Can you OD on #schadenfreude?

Twitter gave me a meaningful voice where I could interact with journalists, politicians, academics, experts, and thoughtful people from all walks of life. I learned on Twitter, I shared my thoughts (and very rarely feelings), I had a real sense of community. I challenged other people in academia & technology to boldly back objectivity & democracy ... Fun to watch Musk burn $44 billion, but I mourn the loss of the central square that truly existed for the a hot second.

Twitter's (slow & hysterical) Death is Sad

I was very active on Twitter for a number of reasons, but first and foremost: it gave me a meaningful voice where I could interact with top journalists, politicians, academics, experts, and thoughtful people from all walks of life. I learned on Twitter, I shared my thoughts (and

Interesting angle is that Alito's absurd, sad diatribe (i.e., the dissent) included (unfounded) accusations that President Biden might not abide by their right-wing-extremist judicial activism if there were able to ban abortion pills for all of US. This seems to disturb Political & Media Elite a lot. But, while I do not think President Biden would ignore such a ruling, I think they should consider doing that just that! What is the plan if/when the Courts' ruling are too dangerous to follow?

I hope they force every editor at The New York Times to read this opinion piece in The New York Times showing how the mainstream media (led by The New York Times) by emphasizing isolated examples of right-wing-extremists not being loved on elite universities WHILE ignoring Republican states using states to make swaths of speech illegal, they have misinformed all of US on the true threat to free speech https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/21/opinion/free-speech-campus-states-not-students.html

Abortion pill access is safe, for now, but with 2 Republicans justices dissenting and somewhere between 5 & 7 in the majority: we know Republicans already have between 2 & 4 votes to make abortion pills illegal for all of US

Key questions (1) Will President just accept absurdly unconstitutional judicial activism from Supreme Court? (2) How complicit will the Mainstream Media be in covering up the Republican intentions and actions?

Republican Supreme Court gave until 11:59 PM ET for them to rule on the absurdly unconstitutional judicial activism of the Trump judge who banned the abortion pill for all of US. By even entertaining this BS, clear that Republican Supreme Court will eventually ban abortion & contraception for all of US, they are just figuring out timing and details.

So, how are things going over here?

Republican Elite have provided continuous support for Russia (right-wing petrostate autohrariansism) over Ukraine (western capitalistic democracy) https://post.news/article/2L5rWN2JZqj7AZYqRdIfmwkLPUl Any other interpretation is absurd & easily debunked.
