Stupid, but Occasionally Entertaining

Yes, I know, this does narrow this down much, so I'll note that this is the Apartheid Era Emerald Heir Pedo Guy™, aka Elon Musk.

Musk came up with a wicked new feature for Ecch (formerly Twitter) where the country of initial login became available on a user's profile.

To be clear, I mean, "Wicked," in the New England vernacular, which is a positive adjective.

While there are some obvious privacy issues, this level of transparency does provide an ample opportunity for much amusement and even more schadenfreude.

You see, many of the most popular MAGAt posters turned out to be the equivalent of Nigerian 419 scammers.

Elon Musk’s social media site X has rolled out a new feature in an effort to increase transparency—and unwittingly revealed that many of the site’s top MAGA influencers are actually foreign actors.

The new “About This Account” feature, which became available to X users on Friday, allows others to see where an account is based, when they joined the platform, how often they have changed their username, and how they downloaded the X app. 

Upon rollout, rival factions began to inspect just where their online adversaries were really based on the combative social platform—with dozens of major MAGA and right-wing influencer accounts revealed to be based overseas.

“This is easily one of the greatest days on this platform,” wrote Democratic influencer Harry Sisson.

Sorry, Mr. Sisson, but you are wrong.  Who can forget Leopards eating peoples faces or the, (since deleted) "Just came back from the centrist rally," tweet

Dozens of major accounts masquerading as “America First” or “MAGA” proponents have been identified as originating in places such as Russia, India, and Nigeria.

In one example, the account MAGANationX—with nearly 400,000 followers and a bio reading “Patriot Voice for We The People”—is actually based in Eastern Europe.

In the grand scheme of things, this ain't much, but it's worth a laugh.
