I’m sad to see this platform be driven into oblivion, but I’m done playing any part in its survival given what is happening. I hope @elonmusk and his #MAGA buddies have enough to talk about by themselves.
@donwinslow At the same time, I’m uninterested in supporting @elonmusk’s actions that allow this place to devolve into an echo chamber full of right wing conspiracists. The allowance of bigots and liars to have a voice here (e.g. Ye, Trump, Project Veritas) makes it a worse place for all.
@funcshawnal @donie@GergelyOrosz No severance package for staying! Just joy at sweating it out with the rest of the hard core Twitter 2.0 crowd while you try to recreate what the hell all the people who took severance were working on before they left.
@kairyssdal This sentence struck me: “FTX had $16 billion in customer assets” of which they apparently LENT $10B to another entity?! FTX didn’t HAVE anything; CUSTOMERS had $16 billion in assets held at FTX. Outrageous if accurate.
I never understood why anyone cares about the #bluecheck anyway. Why in the world would anyone pay for it? In fact, if you’re paying to have it, doesn’t that dilute your message, since you just become an advertiser?
@NorCalNickW4C CALIFORNIA > Berkeley. This change would be a net loss, much like our athletic teams suffer under any banner. This feels like a GOT moment. Seize our history and mantle as THE University of California, the flagship. I’m sick of the “U C Berkeley” ad anyway (since creation).
#Florida is trying to eliminate the marketplace of ideas that defines universities in the US by arguing in defense of its anti-WOKE act that it can CONTROL all educational speech in public institutions as government speech. @GOP hates #FreeSpeech: https://t.co/Mn4k2h3AEN
There’s nothing progressive about advocating for the end of Israel as a Jewish State.
Nothing progressive about opposing the Abraham Accords, which promotes peace.
Nothing progressive about opposing Iron Dome, which protects civilians from indiscriminate rocket fire.
@mmasnick This absurd opinion flatly ignores that silence or the “refus[al] to foster” speech is protected speech (430 US 705, 715), and that this improperly seeks to coerce speech by private persons. Further, this treads heavily on the 1st Am freedom of association (357 US 449, 460-63).
.@GovRonDeSantis traffics #undocumented from FL to MA and the media treats it like this is an #immigration issue? These are people, not pawns. I guess release #gun convicts to FL and TX, since they can "care for" them better and allow them to use their guns freely?
@RonFilipkowski So, if I’m following, be happy with Senator Warnock, because it’s when you switch things up that it all goes bad. Or is it an endorsement of misogyny?
