As January 24, 2024 approached, there was a lot of anger on Twitter. This included the fact that everyone except Elon Musk continues to insist on calling Twitter “X.” Grimes still calls it Twitter.
Moscow's “Mitch McConnell” is trending for once again fawning over Donald Trump, this time over border immigration issues related to the Ukraine war. The Supreme Court recorded more than 144,000 posts, proving once again that America is more attractively fucked up than Canada could ever hope to be.
