i think that i shall never see a poem as lovely as a WHAT THE HELL IS THAT

@chargrille It is additionally galling that companies and governments collect data on every damn thing now *except* COVID. Mass license plate readers? Sure! Pay for those eggs with an x-ray of your skeleton? Sounds great. Monitor a dangerous infectious disease? Hey whoa now, the emergency is over. It's like upside down land.

Anyway I plan to get boosted when the shots are out. It's a no-brainer. Just a bit frustrating 🤦

My letter to the editor of the local paper, which I suspect they won’t publish.

FBI to Trumpist lackeys threatening Fulton County officials and grand jurors: See y'all real soon.

FBI joins investigation of threats to grand jurors in Trump Georgia case

Local police departments have been monitoring threats against the jurors and are prepared to respond quickly if needed, according to an official.

The Washington Post

Over at Twitter, Musk is deleting the "Block" option except for DMs. Given the increasing numbers of extremists there, this is guaranteed to piss off all kinds of people who routinely get trolled. Based on experience and observation, journalists are among them.

When will journalists realize they should leave that vile platform, and bring their followers to better places like this one?

Maybe now?

This dude proves EVERYDAY that he knows NOTHING about the $44B toy he broke as soon as he took it out the box 😂🤣😂

Musk is getting rid of blocking on Xitter because right-wing "free speech" means you must listen to vile bigots.

I suspect he knows this is a horrible idea that will drive more people from the site. It's a desperation move: engagement with paid "verified" accounts is dismal, he's hoping unblockable promoted replies will convince more trolls, spammers, and propagandists to stick with it.

The doxing and threats against the Georgia grand jurors is arguably an even worse travesty than the sickening harassment of low-level election workers (though both are unacceptable and frightening).

The jurors weren't there by choice and had no idea what cases they would be evaluating. They were simply ordinary citizens, selected at random, who answered a summons to serve a routine, but critical, civic duty.

Trump oversaw one of the worst recessions in our history and Biden’s been in office for one of the most robust recoveries. Yet Gallup’s issue polling had Trump’s approval on the #economy consistently 10-15 pts higher than Biden’s.

Those saying it’s the cost of living and not the #media coverage driving these numbers have to explain that gap btw perception and reality.
