I haven't loaded up my Spoutible for a while because when it first launched it was just an insufferable amount of K-hivers. How's the content these days?

 Posted the 6 millionth post! |
Not sure what a K-Hiver is, but my only concern is the content seems American-centric at the moment. However, Chris Bouzy recently got another round of funding under his belt and I believe their next phase is to grow their international user base.
What I like about Bouzy's approach is he is following the functional improvements that were needed from Twitter, but also had an extremely strong moderation because it's back-ended by Bot Sentinel.

I just thought it was funny that an A-list celebrity, from one of the biggest movies of this year, was unrecognized.
Anyway, I would do whatever in my power to get it taken down immediately once I became aware of it. Then I’d probably go on a crusade to ruin the people behind it.

She tattoos peoples toes. Probably deeply affected from working on a Quentin Tarantino movie.

Especially considering the history of 'White Australia.'
Probably dont want to be too closely associated with that.

My rephrasing was to imply that Margot Robbie is not a piece of sh-t.

Since my divorce, the amount of TMZ and E! Television I've been subjected to has plummeted, so I'm blissfully underinformed on the ongoings of A-list celebrities these days.  Also, timun's post was pretty impressive how many people could passably be in that photo.

I am awful for this. My wife chastises me for it all the time.
"Generic white, blonde celebrity."
I mean...they picked her to play Barbie for a reason.

I thought at least some would have also recognized her from when she explained mortgage backed securities.

Seriously, it's ridiculous:
Robbie, Pressly and Weaving in particular are... basically the exact same person. It's uncanny. One would be forgiven for thinking they're triplet sisters.
That awful photo captioned with a N-bomb? I honestly could not tell that's Margot Robbie; I honestly thought it was Jaime Pressly.

You're telling me those are not the same person? Balderdash!

The thing about eugenics is that you can't argue with the results.

The mayor of future Olympic host city Paris says she is quitting X, accusing Elon Musk's platform previously known as Twitter of spreading disinformation and hatred and of becoming a "gigantic global sewer" that is toxic for democracy and constructive debate.
"With its thousands of anonymous accounts and its troll farms, life on Twitter is the exact opposite of democratic life," Mayor Anne Hidalgo said in a long post titled, "Why I am leaving Twitter."
"I refuse to endorse this evil scheme," she wrote.
