Disaster averted... for now.
But that demoon elf on the shelf watches and controls the #media / #disinformation in #Muskville and beyond.
President #MuskVirus - powered by #TrumpVIrus and enabled by lack of any constraints or allegiance to #reality / #truth
#Truth in #media #disinformation. - ABC bending the knee for #TrumpVirus
Sadly, I've removed ABC Nightly "News" from my daily routine. A Bulls*t **C*ompany. Shameful.

It must seem so easy to maintain fear and power by having fake enemies everywhere... but now, enemies within?
Define your terms and we'd pull through. It's lies, doublespeak, fearmongering and #disinformation - plus ego & pathology.
Ah, the incoming "enemy".... What say you, Pogo?
Just when you think it can’t get weirder or more dysfunctional …
So, just who is calling the shots/pulling the strings? (Elon? Vlad? #Project2025 ? #brainspurs on steroids?)
A fair and important question.
Anyone remember long ago - in the days before #MuskVirus - when Sir stood dancing silently with stars in his 'mind' for what seemed like forever (at a "rally"!) or imitated sex w/ a microphone (or flag), or spoke of Washington (George) taking airports?! Or a virus "hoax"?

Meanwhile... I've been drilling down on the Kerfuffle over "Morning Joe" and sidekick house-calling on Sir...
Not privy to what actually went on down in the swamps of Mar-a-lago, nor the context of whose idea it was, the goal, the "fear" or "service" or $$ - (or stay out of jail cards?) justifying the effort, etc. etc....
Right now there are many big discussions - reactions, & reflections - about #MSNBC, &/or its management or individual journalist/reporters - and same for CNN, NBC, Fox, et al - plus the nonstop #disinformation from the bubbles of #Truth #X , and the sacred podcasts of #doublespeak spew from the Ministry of " #Truth ". Plus occasional #BrainSpur - induced #WordSalad" proclamations.
And of course - widening the lens - "the press" writ large is now anticipating the incoming dynasty of Lord #TrumpVirus and his Senators of #insanity and #nihilism, our new arbiters of #reality as sold on their own media platforms in #GQP world &or #Muskville
So I'll let Jon Stewart tie it all up.
I ended up following the wormhole of #media bias and #corporate #propaganda, etc... and ended "here".
With some context and a video, along with a much-needed smile. Enjoy!
"Verrry interesting.... and not funny"
Jokes. jokers, and the Trump card....

#TrumpVirus and his #MAGAts sure have been giving swamps a bad name! Swamps are beautiful places - without them.
So now the #Swamp creatures from #nihilism / #media hell, have drained the ca$h from We the People, while 'canceling' #Truth.
They're eating our pets! Our #values... #Democracy, reality, civility, #respect, #law, etc. Spewing #GQP #cult #disinformation

"Freaking at #Ukrainians without giving them a chance to speak isn’t a fair fight," Kuleba wrote on X.
"If you ever feel like having a real conversation, let’s sit down and chat about anything Ukraine-related – dragons included. You know your stuff, I know mine. Cigars on me," he added.

Stephen King just announced he can no longer stomach X/Twitter and is gone (to Threads), many others joining the exodus.
Here's a post reacting to King, which in turn (for the #psychology - #media - #socialscience - #socialmedia of it) has a quite interesting thread of reaction, both the "patriots" celebrating the 'return' of #truth & the vanquishing of libs, w/others agreeing, or not.
#StephenKing just publicly left " #Twitter " given how #X has become a dumpster & doublespeak/ #disinformation booster, while muting 'leftists".
As a social scientist/psychologist I'm fascinated by not only the morphing of the Ministry of " #Truth " / #TrumpVirus but by the conversation there now, E.g., reaction on the thread of this post. A lot of "you libs are back in the minority" and "Twitter was a liberal pit" kind of "patriot" posts. Elon just smiles (or maybe works on his jump shot). 🤮🤒

The Kremlin has denied reports that President-elect Donald Trump spoke directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone on Nov. 7, branding the claim " pure fiction."
Washington Post (WP) citing sources familiar with the matter, reported on Nov. 10 that the call took place, claiming Trump advised Putin not to escalate the war in Ukraine, and highlighted Washington’s significant military presence in Europe.
Speaking on Nov. 11, #Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed the reports.
"This is the most vivid example of the quality of the information that is now published, sometimes even in fairly respected publications," he told Interfax.
"This is completely untrue. This is pure fiction, this is just false information."
