Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 19, 2021

Twitter has a rule buried deep in the terms that users are not allowed to lie. So everything must be true.

Twitter outsources the fact verification to Facebook who outsource their fact checking to Reddit who relies on What’s App who fact checks their feeds with Twitter.

I tawt I taw an actwess do dirty tings!

. . .

I did! I did tee an actwess do dirty tings!

Never bothered w/Twitter myself.

Wikipedia will confirm it all.

You are so naive.

Now we understand.

Twitter nearly got banned here in India for not doing just that!

I call people who use Twitter “Twits” as it seems more relevant.

If it’s on the internet it must be true!

I was tweeting in school and the teacher told me stop tweeting, you’re not a bird.

Nope..no critical thinking here.

twitter isn’t even an accurate representation of America, it’s just a bunch of bots and a few approved accounts.

Calling it “the Twitter” is a pro move.

That is where the Fartbook checkers go to work once they get laid off.

The HORROR!!

How right-wing populism exploded……………………right-wing populists?:

So then just watch the news……. Oh well.oops

I thought it was Facebook that had “fact checkers.”

Twitter isn’t the best place for information.

If anyone dares to tell the truth, it gets banned on twitter.

Oh, poor, sweet, innocent Pig…

It’s the old Roman saying modified: But who will fact-check the fact-checkers….

Twitter is for Twits.

This is why I’m a genius. I stay off the Twitter and its fellow social media platforms. Makes your life so much happier.

Why so many “articles” begin with, “You won’t believe, what…..”

Nails it! Social Media in a nutshell.

I remember the commercial on TV in which the young lady had a date with a “French Model” she met on the internet, because if she saw it on the internet, it must be true. I can still hear the “French Model” greeting her with “bone jerwer.”

When did it become “The” Twitter? Is it like “The Batman”?

Social media summarized in four easy panels. Sidenote: why is Pig saying “the Twitter” like the Crocs saying “da Google”?

Pig, it can only be true if you actually clarify what bad stuff this actress did.

Pretty much the way the last election was decided. Without looking it up, can anyone tell me Joe Biden’s et al’s platform? Not hating, just asking to prove a point. We need to think for ourselves and ignore social media and biased news agencies (on both sides) when making an important choice.

Elvis IS alive.But he’s so ashamed about CHANGE OF HABIT that he’s still hiding.

So very true. Twitter’s name is an insult to birds…

The writer was Rat, that don’t surprise me.

“…the Twitter.” Is Pig from the South, where they also say “the Walmart” and “the Piggly Wiggly”?

A little bird told me.

Now I remember why I quit.

Tweety “I think I saw a Puddy Cat!”

I was there; I helped her do it….Live on Fox and Fiends, so it must be true.

Yeah, all thouse thousands are just Rat.

Do not believe anything you read on social media, Pig. Chances are that it’s either false, out of context, or mean-spirited. Trolls infect the internet!
