaded by hot women who are just looking to get laid, and then Catt and I will save the world.

You're welcome.

Apparently this is the SM person who talked a homeless woman into jumping into a lake off a dock, and then ran away when the women started struggling and saying she couldn't swim. (The woman was saved by others.) She got banned from TikTok, lost a bunch of followers, and there's an embarrassing video of her outside TikTok HQ begging to be reinstated.

Now there's this below.

SM created a whole bunch of people who thought acting like cunts in public was a career.

This happened a few weeks back and I meant to post, but just came across the tab where I had saved it.

TLDR:
-JD Vance joins Blueskyy, "home of tolerance and intelligent discussion". A place whose denizens promote how much better they are than everyone else because they're so open minded and devoid of hate and bigotry.
-Blueskyy bans him almost immediately, but they reinstate him pretty quickly. (I would wager the ban was a mod who was quickly overruled by corporate.)
-JD posts a very inoffensive statement and welcomes discussion and debate.
-Over 30K Blueskyy users immediately block him. Just a reminder kids, if you cannot hear the other side or share spaces with them, you're the asshole.
In other SM news, the TikTok sale is pretty close to happening.

Trump's hyperbole aside, the companies have been in discussions and insiders are saying it does appear to be happening. (Per my tech news pod.)

TikTok is also getting a new app that will be mandatory.
