"Much of the moral panic over “cancel culture” – which animated Musk to buy Twitter in the first place – is a reaction to the fact that traditionally marginalized groups gained technological means to affect the political debate."

I'm genuinely actually quite shocked to see an article in the mainstream news media acknowledging the reality here.

Prayers for those living on the Pine Ridge reservation. This is a nightmare.

I gave a glib answer when my daughter asked what I wanted for #Christmas . I now have world peas.

I hate it

The NORAD Twitter account has been suspended for doxxing the location of Santa's sleigh.

The long awaited affordable SU-34 keychain has finally arrived, with all the key details about the plane’s last flight engraved.

On the first day of Christmas: J. Robert Oppenheimer cleared of being suspected Soviet spy after 68 years. Manhattan Project physicist and "father of the atomic bomb" was infamously stripped of his security clearance in 1954. https://arstechnica.com/?post_type=post&p=1905727

Merry Christmas to everyone who didn’t try to overthrow their government and commit a violent insurrection to attempt to stay in office!! 🎄🎁🎅🏻

I hope 2023 brings better things to you, my friends, than it does to TFG.

Rudolph the Red‐Nosed Reindeer is my favorite Christmas story about how Santa's reindeer are bigots until they need someones help.

My son has been asking a lot of questions this Christmas season, and I'm worried it might be the last year he believes that Bitcoin is real.

Hey, I forgot - Merry Christmas to all my followers, and everyone else who celebrates!

I wish I had better news about Buffalo but the city is in a state of emergency. To summarize the overnight police scanner:

- Hundreds of people trapped in cars.
- Thousands without power and freezing in their homes for 30h+
- Everything is on fire - cars, houses, everything.
- Emergency crews are trying but they're stuck. Fire engines breaking down all over the place. The Nat'l guard showed up and got stuck, too.
- 7 people are confirmed dead.

Descendants of executed Dakota 38+2 ride to Mankato to honor ancestors | MPR News

For what may be the last time, Dakota riders on horseback are braving bitter December weather to travel hundreds of miles to honor 38 men hanged in the largest mass execution in U.S. history. The ride also remembers the many others who died as a result of the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862.

'The VIP Lane saw firms with little or no history of trading in PPE being awarded multi-million pound contracts without having to go through a tendering process. Arco – with a 135-year history in safety and PPE – was left in the dark.'

Mrs. Burcham scolded me sternly, warned there would be severe consequences if this ever happened again, and made sure to speak loudly enough so teachers and staff could hear.

She also did her best to hide the grin creeping on a corner of her mouth

RIP. She was a great educator
