@waldoj with tons of exceptions! For example, if you have a bunch of big balls and you’re distinguishing one of them from another, you’d say, the “red big ball is closer than the green big ball.”
I know a lot of the takes will be "Then why is he still on it" and... fair. But this a pretty lucid description of how Elon has turned Twitter into a Nazi factory by Mark Cuban, even as it grows in irrelevance to the rest of the world.

early in the pandemic i remember reading this comment from someone about how covid might traumatize us about their grandma who lived through the 1918 flu pandemic. they said that until her death she was always very worried about the flu and she would always make sure her house was very well ventilated by leaving windows or doors open

i fucking get it now. their grandma wasn't traumatized, their grandma knew it never went away even if people pretended it had, she knew that airborne respiratory viruses were really bad for you, and she knew ventilation helped keep them away from her

this poor woman, people treating her like she was traumatized and crazy all her life when *she knew* what was what better than most people
