After Republican vice presidential pick J.D. Vance went viral last week for being extraordinarily awkward at a donut shop in Georgia, Democrat Tim Walz had to poke fun at him during a snack stop in Pennsylvania.

Pursuing sweets like whoopie pies and donuts at Cherry Hill Orchards in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Walz slid in a joke  while speaking to voters.

“Look at me, I have no problem picking out donuts.”

        Embarrassing. Especially when government entities insist on Twitter being the primary way they communicate with the public.

          To be fair, the BBC trialed a Mastadon account in 2022, but I think the fact that some ex-Tweeters went BlueSky kinda convoluted the exodus.

        Because news agencies are so goddamn lazy now, that’s all they do is surf fucking Twitter.

      What, and make them host the video themselves? Hah!

      We could always ask politicians to stop posting there…

        It’s an old expression for shitting yourself.
        Later renamed Xitter the X pronounced as Sh, to reflect relations with authoritarianism like the Chinese leader XI. (Pronounced Shi or Pedo Bear.)

        It’s street drug, otherwise known to chemists as 3,4-Methyl​​enedioxy​​methamphetamine. Some white trust fund billionaire got stoned and decided it would be funny to hear the media say a politician said something “on twitter,” so he decided to buy a website and name it that.
