Honestly this should be all politicians need to hear to justify leaving "X" far, far behind. I have been gone from there for over two years now and I waited too long - should have left the day Musk bought it.
An X user asks Elon Musk why they’re seeing tweets from left-wing lawmakers.
Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

It'd be like watching Gogglebox but it's your own security cam. Probably cancelled inside a week.

I've been tinkering with a bit of creative writing for the first time in decades this year, some of which contains politicians.
Good god it is fun to write something that contains politicians I would not just actually vote for, but actively want in power and cheer for when they made a stand.

I am so tired of 24 hour news about small boats. I simply don’t care how many migrants arrive in the UK any more. No matter how many, they’ll never be as big a threat to British values, our way of life, or indeed women‘s safety, as the bigots who make yelling about migrants their entire personality.
