Goodbye to the Once and Former Shitty Crustpunk Bar - EmptyWheel

Please read to understand why Democratic UnderGround should not be posting links to twitter content.

Unfortunately, Elon Musk figured out how to get inside this OODA loop.

He bought the bar. He was simply faster at doing this than Paul Singer was back in 2019.

And now the once-beloved shitty crustpunk bar which many of us could comfortably call home is now a goddamned Nazi pub.

The longer you stay there, the more that shit rubs off on you: you’re one of the Nazi watering hole’s patrons.

You’re a Nazi by association.

and has already shown itself to be a channel for hate and misinformation.

I also worry about news organizations relying on twitter feeds to replace their own investigations and reporting.
