    MAGA thinks everyone - inside and outside the cult - is dumb. Why would Elon Musk think any differently?

    So that’s it then. Going full Goebbels and repeating a lie over and over until it’s accepted as truth. Nice country we had here.

    My entire news feed is 18-hour-old tweets from people I don't even follow. How do I fix this?

    It's pretty simple, actually. Create lists composed of people you actually want to read. Use them and never go to your main feed. I have them for aviation, my community, weather, and war in Ukraine and I'm happy with what I find in my lists feed.

    I don't really spend a lot of time on Twitter, but I do this too. Sports and trading. Which is why I was shaking my head yesterday at the @Alma "And Twitter is what it is - a beloved treasure of the left" narrative.

    Near as I can tell, there are a boat load of people who use Twitter the way you (and I) do. They have a niche they are interested in, whether it is cars, cooking, marketing, economics, politics, whatever. And they find the active tweeters related to whatever it is they are interested in. I never look at politics tweets; the only time I do is when people post them on here. Just because that is a particular obsession of one person, doesn't mea that is what everyone is getting from Twitter. I think of it more as a gazillion little niches.

    I take the opposite approach and follow everything and everyone.

    Or at least as many everythings and everyones I can keep track of.

    It's a pretty great story generator in that way; and a sometimes infuriating education in other ways of thinking and being.

    I won't go full Soledad, but the wider I cast my net the more interesting the 'net becomes.
