Yeah, the Far Left. I've seen them active on this thread. Well, trying. They're mostly being ignored.

The responses to this from many are really showing what kind of person they are..

Sadly true.

the republicans were celebrating when Nancy Pelosi's husband got a hammer on the head, so this isn't a one sided phenomena

Yes that goes for anyone who celebrates someone getting hurt or worse.

I personally didn't see that, nor did I read endless gleeful, appalling posts online. I mean, it's not like the poison I'm seeing online right now evens things up in some odd way.

it was pretty awful Livia, but remember that Nancy's husband wasn't even in politics, he was just attacked at their home. So, it was republicans gleefully celebrating an attack that left the man disabled to this day.

It's an escalating thing, that's clear to me, and nobody is going to "win" from it, it just shows how awful politics is over there

I don't think that many people liked Nancy Pelosi on the progressive side either ,... but you're not wrong or anything.


Many democrats have toned down on average imo, but the party is definitely split with certain politicians carefully selecting their language (ie Gavin Newsom) to take advantage of increasing rhetoric, but still have an out.

I suspect it's many more of those in the party itself though that are starting to see it's not helping them at all electorally in the polls to fashion themselves around these figures. So there's a slow change in temperature there as more people seem to accept that there's no road for this to continue if there is any hope for progressive views to remain mainstream politically...

That shouldn't be the primary motivator for determining the strength of rhetoric coming from any party, but that's been the trend. The Democrats have always been generations ahead of Republicans when it came to being communicators, especially the utilization of social media. They've always been better masters at managing their own messaging. But now right-leaning folk and Republicans have learned from and dissected these tactics and so seem to have mastered countering them. So imo, we've been looking at two parties that were working against themselves trying to avoid a complete reform from the public.. the Republican party managed to tackle this sooner out of existential necessity. Democrats I think are struggling with remaking themselves within the new status quo as they're forced to own tendencies within their own party that are really damaging to them politically...

Alabama State University locked down Thursday after what the university said was a “terroristic threat” directed at the Montgomery campus.

“While law enforcement remains on campus, we have made provisions for students to return to their residence halls and have access to meals for the remainder of the day,” the HBCU said in a statement. “All other campus activities have been cancelled.”

Okay, I'm going to let you into a little secret... Sometimes I look but just for my own amusement. Like, I saw the posts where you claimed can't skip through or bypass a video but have to watch it in its entirety. You're hilarious, although it's unintentional.

Didn’t say that at all. Maybe your reading skills are as bad as your bed side manner.

Maybe go back and have a read again.

Yes. On X, if multiple people share the same video and you scroll past different posts containing it, the video reloads in each post.

If the posts use the same embed of the video (same tweet ID), X sometimes keeps the playback position across appearances in your feed.
• If the video was natively uploaded once and people are retweeting or quoting that original post, it will usually resume where you left off.

For rustigal and Livia. I hope this clears it up for you. Seemed to be having a hard time understanding.

We're the product if the social media platform is free. They take the data and every little interaction, build an algorithm on top of it and then sell off or utilize the data for both business and political purposes... Elon is making money from currying influence and having that much access to our private data and controls over both algorithms and the way things are measured (metrics).. it gives him a lot of clout when making deals outside of the network and that is putting his thumb on the scale...

Edit: All forms of display on a website/computer are manipulated by nature so the data collected is easier to interpret. Sometimes they're manipulated in very subtle ways and that can play a big influence over how we both interpret and internalize what we read/see... it's called "dark patterns" in UI/UX.

I stay off it because of its graphic content. Thats why I use Youtube. I once saw a beheading video, pressed play all by myself. Sat there on my computer, big screen. It effected me for months.

But funny thing is, YouTube is where I saw the whole Iryna Zarutska video. I thought it would have been paused just before the strike. 8 know that's going to effect me for a few weeks. Her tiny frame, her shock, and disbelief and almost acceptance of her fate is something that is going to be hard to shift.



Your post though, very insightful. I regularly delete my viewing and search history just so I can start at tje begining againil if I'm going to far down a rabbit hole.
