Little Senator Marco wants to ban TikTok to save us from the Chinese government. Heaven forbid the Chinese government get access to my personal kitty kat video watching data. It might get them to trick me into buying Chinese made kitty kat toyz! Good thing useful idiot South African apartheid boy can have all the kitty kat data he wants. Praise the Lord for our hardworking patriotic congressman!

Rep. Sherman's turn. He has not been quiet in the past about his distaste for crypto.
"My fear is that we'll view Sam Bankman-Fried as just one big snake in a crypto garden of Eden. The fact is, crypto is a garden of snakes."

Imagine how shitty you have to be to get booed by people who are still willing to pay money to go see Dave Chapelle
Regulating cryptocurrency is about as useful as regulating unicorns. We need more congressman, talking this way:

Will Smith’s roll in King Richard was snubbed by the academy for an Oscar nomination. Queue the conservative outrage over “woke” Hollywood and cancelled Will Smith. 🤮
Can anyone explain why the fuck “Ancient Alien Civilizations” is on “The History Channel”? The same reason they call Fox “news”?

We don't need to pretend to find this mysterious.

File under dribs and drabs: for those that might not know, Orange county was thick with the Klan for the better part of the 20th century. In fact, they really never went away and are alive and well in places like Huntington Beach. However, this is a pretty big deal:
I used to know a woman that for years complained incessantly about her abusive husband and how much she wanted to leave… and never did. He died, she had regrets. Twitter ain’t your goddamn spouse. Get on with it with will you? Please? And then quit talking about it, because it does no one any good.
Looking desperately forward to the day when I can say "Twitter" and people will briefly look perplexed and then roll their eyes and make the "I just threw up in my mouth" sound.
The confederacy was never given a proper burial. Poetic justice would be that those most harmed by the confederacy would finally put a bullet in the zombie. I wasn’t sure what I thought of this when I first saw it, but after the Warnock a victory in Georgia, it’s starting to make sense to me.

1/ Someone asked, "How can basic HTML pages be social media -- and create something resembling the public square?" So here's a thread 🧵
If you were not around to witness the early web, let me explain what it was like.
During the 90s, most websites just used HTML. CSS and JavaScript existed in the latter part of the decade, but they were entirely optional.
The appeal of the web wasn't "rich media". Again, that came later.
What made the web exciting is what also made it social: hyperlinking

@rvawonk RW-ers are so convinced that everyone hates "the other" as much as they do that chaos will automatically result in a "race war". The only people waging such a thing are RW-ers against the rest of us. The rest of us know exactly who the problem is here.
A day without coffee is like…nah, ain’t gonna happen.
File under useless historical comparisons and statistics: Pundits keep repeating how this is the first time since 1934 that Georgia has had two democrats in the Senate along with the presidency. Weren’t the Democrats in 1934 the party of the Klan? How is this comparison even worth noting?

Hello, Mastodon! My #introduction: I've worn a lot of hats in my life, but right now, I'm agitating and organizing for the democratic populist rebellion as I approach my 80th (!) year of life here in Texas. I've been the Ag Commissioner of Texas, editor of @TexasObserver, a NYT best selling author, a radio show host & a podcaster, and more. Also: beer fan & foodie. You can win me over with a solid, local IPA and good eats any day of the week. ✊
