In the Battle for the ‘New Twitter’, I’m Rooting for Injuries

Posted on July 7, 2023 by mikethemadbiologist

Arguably, the most important lesson regarding Elongated Muskrat’s forcing of blue checks onto high traffic Twitter accounts is to never pick a fight with dril. But it also tells us something about Muskrat’s redpilling and how so much of his … Continue reading →

Posted on December 13, 2022 by mikethemadbiologist
