@peterwsinger "…and as for the men in power, they are so anxious to establish the myth of their infallibility that they do their utmost to ignore the truth. Politics doesn't appeal to me. I don't like people who don't care about the truth."

Retweet if you'd like to learn what @elonmusk's plans are for data sharing with researchers and whether he plans to continue the platform's long history of productive engagement with researchers in and outside academia.
@MMBrussell@paulkrugman I’m with you, Mae. As long as the scheming narcissists and the violent sadists connive and thirst to dominate and bully, we must fend them off with the optimism of worthy ideals and empowering acts—hope fueled action, no despairing compliance. Let’s roll!

Looks like Twitter may soon turn into a full-on fascist cesspool without countervailing qualities. Although it's unclear what alternatives may emerge — if any — hope springs eternal👇

@rothforIdaho Crap' says, "unsustainable." But, why say that? Crap' shows his bad faith motives. What terrible consequences does he claim? It's all about unsubstantiated contrivances. Crap' also claims Trump won the 2020 election. So that's a real credibility signal to consider.
@jayrosen_nyu Both-sides-ism overindulges our false dichotomies. This reinforces biases when we need nuance most. Can CNN evolve into a 4th estate institution of merit? Or just serve as a propaganda tool for postmodern facism So far, they're exhibiting very discouraging behaviors and actions.
@MarkMeuser Maybe the rate of submission is slower 🤷♂️🤷🏾♀️ because this ballot has more issues that require far more thoughtfulness and effort before completing the voting process. I just finished and submitted mine today.

VOTER SUPPRESSION > Jennifer Jones, a Morehouse School of Medicine student, went to vote, excited to cast her ballot for Stacey Abrams & Raphael Warnock. But she was informed she couldn't cast a regular ballot because right-wing folks were challenging her

@JoJoFromJerz The followers follow der Führer. The followers then abdicate critical thought to ascendent, cynical, and sycophantic lieutenants who then pretend lies are truth as fealty to der Führer in exchange for a piece of the action. It's a tried and true system.
@masspirates Ranked choice voting is the Obi Wan Kenobi of voting systems, as in: "Help [us] Obi Wan Kenobi! You're [our] only hope."
FWIW — in my narrative — MTG is Darth Vader. Trump is Palpatine.

@andrewsweiss Laughable: Lest they forget, any recollections of the disastrous Russo Japanese war? Or, more recent times in Afghanistan?
Here's a happy celebratory tune to commemorate the happy and unbeatable Russo war machine: https://t.co/bpVzfaY6UE
