@PMynmnobody @MarshaBlackburn "My body my choice" falls under the "pursuit of happiness" much more for abortion, which allows women to pursue happiness as they wish without being saddled w/a child they never wanted, than vaccination, which only affects your happiness if you believe wild conspiracy theories.

I'm not saying "RIP Twitter" because Elon is going to turn it into Parler/Truth Social, or because he's going to promote "free speech", I'm saying it because I have every expectation he won't know what he's doing and what he does try to do will end up ruining this place somehow.

A barge carrying toxic methanol is sinking in the Ohio River and right-wing conspiracymongers are wondering if it's the government deliberately trying to kill us, instead of the more likely answer of deregulated corporations cutting corners thanks to the party they support.

@_cingraham @bubbaprog Maybe I'm too cynical, but a rule of thumb is that the more words like "balanced", "objective", and "nonpartisan" you use to describe your journalism venture, the more likely it is to be a cover to present right-wing propaganda as all of those things.

@ShadowTodd Because boomers became too dominant in American culture and would never admit that the songs of their middle age are "oldies". More charitably, the popular songs of the 80s and 90s sound a lot less like the popular songs of the 50s than the popular songs of the 70s do.
