@Lockdownyourlife oh you laugh, but I think self-DDOS is the only good feature that Elon's released. Genius.
@ericbrignac @Popehat @mmasnick @pluralistic the rule of goats is essentially if someone does or says something, does it really matter if it is with irony or for the lols? Even if you fuck goats as a joke, you’re still a goat fucker. So it’s about public persona and perhaps playing a character vs. the “real” person and if in the end it makes a difference.
could have spent a full year spitballing how musk was going to kill Twitter and couldn’t have come up with anything close to the unbelievable dipshittery of “users can only read 600 tweets a day” like, what do they put in billionaire cocaine anyway
Maybe I’m missing some things on here because I’m not here as much as I used to, but it’s amazing how much the Durham report has already disappeared from my view. The MAGAs who were all chortling about it seem to have already moved on. So much for this damning report.
A lesson I need to periodically learn. I can help you through a crisis, I cannot help you if you’re the crisis. This is true no matter how hard I may try.
It's perfectly reasonable to say that the state should not fund public universities at the levels it used to. I disagree and think the slow motion privatization of public higher ed is bad, but so be it. What's not reasonable is to expect that public universities like UW - Madison will be subject to any and all state regulations - of an increasing stringency & intrusion - while the public funding continually declines as a share of total resources. Unfunded mandates are bad.
Everyone loves "Nothing, Forever," the little Twitch Seinfeld parody....
It was Republicans who insisted on American-flag pins as a sign of patriotism—a loyalty oath in the form of jewelry. Now they’re pledging their allegiance elsewhere.
The Republican AR-15 pins are very appropriate because they do love guns more than they love America.

I've said it before and I'll say it again -- I'm not getting more liberal, but I am definitely getting more anti-"conservative," as that term is degraded and debased by the modern Right.

Tyre Nichols wasn't murdered because of "affirmative action"

Rather than defend an indefensible murder, right-wing pundits have latched on to a narrative that's somehow even more appalling
