Presumably you have to log in to see it by default, so the process of exporting said information and posting it in a far more public forum could be considered 'leaking'.
I assume you could screen grab it but he would just claim it is AI. At this point don't care if it is real or not. Just saying based on the past of Republicans there is a reasonable chance it is real.

How many times have you heard right wing media, Trump and other conservatives use the line "people are saying". They can spread rumors while at the same time absolve themselves from blame. Look at this interview from Mike Sexy Johnson doing that very thing.

People are saying FBI agents were onsite Jan 6 and created a false flag operation
30 years of Fox News training.

Is it illegal to share a link to someone's grindr profile or something? Why not just post it?
Hence my suspicion of engagement bait.
And as of now, well, it's past Wednesday and she wasn't sworn in, where's the info?
BTW, many people are saying the Republicans shut down the government to avoid swearing her in, so that they don't have to vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Then he's perfect for the MAGA party.
Think of the implications of the term being a tool. Sounds like a person who is merely an inert instrumentality for others. A spiritual person might use the term soulless or even ghoulish when performance animated. What I find so sad is that personally can't believe a person so bereft of inner integrity can be blissfully unaware of it. I can't believe is isn't inwardly tortured conscious of it or not.

This opinion piece exploring shitposting seems a bit relevant here:

“Liberal encomiums to civil discourse can feel pious, but as shitposting stretches public decorum to breaking point, what remains is an incoherent politics of cruelty that licenses outrage for its own sake.”

Do you know about shitposting? It’s cheap humour, rage bait – and now, it seems, US government policy | Robert Topinka | The Guardian

Thanks for that. It’ll make it easier to call out some posters here who obviously subscribe to that culture.
