@idoubtit They won't be getting my clicks. In fact, I promise that the first interviewer who gives Musk a softball question, or the first news org that does both-sides-ism, I promise they will NEVER get my money or my attention again FOREVER.

Hit them in the wallet. It's the only thing they understand.

increasingly, I believe that the destruction of Musk's Twitter is crucial for the preservation of American democracy. I was neutral on this until the past few days. But it's now obvious that his intentions -- and actions -- are aimed in part at promoting right-wing extremism.

The Murdoch family is still the greater threat, but Musk looks set to supersede them as a force for evil.

Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with a slow Internet connection to see who they really are.

If you speak a #language other than English, and it has an expression equivalent to "swear like a ____", referring to a specific occupation like sailor, cart driver, etc., let me know! I've gathered a few examples, but the more data I get, the better. #linguistics #languages #swearing #profanity #research
