It’s not just the “poorly educated” voting for Trump—many highly educated individuals chose him too. It boils down to messaging: the GOP pushes its narrative without effective pushback, and Trump’s lies go largely unchallenged. His latest interview proves this yet again.

it’s understandable he might prioritize his family and health. Working under someone like Trump, who thrives on loyalty over competence, creates a toxic environment for anyone who doesn’t bow to his demands. Wray’s decision reflects the impossible position non-loyalists face in such a regime.

2/2 - and expose abuses of power at every turn. The next four years will demand relentless vigilance and a unified strategy to safeguard democracy against authoritarian overreach. Standing strong isn’t optional—it’s essential.

1/1- This was predictable, yet it highlights the urgent need for the Democratic Party to step up and fight harder. The appointment of a loyalist like Kash Patel signals an even more dangerous chapter. Democrats must prioritize strong oversight, leverage the legal system to hold officials accountable

2/2 - Pair that with a Democratic Party unable to effectively counter these lies, and here we are. The focus now must be on dismantling the GOP’s propaganda network and rebuilding a Democratic strategy that resonates with voters. Without that, the cycle will repeat.

1/2 - We’ve already lived through four years of Trump’s chaos, corruption, and scandal—why would this term be any different? The real issue is the GOP’s unchecked misinformation machine that manipulated voters into acting against their own interests.

2/2 The Democrats struggled to connect these qualities to the priorities of everyday voters. Until the party refines its messaging and counters GOP framing more effectively, they risk losing ground even against flawed opponents. Perception and communication matter as much as policy.

1/2 - This highlights a critical issue for the Democratic Party: a failure to craft a resonant and effective message. Many Trump voters I’ve spoken to saw Kamala as "crazy" or "uneducated," a perception largely driven by Republican narratives that went unchallenged.

When things go wrong, the blame will inevitably be placed anywhere but at his feet the "deep state," Obama, or "wokeness" or Marxism, the narrative will always shift to protect their perception of him. Loyalty runs so deep. Even if everything collapses, they'll likely find a way to justify.

Exactly. Politicians and those in power thrive on creating 'boogeymen' to distract, divide, and manipulate. By keeping people focused on fear and outrage over personal freedoms, they steer attention away from real issues and keep us voting against our own best interests. It’s a cycle we must break.

2/2 - Today, as we reflect, let’s commit to learning from those mistakes and creating a more just and equitable world. Gratitude doesn’t erase history, but it can inspire progress.

You're absolutely right to honor the truth of the past and the pain endured by your ancestors—it’s a history that cannot and should not be ignored. Acknowledging that past is essential to building a better future.

Absolutely! Life’s best moments often come when we let go of control, take a deep breath, and trust the journey. What’s something amazing that’s happened to you when you just let things flow?

Well, they might go the AI route based on the latest changes and uproar with using our data to train their model without permission.

It's heartbreaking to see this becoming the norm on X. When hate speech and threats are brushed off, it sends a dangerous message. Social platforms must prioritize safety and accountability—or risk losing the communities they claim to serve. We deserve better.

Based on a quick search: "As of November 2024, Bluesky has over 20 million active users, with numbers rapidly increasing due to a recent influx of users leaving other platforms like X (formerly Twitter) following the US election".

Exactly. It’s never about the stories or creativity it’s about manufactured outrage to distract and divide. When 'overlords' keep pointing to an 'enemy,' people stop asking the questions, like who’s really pulling the strings. Let’s focus on celebrating diverse, compelling stories in gaming instead.

Exactly. Tariffs, like many other policies sold as 'wins,' often end up hurting everyday Americans. The atacks on facts exposed how misinformation can mislead people into voting against their own interests, prioritizing ideological 'wins' over facts. Truth matters, especially when it hitsourwallets.

Bluesky’s growth shows that people are craving authentic, ad-free, and less manipulative platforms. If it’s spooking Zuckerberg, it’s probably because users are waking up to what they really want from social media. Refreshing, isn’t it? 🦋

Such a powerful and sadly accurate take. Social media has amplified echo chambers, turning discourse into shouting matches and creating divides even within families. How do we bridge the gap between entertainment-driven platforms and the need for informed, critical conversations? Thoughts?

Buyers remorse and eyes open one hopes!! We need a way out of this current political climate and get back to facts, science and working for the people.

Twitter’s algorithm has definitely shifted to favor certain content types and accounts, prioritizing controversy and clickbait over genuine engagement. Platforms like this thrive because they prioritize meaningful interactions, not just numbers. Quality > quantity every time! Thoughts?

Too often, the public becomes collateral in these political battles, swayed by scare tactics and misinformation. Politicians exploit a lack of understanding to push narratives that make people vote against their own interests. It’s a cycle that urgently needs breaking through education.

Congrats on 16 amazing years, LTT! A live stream sounds perfect—celebrating the journey from that first video to the incredible Media Group you've built today. A behind-the-scenes look at how far Linus and the team have come would be the ultimate nostalgia trip. Let’s make it happen!

Definitely Cuphead for me too—those bosses push me to the edge, but the art and gameplay keep pulling me back. Another one is Dark Souls—frustratingly tough, yet so rewarding. What keeps you coming back to your game despite the rage moments?

Sounds awesome! I’ve been diving into a lot of city builders and strategy games lately—there’s something so satisfying about building and planning. Dungeon crawlers are a blast too! Any favorites you’d recommend?

Building a Steam library is like creating a museum of games you loved, missed out on, or dream of playing someday (maybe in retirement?). It’s not just about gaming—it’s about nostalgia, amazing sales, and hope for free time we might never have. What’s your most prized ‘still-to-play’ game?"

Well deserved! The #SteamDeck OLED is a game-changer for portable gaming—vibrant visuals, unmatched performance, and versatility all in one device. Congrats on the win! 🎮🏆 What’s your go-to game on the OLED right now?

My top picks for this year on the #SteamDeck are Hades II and Dave the Diver. Hades II nails it with its story and as a sequel to the original, while Dave the Diver is a perfect fit for handheld gaming.

It’s alarming how politicians deflect attention from real issues by creating smoke screens, all while enabling questionable behavior in their own circles. This hypocrisy undermines trust and distracts from meaningful progress. It’s clear—our political climate desperately needs a reset.

Belief in oneself is the foundation of all achievement. Buddha's words remind us that our greatest limitations often come from within. By embracing the power of thought and self-confidence, we unlock the potential to transcend obstacles and realize our true abilities.

Turns out Amelia Earhart's plane was rock-solid evidence... literally. Guess the mystery still takes flight while we’re left grounded with theories. 🛩️🪨

It’s truly disappointing to see the direction things are headed, and the next four years seem poised to bring even more political turmoil. Unfortunately, the results suggest this period in U.S. political history may persist, potentially encouraging others to follow similar paths.

It's disheartening to see X become a breeding ground for misinformation, bots, and unchecked chaos. Spaces like Bluesky 🦋 remind us that digital communities can still foster authenticity and meaningful interaction. Here's hoping for a brighter social media future!
