Ok 49 days is impressive for a lettuce. It's also impressively bad for a prime minister.

Any politician launching their own media network is a reprehensible piece of shit.

Prove me wrong.

Counterpoint?Obviously I don't have any examples here.

I'm sorry if I got anyone's hope's up

I hope this was a brief, fun, moment of mystery for a few of us.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

Yeah, they are the exception

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So any of the users will be able to freely tell her to kill herself?

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 29 points 1 week ago

Lol, oh, no. It'll be like Trüf Social where only the platform's dear leader can do that.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 38 points 1 week ago (2 children)

all the leftists should go there, make it a trans forum, let's see how quickly she starts censoring things there.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 week ago

That actually sounds like a good idea. Can you post images? Might start a twink of the week poll.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

That's actually genius

[–] stroz@infosec.pub 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can we flood it with Rule 34 lettuce posts?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Sounds like a plan.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Would be great to put that to the test by spamming it with gay Marxist furry trans atheist content

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

But that’s just Lemmy again!

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 1 points 1 week ago

You make an interesting and testable point, Afsee!

[–] duhbasser@lemm.ee 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Whats it going to run on? The vegetable section at the grocery store?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not even the vegetables are that dumb.

[–] duhbasser@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I heard the vegetables preferred candidate is a head of lettuce

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Why not a cabbage, they tend to smell

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 16 points 1 week ago

Now accepting bets:: Which will last longer? Her freeze peach network or another head of lettuce?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Lettuce see how that goes

[–] liquidapricity@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Watch as users turn it into a lettuce growing enthusiast forum

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Everyone gonna call it lettuce regardless

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

They could capitalize on that, and call it "Let us social!"

That would give it a friendly name and make her more approachable, which is why it won't happen.

Desperate to somehow stay relevant. Shunned by Trump at his inauguration, despised by most of her party and the laughing stock of the opposition.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

At first my thoughts were "does she really think she's that relevant" now I'm just waiting for the hilarity to begin.

Is it so she can say repugnant things about minorities and spread conspiracy theories about matters of public health, or is she actually concerned about Turkey's ability to influence bsky into denying access to individuals for political reasons?

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume she didn't even mention Turkey in her 'talk'.
