Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Set myself up with a Twitter/X account about 4 weeks ago purely to follow a few people. Jesus it is a jungle. The amount of bigotry and hate on there is incredible and it seems to be encouraged by Elon Musk. Social media like that is definitely fuelling the hate marches that we are seeing taking place today. Thankfully the right wing were outnumbered in Belfast today but embarrassing that it even happened.
X is awful. I’ve noticed since it stopped being twitter how political, argumentative and right wing it is. I never go on it and a lot of people I know are just deleting it.
 
Well does 3 count as a goal fest? Very enjoyable pre season game, the new lads looked ok and their goals were brilliant. Ended up not going out as the lads wanted to come closer home for their night out so sat on the couch enjoying a big bottle of Madri in an appropriate glass 🍺💙

I joined Twitter, as was, for exactly the same reason - mostly to follow Everton stuff. I binned it off mid lockdown. It was horrible. A really toxic environment. I do believe it affected my mental wellbeing. The only account I miss is the Merseyside Police Horses, who are all adorable.
Toxic is the apt word for it. It has given voice yet anonymity to hate filled empty heads. I have always welcomed opposing views to my own for debate, @peteblue a good example in politics, but jeez I wouldn’t even want to try and engage some people on there.
 

I only went on because I couldn’t see it unless I had an account, all the posts seemed to stop since Musk bought it.
X can be an excellent source of material and information you want to read or watch. The trick is to go straight to the source by googling the account/s you want to see. You get the odd nob on there but it's normally 99% like minded people. Plus over time you get to know similar accounts. X isn't all bad. I never ever go on my home page. I'm not even sure I know how to.😀

Cheers Val. Been on the Spingo. Now on the red wine.

I must be hitting the wrong links then buddy. Yes I love it for the people I want to read but jeez. Not as if it is tracking my preferences, couldn’t be with the right wing stuff it’s feeding me.
 
Difficult to explain how much Armagh winning Sam Maguire has meant to us all here. We are fanatical about our team and have had some heartbreaking days the last 3 years, largely due to penalties. I’m a devout Evertonian but Armagh is in my DNA. My people, my family and my heart.

Our county has had a hard year. A young woman, Natalie McNally, was murdered and then we had the trauma of the Grimley/McElvanna road fatalities. Natalie’s family are all Blues and her father told me after the game it is the first time he has smiled since she passed.

I know the Grimleys and McElvannas and was in a bad place after the accident. @Barnfred 55 reached out to me and it was much appreciated to know you are thought about.

I cried my eyes out at the final whistle and I wasn’t on my own. I cried at the Carrickdale homecoming and also at Armagh. I cried when talking to our manager on Tuesday then cried again when talking to the captain. It’s a release I think, for the whole county, not just me.

I watched the end of it and the cup presentation, the captain ( I think he was) done a brilliant speech at the end, made up for you mate
