I don’t want to have two algorithm based posts back to back but Twitter has been really pissing me the fuck off lately. However, through Twitter’s bad algorithm of showing “posts you’re interested in” I’ve noticed a giant trend that I think is doing a lot of harm to people. I believe the damage it is doing is way bigger than what people think. What’s interesting is the first time I noticed this was from STEM people I followed, but with Twitter’s busted algorithm I’ve noticed it’s much wider spread than I thought. What is it?

Happy New Years everyone! I know it is has been a while since my last post. I shall start the new years with a new real post! What will I talk about? Well, let’s talk about political con artists. I want to focus on con-servatives most of all. Also why con-servatives are easier to sniff out opposed to grifting liberals. Look, it’s not as easy to come up with an insult for the grifters on the left.
