I haven’t read the terms for this program, but I will say that under Biden’s FCC, my local rural telco suddenly got very interested in connecting me to fiber, and Comcast just strung lines along the telephone poles by my property.

Moderation is difficult, labor-intensive and always angers some people, but is necessary for a social medium to work. Sounds like they’re trying to delegate a lot of the gruntwork to the users with a complicated feed/filtering system, and I wish them luck in that. Not a lot of folks want to carefully tune their feed…

Neither is TruthSocial, Gab or 4Chan. Just another grifter-infested incel stewpot.

Journalists and media folks loved Old Twitter to the point of addiction so they’ll seize on any possibility of a replacement. And honestly, I can’t blame them.

It’d be better if he was actually a free-speech absolutist. Instead, Twitter bans Democratic campaign ads and censors links to SubStack and Mastodon.

Very glad to see more collaboration and diversity here, but I’m rather concerned that the premier launch partners here are both owned by James Bond villains.

I was just thinking that, but Liquid Piston is chasing DoD money, so I don’t know how interested they would be in being acquired by a small Japanese auto company with no Pentagon juice.

Politicians and bureaucrats know all about how to do malicious compliance.  “You said you wanted a bike lane?  OK, here, now shut up.”

However, in our patriotic, democracy-loving corner, there are also millions of armed loyal Americans, in addition to 1.4M active service military personnel and about 0.5M National Guard and all that fun military hardware.

OK, but can we have Charlize Theron as [flashback] Jenny Sparks?

I was just thinking about the Creepiness Rule the other day. This definitely tests it.

Maurizio Cattelan did it better.

And no need to tell former Interior Secretary James Watt to FOAD because like Pat the Pharisee, he just did!

That Datsun 510 is a really good deal. Even 4-door models have shockingly high prices.

I appreciate the Volvo wagon. The only passenger car that can haul a whole entire concert harp.

Sorry to say, it wouldn’t help. As I understand it, there’s gangs of middlemen who drive around to tweeker camps and pay cash for cats, and then ship them in large lots to crooked recyclers.

Less “infiltrated” and more “operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary.”

Thank you for this, Rob. It’s a shame the final vote can’t reflect that this may be the most gloriously polarizing NP/ND we shall ever see.

If only Tony Bourdain had got to meet him in person...

I dunno, what was the point of your comment?
