If all of this comes to pass on Twitter, we can mark last month as the day it died. Where once it was king, it will be no longer. If it becomes even more of a toxic cesspool than it already is (“like 4chan, but with shorter messages” is not a great sales pitch for anything) then something will come along to kill it.

This is what happens when Democrats don’t have a message or a serious agenda to rally behind. They sat on their hands for decades and could never explain to people that Republicans are using the government to take your rights and freedoms away.

Fuck anyone who said “Hillary and Trump are the same” in 2016. Fucking nightmare.

Conservatives: “Government has no business meddling in the affairs of private businesses.”

““It hasn’t been great on returns on investment,” DeSantis said. “It’s been pretty stagnant for many many years.””

Uh...then aren’t the people running your pension fund breaching their fiduciary duties to their participants?

Responding to COVID was, comparatively, exceptionally easy. But we can’t even get that right. Each failed climate-change summit is just a further…

This is Florida. It’s pretty much illegal for a business to require proof of vaccination and the pandemic has basically been over since June 2020, as far as laws are concerned.

I wouldn’t go to the Enterprise or Cato institutes for advice on where to eat for lunch, nevermind business or societal trends.

I’d like to sue TikTok for the shit that does make it past the mods.

That sure is a lot of hypothetical there bud. Would you like to come join the reality of “shit that is actually happening”?

The absolute best thing Metabook can do to increase adoption would be to get someone else, anyone else, to be the public face of the company.

Even if you filter diligently, FB will randomly inject unwanted things into your timeline/news feed.

“...It’s important to remember that Facebook isn’t just destroying American democracy...”
