The default setting is “Receiving Off”. 

This smacks of gatekeeping. 🙄

change your air drop setting to contacts only and im pretty sure it wont ever happen again, its pretty simple.

I use Twitter as an outlet for arguing with idiot Republicans, but I would never go after someone because some of their relatives were wearing Blue Lives Matter or MAGA gear in the background of a couple of their photos. Unless she herself actually was expressing bigoted opinions or sharing misinformation, no reason…

Yeah I’m not one to side with conservatives, and I think them trying to turn this into an even bigger thing is ridiculous, but we can’t pin this one on them. Leftist twitter behaved basically in exactly the way that people constantly accuse leftists of behaving and turned this into a thing when it didn’t need to be…

—conservatives are tripping over themselves to claim Sweeney as their own—

Yeah, I raised eyebrows at that one as well. He has a history of dating women he’s worked with, but I don’t see anything predatory. 

54 percent of white voters voted for Trump in 2016, 57 percent in 2021. If all liberal white people shunned racist family, they would hardly be able to have any family relations. Statistically, nearly all the people who have a problem with Sweeney have sat through a family function with racist people. They have at…

That “pretty extensive history” of Pitt dating underage girls consists of exactly one, Juliette Lewis, who was 17 and emancipated, and the relationship lasted for several years. That comment is really misleading.

Strange thought, I know, but maybe Emily Ratajkowski isn’t a feminist idol in the making and is just playing lip service to stuff?

I was gonna say, she was already the equivalent of middle-handle froyo on a show that was cable’s equivalent of vanilla froyo.

Well, yeah, she’s not expected to have a deep run because she’s 40, which is like 62 in tennis years where 32 is getting ready to be put out to pasture. Her longevity of success is literally unprecedented aside from Federer also still hanging around at 41. We haven’t seen tennis players have noticeable success at this…

Absolutely love her. Her serves, returns and volleys remains untouchable. But. The younger players have figured out that she is less agile, less able to play through injury. All understandable given the historic run she achieved through sheer discipline. Younger players who are able to force Serena to move around…

It’s possible to have empathy for her in this situation (being verbally abused online by trolls), but absolutely no sympathy for the situation as a whole (getting hoodwinked and voluntarily doubling-down on generalized stupidity by stealing from your employer).

It’s easy to convince yourself of things that aren’t true…

The rivers are better than they used to be. I wouldn’t eat any fish out of it or get the water in my mouth but if you don’t mind smelling like a wet dog.... go for it. But yeah, the Anacostia river is a no no.

I’m sure she knows that. This particular author has a gift for saying things that are blatantly wrong, ignorant, misinformed or stupid in such a way that they practically beg for a storm of comments to correct them. She has a genuine talent for it.

In actuality the DC suburbs are MORE non-white than (increasingly) the city itself Long-time Washingtonians (of which I include myself even though I mostly grew up in/still live in Maryland) bemoan the “new DC” as “mocha-latte city”(a play on the long nicke-named “Chocolate City”) & “Little Manhattan”(because the…

I don’t know if that makes me want to go to the Bahamas less or more.
