Elon Musk's Twitter shut down the DC Metro Bus Twitter account today with no explanation.

Must be concerned about handing out so many "assassination coordinates" I guess.

Twitter temporarily bans account for D.C.-area bus system without explanation

The social media app suspended the @metrobusinfo account on Tuesday for about six hours and gave Metro transit officials no explanation why.

The parent company of Parler laid off 75% of its staff.

Viruses mutate the more they spread. #COVID19 didn't just mutate--we invited it to mutate into dangerous new forms. All the maskless crowds invite spread and mutation. When the CDC refuses to advise people to mask, it invites spread and mutation.

We created them, and we're creating tomorrow's right now.
