Streisand effect: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia

Not that I believe even this Republican Senate will confirm Kennedy as HHS head, but America's adversaries are surely overcome with joy as the Trump regime does everything in its power to destroy public health.

What kind of an idiot just asks people to quit randomly, without first reaching out those he does NOT want to quit?
People who are speculating on what Trump may or may not do regarding 2024 seem to constantly ascribe critical thinking and self-awareness to a man who clearly has none. How many times do you need to learn this lesson?
@jbf1755 I'm not a big cable news fan anymore, but I tuned in to see you. Thank you for your insightful comments as usual!

The implosion of Twitter and migration to Mastodon has been fascinating. For one thing, it's like if everyone abandoned Windows all at once and switched to Linux.

The other thing is...why is this happening? Is Elon Musk the dumbest person on Earth? Is there some other motive that I'm not seeing? I am really at a loss here. It's entertaining, though!
