Oh my.

@Mediaite conservative writer Isaac Schorr misread the Twitter account @joinmastodon as "John Mastodon," and said that the open source social media software was named after this imaginary person. https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/hypocrisy-and-fear-all-the-way-down-at-twitter/

Hypocrisy and Fear All the Way Down at Twitter

After you’ve drawn such a strong distinction on speech and human freedom, you can’t make any mistake about the side on which you belong.

There’s the Streisand Effect for you: A mystery buyer bought a Charlottesville weekly’s archives only to wipe them from the internet - apparently to erase several stories about rape allegations he faced in college. Now the Washington Post is writing about it. @mmasnick https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/12/14/hook-charlottesville-vanished-archive/

A newspaper vanished from the internet. Did someone pay to kill it?

The Hook, a Charlottesville weekly, closed in 2013 but web archives survived until 22,000 stories vanished in June. Speculation swirls around a mystery buyer.

If we understand that 10-year-old brains are not fully formed to the extent that they can decide to drink or smoke or consent to sex or do algebra, how can we hold them as responsible as adults when it comes to crime?

Nope, Sorry, It's STILL Not Okay To Charge 10-Year-Olds As Adults

But in Wisconsin it's the law.

The "blue checks" thing wouldn't have been an issue if they had only ever been given to very famous celebrities. The fact that journalists and writers he and others hadn't ever heard of had them as well was what drove them up the wall.

It's pretty clear at this point that the whole point of everything Musk has been doing with Twitter, and the reason he bought it in the first place, has been to shut down/punish journalists who don't kiss his ass.

It’s all “free speech” and games until real journalists are banned from major social media platforms because they’re owned by petulant billionaires
