Mike :verified:Imagine being a working man's idiot spending your life grinding out a rent check making an ass of yourself online and this guy comes along. Your Benny Johnsons, your Rich Lowrys. Imagine how every hometown 215 lb mechanic felt watching Chuck Wepner knock down Ali. People will end it all over this.
Jemal Cole Loves Each of YouHey folks, I need your help!
About 40 years ago, I watched a TV variety show special, and I can’t find any trace of it online. It was set in Hazzard County (as in Dukes of) and had Roscoe and Boss Hogg getting suspicious of the show as part of the premise. The performers included the B-52s and Air Supply, and the local yokels thought that sounded like talk of an invasion.
Did you see it? Do you remember any details? Or have an idea where to look? Let me know!
Edit: answered! Thanks all!!
Alex StamosThis claim is false.
Law enforcement has the ability to get stored communications from companies like Twitter under 18 USC 2703(d). This is a famous "d-order" that has to be signed by a judge.
Companies can demand reimbursement under 2706. You can argue that 2703 should have a higher standard, but if the government can get to user data should it be free or should the companies ask for a nominal cost?
This is absolutely nothing to do with content moderation.
They wouldn’t feel a thing. We’ll be greeted as liberators.
We need to abduct Lisa Snowden and Becky Witt.

Carl T. BergstromScience education in an age of twitter disinformation
tl;dr — Science education needs to adapt to a world of misinformation on social media and beyond. Today, prominent antivaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tweeted the ridiculous claim that as director of the NIAID, Dr. Fauci bought the silence of the entire worldwide virology community by handing out research grants. Elon Musk then affirmed and amplified his claim.
It’s growing on me, too. Certainly seeing the potential as more accounts come online and more of them make engaging posts.
(It’s also a less obstructed view of the glorious reds, purples, and oranges being thrown off by Elon’s antics in the Twitterdämmerung.)
