Hey if you're here because Twitter/X is down, just stay here. Delete the Twitter app from your phone - like genuinely tab out and do it right now - lock your account when the site's back up, and stop posting there already.

@npub1utg…efkq great point and I feel like SSC in particular has been really underrated as a vector for radicalization on those issues for otherwise apolitical people in the sciences and engineering

@npub1utg…efkq this isn't exactly a new strain in libertarian thought. easy to trace it back to Ron Paul's newsletters endorsing Turner Diaries nazi stuff and Barry Goldwater opposing desegregation

As a complete lib and snowflake, let me tell conservatives that if they all decided to boycott Fox News in protest, I would be completely triggered and require a safe space. Anything but that, nooooo

Democrats would be smart to run on this instead of on inscrutable "enhanced background checks and waiting periods" or whatever. "we will ban the AR-15" is a winning message.

I wouldn't bet against Bluesky becoming Twitter 2.0 despite the fact it seems kind of useless and weirdly designed. Actual Twitter was like this too and its culture of benign neglect is what allowed it to develop into a useful platform.

The reason they think it was okay to kill Garrett Foster is the same reason they thought it was okay to kill James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner in 1964.

Good start but they'd do better if they also prohibited their reporters from posting on the site and made it clear that they won't be returning while Musk still owns the site, even if the designation is rescinded!

#[0] no one actually believes this, its just the schoolyard bully technique of seeing an advantage of trying to hold others to their stated commitments when you have none yourself

It's funny/telling that you hear about the cratering market for office real estate exclusively as an economic problem to be solved rather than a way firms are lowering costs and helping to offset inflationary pressures!
