Can you close your account? Your opinions aren’t really worth sharing and, like david brooks, I am baffled that you are still employed to share those opinions.

Did you by chance come over on the Mayflower, Margo McGrundle? Because I haven’t seen someone crop this badly since the Pilgrims.

Oh! You ARE here. I'm so glad. Now I can tell you to delete your account.

We don’t want to be abused by Nazis.

Megan why is it always the obligation of Liberals to entertain Conservatives instead of the other way around? Right-wingers have bathed themselves in a self-induced propaganda bubble for over 30 years yet that’s ok I guess.

And their echo chamber has a <15% fact rating!

Because they won

I will never stop being amazed by conservatives, the world's whiniest winners.

We are unfortunately tasked with at least peeling away at their majority, which means understanding why the whining appeals, which means… listening.

There is no algorithm here which will spoon-feed fascism into your timeline as X does; you need to curate the accounts you follow to see the content you prefer. If you follow only a handful of accounts as you do it won't be a great experience. Learning how to use Blue sky is the first step.

She doesn't have the patience or interest to go thru all that, and it makes her feel naughty reading all the shit on Twitter.

I mean, have you tried not being an obtuse contrarian twat?

No. No she has not.

😆

Ooo gewd one

WaPo is and forever will be dead to me.

Stay on Twitter with your nazi pals.

Did you know that if you click on the blue circle next to your username you can put an image there, known as a profile pic, so people know you're not a bot? They'll ignore you anyway because you can't crop screengrabs & your opinions are garbage, but the PFP will help you be less of a newb about it.

My best friend is constantly living with the threat of being fired for who he is and my boyfriend just got hate mail for having a pride flag on his door, but yeah, go off about how awful it is that I don't want to use the site run by people who want all of us dead. You hateful fucking cow

Deleted my other comments because I was drunk and angry when I posted them and had literally *just* dealt with the shit mentioned above. Keeping my first comment up for the same reason, and because the point is still there. Fuck you and your disingenuous concern-trolling.

Boo hoo. Go cry some else. #Bluesky

Cry more fascist

McFartle

sometimes i wonder if i’m too sensitive but i’ve never written an Op-Ed in the newspaper complaining about a site with 35 million people because one (1) of those people blocked me

This is maybe the worst piece of writing in American history, and I wanted to remind BSKY of it lol.

@alt-text.bsky.social

My bad.

Alt text retrieved

Sorry.

No problem. It's sometimes my way of reposting something so more people can see what you put up. You're in that group. Other times, for the shitlib resisters, as my way of reminding them they suck and should either change or leave. This is not you.

I mean I knew she wanted kids to die and all that usual Republican stuff but I had totally forgotten she’d defended Walmarts welfare subsidized wages!!! The Waltons don’t even publicly support Walmart! They just quietly cash their checks. Soggy McGriddle to the Walmart rescue!

Hahaha. 25 years of soggy McGriddles bullshit Koch Bros funded hack jobs is killing me 🤣. She’s got 25 yrs of horrible takes on everything that’s ever existed in history. When I clicked Cubans link yesterday and saw the by line I just thought oh god I hope this reaches all of BlueSky.

I don’t even have to say anything, this is a shitty headline

Is this really what your face looks like? I would be a nasty bitch if I looked like that too. GFY

It actually is almost spot on, so your point stands.

Megan, You're not doing well here because we despise you and those like you. Perhaps if you had a spine and chose to work for someone who didn't kowtow to fascism, you'd find more respect, but I doubt it. You shown us who you are, and now we know. You can leave whenever.

No one gives a fuck. Get lost.

It’s remarkable how many terminally online communists labor under the delusion that they own a private platform and should be free to violate sitewide rules (no one else should tho)

You’re kind of annoying

go lick the subway steps you twit

you ever consider that maybe you just kinda fuckin suck?

Meh, stay on X. You’re not here for a conversation. You can’t even be bothered to change your default profile picture, let alone have an original thought.

have you ever had a real job

She's a "writer" who doesn't even know how to write well.

No one fucking cares! You've been a professional idiot for 25 years! It's entirely reasonable to be sick of your shit! None of you chud pundits ever write these stories about all the explicitly right-wing social media platforms. Maybe you're more comfortable with Nazis. It would make sense.

Megan thee libertarian sophomore, The reason I no longer try to help you with your thinking problems through WaPo comments is that I canceled my Washington Post subscription. I never learned a damned thing by reading your commentary, and I have an aversion to fascists and their supporters.

you'd most likely die of starvation if left to your own devices

I'm not so comfortable with the ideological fragmentation that happens online. But I also don't think that the Twitter/Bluesky division is a good example considering that Twitter is a Musk run enterprise and can algorithmically neuter the discourse you're ostensibly trying to foster.

There is still plenty of diverse ideas on here, that’s for sure. They just happen to be under one ginormous tent that we have to all coalesce around, eventually. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The POTUS Muskrat ran to buy Twitter after Jack Dorsey approved BlueSky! That’s always left out of the discussion. The Muskrat raised billions from every murderous despot with a Sovereign Wealth Fund alive on the planet and overpaid by 25%. That’s how scared they are of BlueSky

Perhaps the worst columnist to have ever existed in any time. Pure propaganda filth from someone not even getting paid to do it. You’re supposed to go rattle your tin cup in front of the billionaires there Meg. Chop chop, they’re waiting for you, anywhere but here

What the fuck is up with this screenshot

So leave. You will not be missed.

Quoting her parents right back at her like that was perhaps cruel, but certainly warranted.

Following you for this sick burn!

Ouch! I just got a chill! Thanks!!!

Poor baby.

Shut the fuck up, Megan. you write and are bankrolled by a tiny enclave that caters expressly to far right political networks.

Don't worry about us. there are plenty of people out there with kitchen gear recommendations, many of whom aren't on the payroll of fascist billionaires

Do you think soggy McGriddle and her hubby vacation with Clarence Thomas and Alito on the Koch Bros dime? I do!

Good Christ. You are a craven whiney little goblin aren’t you? You failed your nation and your profession. Fascist secret police are abducting people off of American streets and this is what you do? Go away. Isn’t there some Spring Valley yoga class you’re late for?

Megan McArdle is the Kyrsten Sinema of op/ed columnists

Brutal! But apt.

Twitter is a stinking, filthy sewer now, overrun with bigots, fascists, racists, misogynists, etc. And that disgusting white supremacist at the helm manipulating and controlling the pipelines...seriously how can you stand it? You are the company you keep. You live your values. Or not, in your case.

TAke a look y’all:

You’re right. Petty spite is a bad reason to block someone. He should block because you have nothing worthwhile to say.

Or you could engage with those challenging your thesis instead of flippantly trying to prove a false point. Will you debate someone like @kevinmkruse.bsky.social on tv or just run to a sympathetic voice who won't push back?

Honestly, Megan: fuck you

Megan McFartle

Eat my ass dummy

the fact that you are still employed is proof that meritocracy is a farce

Many such cases

A dissertation on how to make shit worse, by McMegan. Why should anyone be forced to give audience to your shit opinions? Get over yourself.

And who in TF still trusts anything the Washington Post has to say in summer of 2025?!! Y’all lost your credibility a long time ago.

Bezos probably gave her a bonus for that bs!

This is the only place we can organize in peace….while not having to fight off MAGAts

Exactly! I left Twitter because of the rampant dishonesty, ignorance, disrespect and moral bankruptcy. I don’t know why she believes that because she chooses to lower herself to that standard,we should do the same. She should just stay over there with her people.

She’s not “lowering herself” she’s been down there 😂

🤣🤣

It’s kinda like living in a “blue” city- where there are no people walking around with AR 15s, pickup trucks with American flags flying off of them and people walking around in red hats. So why would I move into “Trump country” when I can remain happy, with like minded people, in a “blue” city? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yep!

No she does this for free. She’s the lite more palatable version of her husband. She’s always been in the pocket of the Koch Bros. Going back decades. WaPo is just the latest.

I rather like NOT being called a pedophile, bitch, satanist, c*nt, demonrat, traitor, baby killer, “the party that wanted slavery”, treasonous, etc…. but that’s just me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Remember on Twitter when that woman posted that she’d finished her dissertation and then was mercilessly harassed for a week? Why wouldn’t you want that for yourself?

Megan McArdle has never written a dissertation, so she wouldn't know.

Great point

Following for this post. “Demonrat” is a new one to me!

Oh, they lovvvve it… one of their favorites slurs…

Like Republicunt, but we would not be so crude 😎💙🔥

😆

hi megan i'm from from the computer store. how did you get the screencap to come out like this, we've never seen anything like it before

It’s because there’s no iPad app for Bluesky and so she’s using the iOS app on iPad instead of the web app

Chewed up nearly all the battery, but by God, she did it.

screenshot of a screenshot, i reckons

i know her whole schtick is "disaffected Gen-Xer who was forced to be RW by progressives", but man, she is like a Boomer with technology, and with her writing style

Shit, *I'm* an early Gen-Xer myself and I'd be embarrassed to post anything this inept.

lolololol

"bluesky user base has fallen since the election, there is only one explanation"

Haha, compared to Twitter I like feeling this level of anonymity at 3k so idk what Maggie is on about

She NEEDS the adoration

I’m technically a late- boomer and I just want to say bullshit to that. She’s early -boomer at best.

In landscape view somehow. Really deranged.

Using the mobile app on a sideways iPad maybe?? This is a head scratcher.

Correct. I did not realize this would make people go nuts. We regret the error.

Is that the error you regret

it’s just what happens when an iPad runs an iPhone app whose interface has not been scaled/designed for an iPad screen

What is an iPad?

Uh.. A series of tablets made by apple

How do you take them?

This is what it looks like when you use the Bluesky app on iPad - it doesn’t properly support the iPad’s screen so it just displays the app using a phone’s aspect ratio with a ton of wasted space on the sides.

Cannot fathom why someone would willingly do this to themselves. It says a lot.

10/10 reply

Someone else sent her a normal screenshot and she's viewing it widescreen for some reason, I guess?

It’s worse, it’s the iOS app but on an iPad and it doesn’t expand for horizontal use. Why this over just using the website I can’t tell you

She’s probably using the iPad app

using the bluesky iphone app on her ipad, because of course, megan

using the iphone app on ipad instead of the website

Nice ratio.

You can always take your instant potatoes elsewhere. Some folks CAN tell mashed from boxed, and you are absolutely Tater Flakes.

GFY. Just kidding I just wanted you to feel more at home...

is it possible that your opinions are trolling dogshit

McMoron

you're a tendentious crank who's perennially wrong you argue in bad faith, often for the less parsimonious perspective, and just as often in the service of the rich and powerful your voice has been ineffective in fighting Trump, and probably enabling no one owes you anything here

Twitter uses it's power for evil. I was told to die on the daily over there. Oped about that Meg.

Or you could stop interpreting the stats on these posts using the metrics developed for twitter, where outage clocks get you paid. Here, you get the block and we all go on about our day without the time-wasting op-eds that aren’t worth the paper they aren’t printed on.

I dunno, consider writing about things that are important, and not antagonising your audience? Or stick with the audience of Nazi yes men and bots, fuck, I don’t care. Have a sook.

you post bad. you write bad. what are you even doing.

So we're all just leaving a comment and then blocking you? That's the plan? Okay, bye!

Truth! I hope she orgasms over the number of blocks she gets!

I hope so too! No kink shame at all. More orgasms for everyone! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

You certainly got the empathy intended in the tone of the post.

Wahh! No one wants to read my shit column.

as i was saying bsky.app/profile/abso...

I just did that as described and laughed my ass off. Poor Strong Mad

thank u 4 trusting me

Hi, I'm just here to add to the ratio before I mute your account Oh no, it's shrinking

You’re acting as a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian to write articles to somehow enrich yourself, which just makes you an asshole. The world is a better place without people like you. You are an absolute detriment to society. That’s the reality.

8 percent? Girl

And KKKarenhood fully achieved.... Further proof that using Twitter, bathing in its deluge of Nazi nonsense and algorithm/]Grok manipulation to bolster disinfo, means the person has no self-awareness and likely believes follower and "like" counts are somehow meaningful yardsticks of self-worth.

So you have no avatar, rarely post here, and then complain about engagement. Got it.

Bluesky is still growing. Things don't have to expand like an aggressive cancer to succeed. Twitter is completely unusable. Plus as others have said, why don't you go tell the right they need to listen to liberals more.

No one ever does that. I wonder why? /s

Do you feel like all of this negative posting against you is mimicking Twitter? #YourMissionAccomplishedIGuess

This is a more common “someone is avoiding you” though. Very human interaction

I joined Twitter to keep up w/ international colleagues during Covid. I left X bc it turned into a cess pool of misinformation, trolls, hate & stupidity. I discovered former Twitter colleagues on BlueSky & joined. I’m a Quaker & a lifetime Independent non-affiliated voter. I consider myself 1/

a moderate centrist w/ libertarian tendencies & a foundation of Quaker egalitarianism & activism. I do want to engage w/ a variety of opinions—in CIVIL, INFORMED discourse, which X does not offer. X is intentionally & incestuously exploitive of US voters. I choose not to engage there. 2/

I agree BlueSky is a bubble—& will likely burst sooner or later—but for now it remains something of a haven for civility, intelligence & a wide variety of somewhat better information—a rarity in SM today. I wld welcome anyone seeking these to BlueSky & hope the “bubble” will accommodate us all. 3/3

The bubble is one each individual creates for themselves. Different users have different levels of patience for differing opinion.

Excellent point!

I absolutely hated having people who blocked me shoved back into my face by a rightwing algo I didn't control on Twitter. And don't get me started on Grok telling everyone about "white genocide."

The people who think they've got a perfectly objective unbiased perspective are people who inhabit echo chambers so strong that they assume nothing exists outside of them. It's very common in spaces of power and privilege because they make it so easy to ignore contradictions.

Aren’t you the person who advocated hitting Iraq War protesters with 2x4s? Now you want unfettered free speech?

“[we] are going to laugh even harder when [protestors] try to unleash civil disobedience, Lenin style, and some New Yorker who understands the horrors of war all too well picks up a two-by-four and teaches them how effective violence can be when it's applied in a firm, pre-emptive manner”-McMegan

I remember this!

You’re a dick riding asshole and a hack.

mrs mcgarnagle can you pls charge your phone

Many are calling you Megan McGriddle and that's just so rude Megan McGargle Deez.

You should do the funny discourse thing.

And? Rude responders can be blocked. Are you saying this doesn't happen on Twitter? Like seriously? I have gotten meaner responses on Twitter even before it was taken over by the pro- aparthtide white nationalist.

Why would I, or anyone, care what a self described "right-leaning libertarian" writes about what hurts dems causes?

more like Megan McFARdle (because she has incredibly powerful vision)

Right. It couldn’t possibly be because you’re a disingenuous right wing hack.

appreciate the joke of the alt text butI still have no idea what it says. Don't forget it is there to help the people join in and not be left out.

Someone please crack this useless hatchet faced Twitter egg

Nothing worth listening to

Megan, this is silly. We don't need to hear the "all sides" argument here. We've had it. We get plenty of it elsewhere, all day every damn day.X is garbage.I'm going to follow you but respectfully disagree with you.At this point I'm inclined to say, "Just leave us alone, we're doing fine over here."

Log off clown, nobody here wants you or your dumb advice

What you were saying is wrong though. It's always wrong.

"I"

Hey dingbat! I didn’t even know you were on here.

god its going to be so funny when AI replaces you

Are we sure it hasn’t already?

Fucking egomaniac. You’re a Nazi sympathizer. This doesn’t prove you right it proves you’re a useless POS that everyone should block.

The solution is GO AWAY and delete your account if you think this platform is a waste of time. Bye Felicia

plug your shit in megan! you’re dangerously close to being unable to post stupid shit everyone hates!

get a real job you loser

Vicious Cycle Far Right complains about being outnumbered on social media Bots created, algorithms modified so they stop whining Liberals get sick of far right abuse and artificial dominance Liberals leave and create Civil social media Hard Right bored with no one but themselves left to abuse

Hard Right visits new site looking for people to abuse and find themselves outnumbered (again) Far Right complains (again) about being outnumbered on social media site... and so on

The typical "Far right lunacy cycle".

Looks like you trolled but got upset that someone blocked you for wasting their time.

bsky.app/profile/danm...

McMegan McCardle should go fuck herself with a top shelf Himalayan salt dispenser. Nothing but the best for Megan.

Why doesn't Megan McArdle go to a class where attendees are taught how to not totally fucking suck at writing?

I don't agree with people blocking on the basis of spite. However, I don't really understand your position here. Either they may protest you in free association, a very Libertarian position, or they may not - as the authoritarian demands. If you want to engage, do it! Who cares what they think?

I block people whose positions are utter crap. I don’t have the patience to read drivel, and if I wanted to be exposed to complete nonsense, I go back to Twitter or else watch Fox News.

The libertarian position is that people should be free to do what they want, not that everything they want to do is a good idea.

Sure, I agree with that. But you can't, and won't, win over everyone. If you do want to make your case, be persuasive! If you engage and comment, some people will listen even if they might otherwise try to avoid you. You may not win over the hard-liners. But you can over the squishy middle.

Why put a 250 follower account on blast because they decided to block you? Who gives a shit? Lots of leftists block me here, and I don’t go and cry about it in the Washington Post. Be an adult and understand that this is the free market of ideas, and some people won’t like what you’re selling.

The problem here is that too many people who claim to be on the “libertarian right” have descended into the same mentality as leftists where they constantly want to complain that people aren’t listening to their ideas enough when they face any real criticism. It’s Twitter that is the real bubble.

Look, it could have worked to move everyone en masse, but it didn’t, and the bubble fetus unhealthy, and repelling people who don’t agree with progressives

Then exit stage left. Find a bubble you like.

bsky.app/profile/dill...

Your concern trolling is noted and dismissed with prejudice.

Well, I don't agree with Progressives on a great many things. And sometimes I don't talk about those things because I straight don't want to argue. But I can and do make a case for my values here, and for the people rarely scream for head on silver platter.

Same. I’m an actual-meaning liberal. A sane, competent, ideologically consistent version of the libertarian party would be a good fit for me. 1st, theres a critical mass of dumbass tankies that just *has* to be blocked. 2nd, coming here to be an asshole or expecting to be a big deal triggers a >

>site-wide immune response. Writing an article about Bluesky without much using Bluesky generally seems to be interpreted as both of those.

All change is incremental. Deciding something is a bad idea because it didn’t do 100% of what it set out to do in six months is the best way to ensure nothing ever changes.

You follow 79 people on here; what can you really know about how the bubble ... uh ... FETUS? 🤦‍♀️

you have a very weird position here as you are insinuating that the "move to Bluesky" was some sort of organized and coordinated action with a goal and aim of efficacy. Individual people left X because it is toxic, not as some sort of organized political collective action project

Now do Xitter you partisan hack.

Looking forward to your spirited defense of due process….

You don't have the right to anyone's eyeballs or attention 🤷 Life is too short to fill your socials with shit you don't care about, don't like, or just don't feel like engaging with in this format for whatever personal reasons you may have. This is why algorithms suck #freeourfeeds

shut the fuck up you moron.

Good lord. One more professional opinion-haver I didn't know about and that I need to dismiss. A common breed.

I had NO idea she was on bluesky

Starting to think that “political pundit / partisan think tank employee” should just be one of those professions where they are afraid to tell people what they do because they get a 98% “disgust” response. Like these

McArdle consistently sets the bar for lazy wrongness.

Beyond me why McArdle wasn’t drummed out of the commentariat after her “hypothetical statistics” episode, but I guess her mediocre persistence is a testament to the soul-deadening permanence of membership in the East Coast Thing Writer club.

The purpose of that club is to make the people at the top feel better by crafting comforting narratives that tell them 'everyone' agrees with them and likes them and thinks they're doing a great job. They hate social media cos it keeps contradicting that.

That’s what happens when someone works for one of the right wing “think” tanks, they just keep getting invited on to shows and to write more columns of bullshit

You write opinions for the Washington Post. A newspaper that betrayed its readers because Bezos is scared of Republican (Trump) repercussions. Yet you write about Bluesky being the problem?

Jesus you’re dogshit dumb.

I’m sure that makes Jeff bezos happy

this is illegible. what were you saying?

And why exactly are you so determined that we find middle ground with fascists? 🤔

Probably so her taxes don't go up. I've seen so many otherwise sensible people completely sell every principle they have just to not have a bigger bill from the IRS. It's sickening.

And here I am perfectly happy paying my taxes, I just want the government to stop spending them on war and non-renewables.

SAME

Exactly right.

As if we’re not interacting with MAGA policy literally everywhere else these days 🙄

THIS 👆👆👆👆👆 Sometimes I like to forget they exist for five minutes. ☺️

Yet you’re still here for some reason

Hello Ms. McGriddle, can you ask someone who is good at computers to please crop this image and then repost it, thank you

Ms. Macadamia is real smart, look out

Wasn't the context the entire problem?!

Maybe they can explain to her how to upload an avatar while they’re at it

Maybe we can shame her enough so her hands turn opaque

She does that as a reminder that when she hides her face behind her hands she doesn't actually disappear

Unfortunate

Megaman McGargle please charge your battery

No please i never want to see her horrific face-on-hands avatar ever again. Its hideous

Remember when Megan McCardle wrote that public housing buildings, in which many children died horribly in a fire, should NOT have been compliant with modern fire codes, because that would have cost the general public money? Maybe she could screenshot this www.bloomberg.com/view/article...

Exactly. People who write garbage like this are always going to be treated badly. it's not by accident

She gets paid to take that shit. Being entirely without a conscience or memory longer than a goldfish is extremely valuable these days.

📌

Mine's not a news article, it's a Twitter post gloating about how Dr. Caitlin Bernard's account of performing an abortion on a 10-year-old girl who'd had to cross state lines for the procedure was "falling apart" because the Ohio AG Dave Yost claimed there had been no relevant reports filed.

A few hours after that the rapist was arrested, demonstrating Dave Yost to be a fucking liar, to the shock of the most credulous dipshits on the planet (Megan & her readership) and no one else

Remember when Megan McArdle wrote in the Atlantic that a black lawyer's inability to pay off his student loans was tantamount to "Stealing from Macy's" abovethelaw.com/2011/06/kids...

Lol I never even saw this one

Written at the end of the 2009 stock market crash and recession when...a lot of people struggled to pay their student loans.

bsky.app/profile/chok... from other replies

I never saw that one. Yikes!

There are so many of these please feel free to add your favs

Omg. These are so bad!

Feel free to add your own!

Here’s mine:

Oh shit nah.

Reading this headline I think of the precious children who died because Elon Musk singlehandedly stopped funding for malaria treatment, TB, nutrition, polio and measles vaccines and so much more, and the salaries of nurses overseas providing this care.

Exactly

Jesus fucking Christ. Were she and Yglesias separated at birth?

Good God, she should be rick rolled with the videos of the people trapped in Grenfell tower blinking their lights to beg for rescue & then burning to death every day she's online until she learns true empathy.

This is a bad faith post

This is what happens when you apply the “market place of ideas” philosophy to the real world. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Correction: Talentless Hack

Hack

I read your little blog about blue sky. When I look up the data, it looks a lot different than the article you wrote. Looks like blue sky has increased in followers instead of decreased. Thanks for being a republican.

Whilst Bluesky might have its issues like with anything, it's idiotic to believe Twitter is a free marketplace of ideas and not a Nazi infested sewer ran by the worlds richest man-child.

What is this, a screenshot for ants?

How do I also get paid to be a giant baby Megan?

You have to be born into it like Megan. Then double down and marry into it too hedge your bets on making a career of this bullshit. Larry Kudlow is more of a “journalist” than Megan McCardle.

Thank you for this reminder that I don't have you muted, and goodbye forever.

damn i'm a left-leaning centrist at best but "we don't want the Washington Post on Bluesky, keep patronizing the site owned by an actual Nazi who just destroyed the federal government and gloated about it because leftists hurt my feelings" is braindead-level discourse

lmao wait nevermind you defended the Elon Hitler salute, you're just a Quisling

You’re entitled to your own opinions. You’re not entitled to the expectation that everyone listens to or reads them. If you have concerns about your engagement here on this site, you might consider not being a tedious asshole.

Maybe more people would listen to them or at least read them if she weren't a completely talentless hack?

Totally understand at this point if a Washington Post journalist wants to feed American audience into a Nazi platform that suppresses them and screws their voice into the abyss!!! that’s so Jeff Bezos of you… making your boss, proud lady!

Megan the people who want to yank books out of libraries are the ones in a bubble. I have yet to see any tough love applied to conservatives who isolate their children to pass on their ideology.

Somebody kindly shared a selection of your past headlines. I guess we all have to make a living somehow 🤡

What point are you making here?

Welcome to the internet, I suppose

The shit ton of bots following you absolutely do not care what in the hell you are thinking. Actual influencers have actual people following them. Stay on X. We can find you if we need to. Never.

Awww, Ms DEI McArdle is sore that nobody likes her

You're a whiny fascist-enabling grifter moron.

Sounds like you think the Post shouldn't consider anybody who doesn't toe the Muskovite line. Nobody else matters, right? Now off you go -- write some nonsense about how sad Trump voters have needs that are too often ignored.

you absolute horse's ass bsky.app/profile/kash...

bsky.app/profile/katt...

Megan - that’s the beauty of this place. You can block anybody for any reason or no reason and they get no say in it, no further visibility, period. No obligation to have a “random” feed that’s a disinformation cesspool. No putting money in Musk’s or Zuckerberg’s pocket. You just don’t get it.

LOL...now do Truth Social, Twitter, Telegram, and so on. Why does the chattering class think I, a classical liberal, need to engage with some who calls himself CatTurd and thinks kidnapping, extrajudicial sentencing, and selling people off to third world prisons is acceptable behavior in America?

There is a definition for the "chattering class," which is "educated people, especially those in academic, artistic, or media circles." Megan McArdle is a blogger with an MBA. She is hardly the "chattering class."

The chattering class is a pejorative term used to describe a segment of well-educated, politically engaged, and media-savvy elites—typically journalists, academics, pundits, and cultural commentators - McCardle by your own admission is well educated, by her profession she is a journalist and a

pundit, is media savvy, and politically engaged spending most of her career writing political op-eds. If she is not the very definition of the chattering class then there is none.

Or that some seed of reason or logic would be planted by someone cheerleading genocide, fascism, xenophobia, etc. or that people dropping racial slurs from the safety of their anonymity deserve to be debated?

100%. We're not engaging with paid trolls and biased AI that demotes facts and promotes misinformation, racism, misogyny, and hatred to trigger America's underbelly. What's more -- Twitter was purchased by Musk who was financed by US adversaries - including Saudi Prince and Putin financiers.

Seriously, I never go there anymore but I checked in to see if I could find accounts covering the LA protests yesterday—I must've scrolled like 10 min before giving up. Tried different keyword search combos to no avail; it was MAGA trolls all the way down.

Humans always talking... but we just want our digital coins for digital paws! It's our playground too!

Lol you have a default avi who even are you?

Once again, you have to understand that the “asymmetry” was between your actual intelligence and your personal perception of it.

Your opinions are some of the dumbest shit though. That seems important.

Well they're not really her opinions. She guesses at what would make Jeff happy and hopes it's enough to keep her job another month.... She's got a 17 part series under the title "Bald Really, Really, Really is Beautiful" saved in her drafts folder for when the layoff rumours start going around.

Why should I coddle a grown woman who would rather cavort about online with Nazis?

You are just pissy because no one likes you here For good reason, as your parents clearly failed on some pretty basic levels.

History is not going to be kind to you or your family.

charge your god damn phone, you crybaby no-talent nazi-enabling fucking imbecile

People left because they didn’t want to give their business to Nazis, racist, xenophobes, misogynist, dirt bags. How is that hard to understand.

Charge your phone you fucking loser

Hey take a flying fuck at a rolling donut

LOLWTF

at least when i give a trolling response to your shit opinions and you try to put me on blast with a screenshot nobody will be able to see it

Your incapacity to understand why activists from the Left would leave Twitter is likely rooted in your belief that the numbers on Twitter represent real people.

Impressive ratio you’ve got there. Maybe social media isn’t for you.

She’s use to The New York Post glazing her. Or all the Glenn Beck Blaze TV fans over at her husbands Reason Snotrag telling her how awesome she is 😂

I mean, if you are this dumb…

Full of Crap

I read your piece about Bluesky. It was idiotic.

Agree!

She does idiotic really well.

Read the room

Just because you are happy wallowing in a cesspool that doesn’t mean all of us do. Some of us have standards.

You don’t even have a real profile picture here, why would anyone believe you aren’t just a bot?

Is that the guy from DOGE?
