Remember: Twitter is Elon's company, he has the free speech and free association right to run it pretty much however he wants and to ban people for petty narcissistic reasons.

And we have the right to laugh and point at his ridiculousness and at the free-speech pretenses of his gullible fans.

My brother and sister-in-law are both nagging to know why I haven't been banned yet.

Trying to strategize how to go out in style...

Yes, Muskrat just suspended Aaron Rupar, one of the best accounts on the hellsite.

Holy crap.

I feel a major migration coming our way.

Musk's suspension of tech journalists from Twitter is, on balance, the best thing that can happen right now. Not because it's a good idea, but because it's such a transcendentally stupid move.

It highlights the vile and capricious way the new CEO and part-owner has operated.

It highlights his contempt for freedom of expression, which he claims to revere.

And it will lead to an even more rapid exodus of people who want civility and usefulness online.

It’s wild that we can see images like this from NASA’s Webb Telescope - galaxies hundreds of millions of light years away, stars being born & dying - and yet carry on ravaging the planet as if it’s not miraculous that somehow, we’re here.

A tiny speck of sand in the vastness of the cosmos. #space

The view from NASA's Artemis mission yesterday is just...words fail me.

I wrote about the bill here: https://charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/i-hate-the-senate-bill-and-we-need#details
