“Herschel claimed he used to let me beat him in basketball but then he admittedwe never actually met.
He’s also been talking about issues that are of great importance to the people of Georgia like if it’s better to be a vampire or a werewolf.. This is a debate that I must confess I once had myself.. when I was 7!”

@alaric @DataDrivenMD Exactly. As I’ve said before, people rationalize their staying as some noble act when, in fact, they like it there. The followers, the attention, and the immediate feedback. If there was ever a place to boycott, Muskrat’s is it.
@DeanObeidallah Elon is a national security threat.
@DeanObeidallah Musk is pumping out Kremlin propaganda faster than you can say “My Tesla is on fire!” He is a Russian asset, as are Kanye, Trump, and plenty in the GOP (which unfortunately will be made crystal clear when they slash funding to Ukraine.)
@DeanObeidallah Elon Musk is no friend of Democracy. Elon Musk is s self-serving wannabe emperor of the world with an extreme God complex. Musk is a clear and present danger to Democracy and decency around the world. Politicians everywhere bowing before billionaires is an extreme problem.
The incoming GOP majority is going to try and discredit the work of the Jan. 6 Committee. Remember the courage of honorable conservatives like Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger when the extremists begin their assault. They had nothing to gain by opposing their party and Trump, and everything to lose. But they stood up anyway for the rule of law and for democracy.

How are we seeing more hospitalizations right now compared to last year if reinfection is benign?
Right now the only logical conclusion is to assume we are going to see another massive wave of #LongCovid — If we don’t, that’s great — but to assume otherwise is irresponsible.

EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk has used Twitter polls to justify moves such as reinstating Trump’s account, but employees tell Rolling Stone the social network’s surveys are magnets for bots. They’re literally designed to be spammed and gamed. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/elon-musk-twitter-polls-are-bot-driven-bullsht-1234639288/
BREAKING: The 11th Circuit has ordered an end to the special master review of thousands of docs seized from Trump's Mar-a-Lago, reversing an injunction that has blocked DOJ from using records for months in a criminal investigation. More to come.

Seeing some posts talking about fediblocking turning Mastodon into a "filter bubble." No. We absolutely do not need abusive or fascist views to have a high level of intellectual diversity. Full stop. That hate can fester somewhere else.
After 20 years of social media, the experiment has been run. Hateful people are unconvinced by rational argument, so there's no point engaging with them.
This is a rotten, disingenuous, meritless argument, from A to Z.
Fascism is to be defeated, not debated.
