The Twitter Files Part 2 Hits the 'Net

Also, an Emergency Meme Drop

Not much time until after my weekend travel, but it’s worth mentioning that tonight, part two of the Twitter Files dropped, courtesy of Bari Weiss:

THREAD: THE TWITTER FILES PART TWO. TWITTER’S SECRET BLACKLISTS.

The thread details what all the “conspiracy theorists” were saying while it was happening — Twitter was shadow banning (called “Visibility Filtering”) people based on their inconvenient political viewpoints.

I’ve written article after article about this, but while I was frantically uploading my ‘banned’ videos before taking off, I came across this absolute masterpiece. Take another watch, knowing what Twitter was up to before the 2020 election:

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS THIS IS THE KIND OF STUFF THAT COULD SWING AN ELECTION!

Wait, now this is old news totally not worth talking about at all — because of who was benefiting from the censorship.

Also, regarding the first drop of The Twitter Files, it turns out that Swamp denizen (and former FBI lawyer) James Baker went through — and deleted some of — the files before they were turned over to Taibbi and other reporters. Baker was promptly fired, with Elon Musk stating that Baker’s excuse was “not convincing.”

The story just keeps getting better and better!

Also, I stumbled across some “lost” memes that simply must be shared before they expire:

Fun fact: My meme folder got so unwieldly I had to separate it — what better way to do so than “Cat” and “No Cat”? Here, we take from the Cat folder.

Finally, this is actually in my bathroom right now. For real.
