No warning. I report on Elon Musk and other topics for The Washington Post and will keep doing so because free speech and transparency are important for the world.
In the last few days I ... wrote about Elon Musk. I posted links to publicly available, legally acquired data as well as links to Mastodon, which also now is banned on Twitter.
Elon Musk is free to ban whoever he wants from Twitter, just like people are free to take their speech somewhere else.

To all the people who “don’t see race” or are “colour blind” or “a-racial”.
Stop it.
Just stop.
I am damn proud to be Black.
Being Black is cool as shit.
I love my black skin.
The music is awesome.
The food rocks. The jokes are hilarious. The fellowship is healing.
I want everybody to fully see and celebrate my expression of Blackness.
What I don’t want,
is to be fucked over by a system that cannot handle the glory of people being different.

Jon SullivanIn today's New York Times a Homeowner Association tried to force a Maryland couple with a native garden to change to a tidy lawn. The complaint was that their garden was "attracting rodents, deer, snakes and bats, and that they were planting shrubs and bushes in no particular order." Yes, in no particular order!
Legal proceedings ensued and there's now a state law forbidding homeowner associations from banning eco-friendly gardens.

EvaTexas attorney general Ken Paxton has reportedly asked for a list of everyone who changed their sex on state documents in the past two years. Why? Paxton's office hasn't said. When asked for docs, they said none exist.
I'm sure it's no big deal. They just want a list of transgender people in Texas so they can send them milk and cookies.

Augie RayI'm not saying there are a lot of viral infections going around right now, but when the NY Times feels the need to publish a list of symptoms so you can figure out which of four illnesses you have, that might be saying something.
The rate of COVID positive testing is at its highest point in three months in the US. The US rate of flu hospitalization is up 50 to 100% in the past two weeks across all age groups. Masks on to protect yourself and your family this holiday season!
