Comedy writes itself these days. That's why comedians had to find something else to do. You just can't compete with reality when whole continents are run by clowns.

That's exactly why the "mute words" feature is great. Everybody you want to follow on Twitter is going to retweet some political trash sometimes. Curating the people you follow can't fix this, but "mute words" can.

Mine is actually fairly political (lots of economists). I can see how my comment was misleading, but it's the shitposting I mind, not the politics. People like Noah Smith write decent columns but consistently embarrass themselves on Twitter with low-effort dishonest nonsense.
