Following our move to the new server (seen above, I wish), I've been fixing the bugs as quickly as they make themselves known. We upgraded from PHP 5.6 to the latest PHP 8, there were a helluva lot of changes, and some of them were of the crashing variety. Today I ...

At long last. He's not really worth a whole lot of attention, but getting permanently suspended by Twitter deserves at least a quick post-it note. Hey now! One of the worst long-running right wing disinfo peddlers is hit with the deplatforming stick at last.https://t.co/6XS99N92DW pic.twitter.com/9XLlTr6TUB — Charles Johnson (@Green_Footballs) April 15, 2021 ...

I was suspended on Twitter a few days ago for calling a neo-Nazi Holocaust denier a nutjob. Here's how it happened. The guy was harassing people around and spreading Holocaust denial. As a very typical example, here are his tweets harassing a Jewish woman and people confronting him (all reported, of course): Here ...

So. This is happening tonight on Twitter: trying to post a link to @TomSteyer's "Need to Impeach" website, which calls for the impeachment of Donald Trump, results in a warning message from Twitter -- and the link is not posted. This is the message I get from TweetDeck when I try ...

The title says it all -- we're under attack by dozens of new accounts, apparently all originating in India by way of anonymous proxies. A few weeks ago we were attacked by the same crew -- they always post the same idiot spam, consisting of user support telephone numbers that ...

In the Trump era, it's no secret by now that white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups have been greatly emboldened. The owner of the vile hate site Daily Stormer notoriously wrote, “Our Glorious Leader has ascended to God Emperor. Make no mistake about it: we did this. If it were not ...

One of the laws of the Internet is that online polls -- the kind that let anyone vote by clicking a "submit" button -- are completely unscientific, meaningless, and easy to spam. They're intended to be fun, and nothing more. These types of polls usually have some very weak methods that ...

This week I wanted to ban some obnoxious referrer spambots that were linking to sites peddling Cialis, so I started writing a regular expression to block out any referrers that had *cialis* in their URL. Then I realized this would also block out any referrers that had "socialist" in their URL. Another ...

In a sort of delayed derp reaction, several wingnut bloggers are having conniptions today about my post on Ann Romney's dog-whistle comment about the Obamas' "overseas vacations," because I wrote that these right wing criticisms often contain a not very subtle sub-text of racism. The dumbest and nastiest one I've seen ...

Gulag via Shutterstock The right wing persecution fantasy known as #TwitterGulag is still raging today, as the conspiracy theories and suspected masterminds keep multiplying and getting more ridiculous. They've now started adding a slash to any suspected mastermind's Twitter username, to avoid what they think is the DREADED REPLY TRAP that ...

Gulag via Shutterstock The right wing mass hallucination known as #Twittergulag is still a hot thread on Twitter this morning; the paranoia shows no sign of subsiding, and why should it? There's nothing more fun to wingnuts than imagining themselves as victims of a massive secret conspiracy. As we've noted before, Michelle ...

What sort of wingnut gets their account suspended, then whines about being unjustly imprisoned in #TwitterGulag by the super-secret conspiracy led by yours truly? When I happened to click on a Twitter user's profile today, I discovered the answer to this poignant question. Our tale begins when I saw the following retweet ...

Gulag via Shutterstock Today we have a classic tale of a dim-witted conspiracy theory, made up out of thin air and totally unsupported assumptions, factually wrong yet believed by thousands of wingnuts. This is the tale, my friends, of the dreaded "Twitter Gulag" -- the wingnuts' grandiose self-pitying name for having their ...

For several weeks on Twitter, the wingnut army has been staging a massive freak-out about a strange persecution fantasy; they imagine that they're being sent to a "Twitter Gulag" by a conspiracy of left wing activists, who somehow control Twitter with their diabolical liberal super-powers. What's really happening is that sites ...

In the wake of CNN contributer Dana Loesch's latest conspiracy-mongering about LGF owner Charles Johnson, I thought this would be a good opportunity to review Dana and Chris Loesch's long history of using movement conservatives for their own personal gain. Roughly four years ago, Chris and Dana Loesch voted for Mitt ...

The big news last night on Twitter was that Dana Loesch's husband Chris Loesch had his account suspended. Dana and Michelle Malkin and every wingnut drone on Twitter immediately started yelping that they were being targeted by "progressives" falsely reporting them as spam. They present absolutely no evidence for this ...
