It's time to forget about shaming Elon Musk. The whole point of his vile attack on Fauci is to Trigger The Libs. Shaming him only persuades his followers he's "drawing blood." We have to adapt to the reality that he is waging right wing information warfare.

Musk’s ugly attack on Fauci shows how right-wing info warfare works

For Elon Musk, the « Triggering » is the point.

@GregSargent

Much as Musk irritates me, I feel like the best rational response is to ignore him.

@worm @GregSargent @Aerik agree but it’s hard to replace. There seems to be less going on here and/or I don’t have enough follows yet

@mac2323 You probably don't. It doesn't really start getting interesting here until you follow at least 200 people. @worm @GregSargent @Aerik

@dennis_jernberg tell me about your upcoming novel?
Show threadDennis JernbergDec 13, 2022
@mac2323 Spanner In The Works. I conceived it (20 years ago?! that long) originally as a webmanga full of anime cyberpunk homage but it quickly turned into a bitter superhero satire. It's a science fiction political thriller, set in an alternate (originally future) fascist America, and the title character is a "Banksy wannabe" who turns major-league culture jammer in a plot based on the Macintosh 1984 ad and who's really series heroine Sia disguised as a masked graffiti artist.

@dennis_jernberg interesting. Lot going on there. You’ve got a publisher I guess?

@mac2323 Not yet. I don't have a complete final draft to submit yet, so I'll get around to that once I finish it, hopefully next year.
