Meh. Sure, she's gonna be able to leverage some of that stuff into a paycheck, but she squandered the influence of more powerful Republicans and generally acted like a spoiled child. Even MTG has more focus on the evil shit conservatives are doing and that's saying something.

Boebert isn't going to get near as many speaking invites and won't be able to charge anywhere near what other ejected Republicans can. Fucking Mike Flynn and the pillow man can charge more than boobert

I'm pretty sure her TV appearances are mostly going to be Newsmax and OAN.

And honestly, the only reason that CO repububs are being this open about ditching her is because everyone already knows her reelection bid is dead in the water. Dem Adam Frich lost by less than a thousand votes in the midterms and all projections anticipate him handily trouncing her in the next general. Its not because they actually care about her giving handies during Beetlejuice.

Yeah that was obvious horseshit. The county employee he was in conspiracy with took the entire shaft for that. I'm curious as to what Gaetz promised that dude not to flip, because his corroboration was needed to bring the Venmo receipts and some of that other shit out of circumstantial and into real shit.

This is the correct perspective. As it turns out, a huge amount of people that believe Bill Gates is injecting 5G chips into people absolutely don't vote. If you recall, the first amendment nuts in the loser convoys and a bunch of the J6 defendants weren't even registered to vote and yet they screeched election interference. For an election they didn't even bother to vote in.

2020 was one of the highest blue voter turnouts in national history making record first time voters in their 30s and 40s.

So yes, it should be pointed out that everyday people turning out to vote against this brain rot is just as important whether or not magats and human vegetables are voting too.

Right? Depending on the shape of the toilet I find it more frustrating when my balls touch the water or the tip touches the inside of the bowl.

Not shaming OP, but I have to assume maybe their penis is on the...short side and doesn't hang down at all. I'm not packing any excess length by any means, but In order for me to pee on the floor if I'm sitting down, my dick would have to be laying on the toilet seat.

What is really sad though, is a not insignificant amount of the people who should read this can't read above a sixth grade level and would need to spend an hour with a dictionary to comprehend it.

Insert King of the Hill "if those kids could read" meme here.

Dumping Twitter, to start. We've been able to finally get our client to try some new things using IG reels and YT shorts. We've also been able to grab their ear about Reddit, Lemmy, and Mastodon. While they're not fully onboard yet with federated platforms, they're interested, which is a huge step. We've also been pitching more proactive content and getting more support on strategy shifts to have a more conversational back-and-forth with the client's audience. They used to prefer to get people off open comments and into private DMs. We have been pushing them to be more transparent and human with their direct engagement.

I'd argue the opposite. People have been fed up with the mainstream platforms for a long time now. Now that we know how social media grew grassroots terrorism and that the platforms allowed it for ad clicks, I'd say it's a good time to pivot away from the traditional models of the last 15-20 years, move away from the Facebooks and Twitters, and try something new.

Professionally, I lead a team of digital artists and oversee digital marketing efforts for a government client. The chaos and burning out of Twitter and Reddit has been a great time for my team as we've finally been given the latitude to do new work and build new strategies instead of just doing the same bullshit over and over. I've started enjoying work again and my team has been energized because everyday there's something new to overcome. And because the social media ecosystem is so turbulent, it's actually removing the pressure from us because our client understands that we are operating in new territory. Essentially, we are being allowed to fail in the pursuit of innovation.

I'm pumped to be a part of this evolving shift. There's so much potential. Also, I'm selfishly enjoying watching these fucking assholes like Musk flail and burn through billions of dollars as a result of their hubris.

Seriously! A regular shower for me takes around five minutes. With a face shave, it's still less than ten. Wtf else is there to do? Standing there staring at the wall?

Honestly, you should check out Nelly's Nest. Some of the simultaneously most disturbing and inspiring comics on the internet.

Exactly. LinkedIn jobs is incredibly useful. I have also found it useful for helping friends and colleagues find new jobs or make career switches because of the connections I have. I only maintain work connections through LinkedIn as I don't use Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Absolutely, ignore the post feed. It's just capitalist boot fucking. A bunch of fucking losers with made up bullshit in their titles trying to be leadership influencers.

I sincerely vouch for the jobs function, though.
