We’ve been endlessly entertained and appreciative ever since Twitter’s Community Notes started doing fact-checks, and many of them have been for tweets from lefties who used to lie with abandon and aren’t used to having their BS called out.
Today’s Community Note hilarity started when MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan tweeted about crime and received a Community Note fact-checking:
"White people kill other white people at almost the same rate black people kill other black people & yet you never hear anyone complaining about 'white on white crime'. These aren't points of sage wisdom from Maher. They are classic racist dog whistles."pic.twitter.com/VZlCoqfet9

Hasan then complained about the above Community Note and claimed Community Notes is a “weapon of the right on Twitter” (does Hasan know that Musk voted for Biden?):
If you had any doubt that @CommunityNotes has become another weapon of the right on Musk’s Twitter, see the BS community note added to my Bill Maher clip, after MAGA folks demanded it. It makes a point that is irrelevant to the one I am making (re intraracial ‘rates* of killing.) pic.twitter.com/GXZrli4Lx9

A double Community Noting! Maybe he should go for the rare Community Note trifecta.

Yeah, it does make for a good weekend chuckle!
Mehdi Hasan is upset that the fact checkers on Twitter aren’t doing the dirty work of establishment leftists. https://t.co/fMIQFRISGV

This guy getting repeatedly mogged by community notes for trying to say that we shouldn't care about black murder rates because they're mostly just killing other black people is maybe the funniest thing on Twitter this week. https://t.co/9QAk8Me4oB

Don’t make him take his ball and go home, Elon Musk:
This site is becoming more unusable by the day. Can’t see replies or mentions from people I follow, or normal folks, as it’s all full of blue-check MAGA trolls.
Old Twitter was occasionally toxic but usable.
New Twitter is often toxic *and* unusable.Good job Elon (!)

Jack Dorsey has a new social media platform. Maybe lefties unhappy with Twitter since Musk took over could find a new home with the old “boss.”
