The weirdest grift I've ever covered. Having kept my lips tight while preparing for this, I'm ready to be blocked by AltNPS now. I have a lot of people to thank for making this video possible, including those in #AltGov #AltFam. Specific credits and thanks in 🧵

The True Story of AltNPS

Getting back into the writing groove after a break is always difficult, but at least I'm making progress on my script.

Okay, this AltNPS post is legitimately mindbogglingly stupid. First, "has since climbed"... since when? Since WHEN? There's no date?!?! And over seven times a day? That's not how averages works! The orange idiot will have to say Biden's name 300 times in a single day for the average to go up!
Happy belated Thanksgiving! There's a lot to catch up on, but I'll start here.

The uncredited "first analysis" AltNPS mentions is from a March 28th article in the NYT by Shawn McCreesh and @dylanfreedman.nytimes.com; that's where the "6.32" number comes from.

I think my next video will be about generative AI again. There's an idea that's been cooking in my head about how to tackle that subject that I haven't seen yet, and I want to give it a wack.

I never understood why people make up fake atrocities, when real atrocities are abundant and worse.

I think every anti-vaxxer should be entered into a lottery, and the winner should be injected with polio or something and livestreamed to the world for educational purposes.



What do you mean I'm being cruel and unusual?

Part 2 of my deep dive into AltNPS. We look at the phenomena and full shady history of AltNPS accounts as a whole, some of the more problematic fallout of unchecked idolatry, and the dangers of misinformation in fandoms. And maybe finally answer, "Who is AltNPS?" (Credit in 🧵)

If ya'll see some of my scheduled post just pop-up for my next video, I deleted them, because I realized YouTube, for some reason, messed up my audio when the video went public. I'm reuploading the video again.

Man, American car-centric infrastructure is insane. My local mom and pop hardware store is just a 2 minutes walk away. The next nearest is just another 30 seconds away.
So what do you do if you don't have such a store? The nearest hardware stores to me are sixty miles away (Ace and Bomgaars).

I once made a video about Singapore's death penalty and its racist colonial history. But I feel like I want to revisit this story.

So I just went 3 days without checking the news so I could recover from being sick. And I just have to say... what the actual fudge is happening?

I won't link the "Alt" NPS post, but there's really something cynical about writing murder fantasies about a city you're not connected to.

It reads cynical, too. No soul in it, because they've got no soul in CLT.

A heartfelt plea should at least have heart in it, right?

Seriously, AltNPS is a plague. Literal plague. I've been making deep dive videos for 3 years now. And following AltNPS is the first time I fell sick from overworking on a story. Like, I uploaded the video for early access, and immediately fell sick.

Like I said. Plague.

But this is the part that pisses me off: "And almost no one is talking about it."

AltNPS is trying to imply that while ALMOST no one is talking about this, THEY are.

But someone IS talking about it. Her name is Zoe Tillman. She's a senior reporter at Bloomberg.

As someone in the midst of these suits, I can personally attests this is one of the most draconian and anti free speech law and country out there.
The Singapore government issued a “Correction Direction” to Malaysian news website MalaysiaNow under the anti-“fake news” law. Failing to comply w/ a Correction Direction is an offence in Singapore.

MalaysiaNow has released a statement essentially telling the Singapore government to fuck off

Note to self, never type something half asleep. I sound drunk.
The distrust is always twofold now. Because of messed up AltNPS is, it makes me pause at each their statement. This is why journalistic integrity is important, even when you're not a journalist and just an aggregator like AltNPS, like myself.
Mixed feelings here. Dominion Voting Systems having a GOP-aligned new owner is cause for concern, but I'm not quite comfortable with the way AltNPS is talking about this.

Let's (quickly) talk about why 🧵:

Romania confirms one of Moscow's drones hit its territory, near the River Danube where Putin's horde were terrorising residents of Reni.

I alternate between international bad news story and local (Singapore) bad news story, because if I don't do a bit of both, the dread will consume me whole.

Yes, AltNPS is wrong on all counts.

No one but the Speaker may swear her in unless the House votes to approve it.

Powell didn't hold what AltNPS claims it did.

And it does not mean a judge, nor anyone else, "steps in."

It's complete batshit. Happy to provide more.

Springboarding off of Andy's good example:

• Powell *did* hold the House couldn't *add* a qualification not in the Constitution, then exclude a Rep.-elect *because* of it.

• Powell *didn't* hold the House could *never* vote to exclude a Rep.-elect who meets the constitutional qualifications.

My first experience with BlueAnon types defending AltNPS. It's really uncomfortable and a little scary, tbh. The misunderstanding of stuff. AltWatcher was right in that it really reminds me of QAnon. I can see the person doing an insurrection on AltNPS's behalf if AltNPS ever went off the deep end.

Your town is in danger, and through the power of innkeeping you can save it.

Who knew that brewing coffee, scrambling eggs, and photographing a cute duck could have such an impact on people's lives.
