I used to frequently get ideas for stories for my show from Twitter. Then it diminished to "a few." The last two weeks, it's been essentially zero. Something is happening here.

Hi David
How about ways we can reach and connect with the average swing state voter who voted for Dump?
For example, I’ve started https://teamairdrop.org/
To help those voters in very red districts who may be on the fence about Dump find better people to follow like you!
You could cover Elon and Pete Buttigieg. Once again, Pete had to shut down Elon’s blatant and malicious lies. Of course, the resolution got a fraction of the traffic that the lies did. Wait, that’s a fairly normal day now. Never mind.
It's almost as if any news or links to new content there, are being throttled back... Weird Man 😎🤣 I keep reading people are getting more traffic to websites, from bluesky, than Twitter or threads etc.
Tweets don't go anywhere if you don't have a premium account. I am not going to pay for a toxic platform riddled with misinformation, disinformation and unabashed conservative shills.
The problem is you’re still supporting Twitter and some of us are growing tired of cutting slack to those who are. Problem or solution. You pick but you can’t be both.
How does it further your objective (assuming I know what it is) to maintain your account on Musk's cesspool? Seems posting there is either to trigger the brain dead or try to pursuade the unpersurbable. Both seem an exercise in futality.
Your followers appreciate your perspective, not decry it.
Wondering how long it takes to build domestic factories to replace all the imported goods.... also wondering if China will let us use alllll the farm land they bought so we can grow all the tropical foods domestically.... wait .. we can grow coffee right?
It's shocking the lobbying history of Susie Wiles isn't more of a news cycle. The incoming administration is astonishingly close to billionaire agendas. How this resonates with the majority of people who voted republican at top of ticket doesn't make sense. Is it because they don't know?
We are exhausted with daily Trump's news. Diversify - any ideas on how to help w/ current problems - from the experts? Possible solutions? Love your show but it's exhausting to hear so many negative comments - sounding just like the extremist right-wing talk shows. Sorry!
All the obvious reasons aside, Twitter just wasn’t fun anymore. It was too hard for the actually funny people to be heard over the insufferable bluechecks and bots.
Learning about the Chinese Communist Party’s multi-decade whole-of-society unrestricted war, will help with your understanding of why our powerful entities are outright committing treason today:
Gas going up too! 25% tariff on Canada would apply to the heavy crude oil we import from the Canadian oil sands. Remember them freaking out over the Keystone XL?
We need to boycott Tesla. Over 50% of the nation did not vote for Elon and The Donald. I am one of them. Stop buying Teslas and hurt Musk where it counts! MAGAs don't like Electric Vehicles so we can destroy Tesla if no one will buy them. Their quality is crap anyhow!
I believe we need more people to understand US Civics. People talk about the Constitution and their rights, but do they understand the Constitution and their rights? Talk to us like we have never been taught Civics. Many have not been educated.
You’ve heard nearly half of the red states are subsidized by blue states. If programs gets cut red states are up a creek without a paddle.
These red welfare states need to be nicer to blue states.Time to educate & don’t cut the hands that feeds ya. 😃
Can you mention on your show that Musk is now demanding a general election in the UK. This man is trying to rule the world. Pity he’s not outspoken about Putins atrocities.
I'd love to know why the media, for 10 yrs now, has refused to call his blathering a lie and why they also refuse to label him as a liar? Everyone understands a liar tells lies, seems so simple, yet no one does it. Its infuriating
Because those in a cult cannot reason with labels. Labels do not put a dent in their belief system. Corruption and false narratives have to be exposed to break the spell.
I dont give a shit about the cultists. My post is strictly about the media, they say trust us...how can we do that when they refuse to call a lie a lie and the person telling them a liar?
I havent watched msm since the election, I am so mad at them and its not good for me. So I will just continue to rant abt them not calling a liar a liar. Just once I'd like to open an article and see "the orange menace is a liar" At this point all I have left are dreams 🫤
I worry that Bluesky will have been bought off in seven years or so, probably by Jeff Bezos most likely, and we'll all be seeking refuge in the next iteration on micro blogging.
I emailed you an idea about illegal immigration, the companies that hire them, the pros and cons of illegal immigration, how easy it's for people to get fake documents, the mess it causes for US citizens.
I think it's important to understand just broken our immigration system is.
Maybe discuss how mainstream media is talking about Thanksgiving costs are down and zilch about an old man being President.
Before the election it was sky high food costs and Biden being so old and how would that effect the Office.
The smart, creative, and compassionate people who you had productive synergies with left that toxic No man's land. I'm guessing that covers a lot of it.😅
The one thing that no one is talking about, when US implements tariffs. It will force Canada and Mexico to look for other trading partners. If they do then and make deals then the US will be truly on its own. The other thing is how can we trust a partner that will no longer honour past agreements.
Show idea: the evolution of Maga. Starting with Rush, Bill, through joe Rogan ect… Americas ‘thirst for drug addled angry shock jocks. Seems Maga was ‘groomed by fox & 24/7 radio to podcast. Seems to have begun Reagan, early 80’s & built loyal extremists. Do Libs have a chance of ‘whipping up enthu
Seriously David Pakman, when are you going to get to the really hard-hitting subjects about which the world needs to know?
For example:
What do we know about The Prowler?
Who created The Prowler?
Who let The Prowler out into the world?
What does The Prowler want?
Where is The Prowler now?
If we all just instantly block them and not respond they will have nothing to feed on. Albeit, it's hard not to sometimes. They're just so damn ignorant.
Can't keep them out, but we can maintain widely-used and rapidly-update blocklists. And Bluesky can make some of those blocklists default and recommended, or else the user experience would be horrible until a new user figures out which blocklists to subscribe to.
You gonna report on bitcoin being over 100K? Personally I don't think it's a good thing, that number just shows that more and more people are being scammed by that ponzi scheme.
Do not panic! It will get better. We're moving into a new transition. You'll be ok!! Remember, "Nothing is worth losing your pace." Babaji. He is my spiritual guru in Sonoma, Ca
I’ve seen numbers but not much analysis regarding the decline of peewee football. Then again I haven’t gone looking for it; maybe it’s already been done to death.
Even if it has, it’s low-hanging fruit if you like that kind of thing.
If you need a story to dig into look into the corruption at the Massachusetts State Police… it’s not gotten the attention it deserves in left wing circles which blows my mind. Main stream media is not doing it justice and it needs to be exposed.
Explore the source field people rely on. Trumpistas are dangerously insular & never factory check their beliefs. This is setting them up for a very rude awakening come Trump 2.0, especially if informed people are on the ground to explain the facts.
You got it bro and you will be much better for it. Your voice needs to be heard and keep on keeping on! YouTube sub for many years. Hope the Dept of Obfuscation, Grift and Extortion doesn’t get wind of this ‘inefficiency’.
😉 ‘Would be a shame if this medium of expression went the way of the 1st’ 😉
A tale of a vampire who finds the victim he's been feeding off for the last 10 years, has moved to a town that a bat can't reach in one night. And follows his attempts to lure/bribe and intimidate his food-source into returning to a place he can feed on them.
Like Tolkien, I too hate analogy :)
Twitter is fast becoming a wasteland. Musk miscalculated (again), and he will run it into the ground. I left it last week - the hubris never knows when enough is enough.
I am a very low level twitter user and should be of no interest to them
but I blocked Musk and called him boring and he has been following me ever since
Something is happening there
People are leaving
I lost track of people who were suspended for things MAGA got away with
It's become a porno site
I mean, Elon made it unusable and then ran it like his own kingdom where he can make up absurd new rules on a whim and banish his peasants for any reason he wants, no matter how petty.
Now the feed is just Elon's brain diarrhea being forced into our eyes every time we use the app, no thanks.
I never was on Twitter, definitely never on X. I joined BlueSky to follow you and other democracy loving accounts. I love the platform! Have only needed to block a couple of hateful trolls. ♥️

You can talk about the headline from today that Biden just announced a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. That does not help people in Gaza very much, but at least, it stops the continued escalation that we had been seeing.
Talk about how the democratic party needs to start talking about decommodifying housing similar to Singapore. Medicare for all and housing as a right are winning platforms for the democratic party in the 21st Century, and it allows us to move toward the future as a society.
I used to write poetry on Twitter all the time. I don’t remember when I stopped that. It probably started diminishing when trump was in office. Then the big switch with Elon diminished it further. 10k followers, but I had no traffic.
The inspiration isn’t back yet though, being on here.
I'LL GIV YOO A STORY! I'M CUMMIN FOR ALLA YOO DAM DEMOCRAPZ! YOO LAFFED AT ME FOR YEERZ AND NOW ITZ MY TERN TO MAKE YOO SWET! I'M RITING ALL MY POSTS HERE SO STAY TOOND TO REED MY WEEVZ AND NO MY DEEPEST THOTZ! YOR GOING DOWN PAKMAN!
Can you discuss the topic of civil rights?
How it was established
How each immigrant group benefitted
The role each immigrant group played in eroding the strength of the rights.
How the assault on civil rights will impact each group
Perhaps it’s sinking in that you’ve always been the enemy of America?

Well I mean there was the story with Pete Buttigieg but yeah I can't recall anything else popping off in there. Even that story was essentially just "X's algorithm supports propaganda" which at this point is basically just what we expect and why we came here.
Ok chill, this isn't the start of the peoples revolution. Its just a new social media app. No different than when we jumped from myspace to facebook, to insta, to twitter. These things happen.
I would like something inspirational. Like reminding people of the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle and how effective they were. Remind people about the power of organizing and standing for your beliefs.Many have no memory of it.It’s also interesting because The Heritage Foundation was involved then too
Waiting to hear your thoughts on top dem candidates or who to watch via state houses and Congress. Seems like we have good people working out there but would love if independent media showcases them.
I want to know about the statute of limitations as it pertains to the Jack Smith case. Will he be tried again?Also, to ponder what the cases in NY might do to Trump's decision making processes while in office. I bet he wants to watch it burn.

These red welfare states need to be nicer to blue states.Time to educate & don’t cut the hands that feeds ya. 😃
This is where we call out the lies. Crowdsourcing is the new media
please, thanks! 😊

After some of us tried to engage MAGA with truth and information, but they actively chose lies, all the cool folks left X and came here.
Is a hot dog a sandwich? Enquiring minds want to know.

Can’t really sort through much else amidst the MAGA Grifts.
For example:
What do we know about The Prowler?
Who created The Prowler?
Who let The Prowler out into the world?
What does The Prowler want?
Where is The Prowler now?
Talk to the hand, MAGA.
Even if it has, it’s low-hanging fruit if you like that kind of thing.
so—like any other pathetic rich kid—he’s resorted to bribery
