57. Could "Latest Trump BS" be extended some way to incorporate the BS from Musk?

It's usually as trolly and distracting as anything Trump spouts. At the moment they overlap, and that may change, but I don't know how long you envisage these new forums lasting, and adjustments to developing reality could be made.

On the much-maligned Twitter, the amount I read about or from both Musk and Trump is every limited because of the way I have it set up. If I feel the need to check out what they're up to, I can search there or visit a hashtag there, and hell mend me if I do. Otherwise, I see far more about them on DU than I do on Twitter, and that's been the case for a long, long time. And those OPs usually seem to get the most attention.
