Joe Rogan:
So there’s this giant resistance right now to the idea that X is the new source of the world. They’re the mainstream. It’s the new source of the world. These people that want to cling to authority and say, “No, you’re not. God damn it. You’re not a journalist.” You guys fucked us too many times, and we don’t believe you anymore. And so the only way for us to find out what’s real and what’s not real is if someone posts it online, and then everybody looks at it, and then you get the Community Notes, and that’s way better than the New York Times telling me that the Fruit Loops in Canada are exactly the same as the Fruit Loops in America, except for a bunch of shit that’s banned. And that’s the whole point of the whole fucking thing. Yeah, meanwhile, they’re fact checking, RFK, Jr, so now I don’t trust you anymore either.
Tonight I posted the following on FB:
If you want to know what’s really going on in the world, it’s time for you to grow up and participate at X (Twitter). Don’t be scared away by your “friends” who will call you names if you dare to listen to facts and opinions they don’t approve of. At my website, Dangerousintersection.org, I’ve been following/analyzing the corporate news for years and I can guarantee you that corporate media “journalists” repeatedly fail to ask obvious questions. They are totally captured by their corporate masters and their main mission is to manipulate you to be gaslit and coerced to believe the BS power-hungry entities such as the U.S. government, Big Pharma, the Military Industrial Complex and the Censorship Industrial Complex.
Will you find nuts and kooks at X? Absolutely. But at least big topics are not being filtered and vanished systematically at X as they are elsewhere (such as here at FB). At X, you will eventually find many credible voices that you will learn to question, learn from and treasure. You will not agree with them on everything, which is a good thing! Give it a try. Within a month or so you will start to see an upside down version of the fantasy-world you now inhabit, the one you are now afraid to question if you are not yet on X.

A Pew study confirms it: X is the heartbeat of modern media.
85% of news influencers—the citizen journalists redefining how we consume information—are active on 𝕏.
These voices, 77% of whom have no ties to legacy media, are independent storytellers shaping narratives, breaking news, and sparking global conversations.
Nearly 40% of adults under 30 now turn to influencers for news, leaving traditional outlets in the dust.
And it’s not just youth—1 in 5 Americans rely on citizen journalists to stay informed.
The impact? 65% of users say influencers on X help them better understand civic issues.
A striking 70% feel the news here is different—fresh, unfiltered, and outside the mainstream bubble.
X isn’t just a platform anymore.
It’s a revolution.
On 𝕏, we are the media.
