Just remember when Trump accuses someone of something aweful what he’s really doing is admitting self guilt. Taken through that lens, his whining accusal of “foreign interests” influencing SCOTUS makes perfect sense.

Left-handed people have always existed and will always exist. We are happier, healthier, more capable when we just use our dominant hand (or hands) to write, and do complex tasks.

It's possible to try to force everyone to use the same hand this leads to frustration, can hinder education. It is pointless.

You don't need to worry about what hand other people use. It's none of your business.

If you have never thought about this be glad your dominant hand was the one everyone expected.

TikTok is saying that it will give Trump whatever he wants. They'll give him credit for "saving" TikTok and it probably won't stop there - algorithms that promote pro-Trump propaganda.

TikTok shut itself down even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban - so that they could give Trump a win.

They lie and say that they've been shut down by the government. Then they say that Trump will give their users back their favorite toy - a pro-Trump message.

Using TikTok will mean being propagandized over the next four years.

So, we’re going to spend billions of dollars deporting people whose labor we exploit to hold down food costs while also surrendering all the taxes they pay without receiving benefits.

Yep, sounds like the genius who managed to bankrupt casinos.

Today on Techdirt I wrote about two newly proposed state laws, one from the Texas GOP and one from the Florida GOP, both of which are blatantly, laughably unconstitutional attacks on free speech and the first amendment in pursuit of culture war nonsense. But never let the GOP claim that they support the 1st Amendment when they constantly pull shit like this.
