The podcast world just lost a legend, one of the two best podcasters in the universe:
John C. Dvorak (@THErealDVORAK) has passed away.
Please pray for his family, @AdamCurry (practically family), and closest friends.
@ErinDusty@thisisfoster Why would he address a straw man? He makes it clear in the first paragraphs that -- de facto -- male porn obsession is a known and harmful artifact and much discussed at that. He's bringing up a lesser discussed subject in his post.
@OpoeWedersmeer@kevinnbass What do you believe will happen? He's the most criticized POTUS since Dubya. No one is jailed for speaking, as they are in Europe, if you recall the origin of this conversation.
@OpoeWedersmeer@kevinnbass Your TDS-sublimated takes aside, no other POTUS has been as open and communicative, ever. It's understandable you don't like what he's saying, that's fair. But to claim (as you have in this thread) that he's restrictive of free speech, like the Euros you applaud, is farcical.
@OpoeWedersmeer@kevinnbass With respect, I question your observations. He has been the most open -- and answering -- POTUS in the modern era. Hours-long press conferences, open cabinet meetings, constantly kibbitzing w/ reporters. He fires back at criticism, so? He communicates like none before him.
@OpoeWedersmeer@kevinnbass No disrespect, but this is magical realism to rival Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Pretty much 100% of the global media is engaged in 24-7 criticism of the Trump Admninistration. It is their raison d'etre. How could you believe any of that speech is being restricted? Baffling.
@OpoeWedersmeer@kevinnbass On the contrary, I'm well aware of the history of totalitarianism, especially in the last century. The first steps down the path begin with speech restrictions. Why make this mistake again, when it inevitably leads to tyranny?
