Also, when I claimed to have dated Alan Rickman for fourteen years, I meant to say only that I saw the back of his head in an airport.

I regret not having phrased my statements more clearly.

Like, no: Weiss in no sense “values transparency,” as anyone with a casual acquaintance with her obfuscation-ridden work can detect. Come the f–– on. twitter.com/rottenindenmark/st

Here's something obvious that's maybe worth saying: there is nothing Garland or the J6 committee could do -- I mean nothing -- that would render investigations of Donald Trump legitimate in the eyes of conservatives.

Nothing.

Check out this genius who needs the simplest of concepts explained to him by a guy who has literally dozens of videos devoted to complaining about Brie Larson.

Such a deeply creepy worldview.

RT @RonFilipkowski@twitter.com

Owner of Centner Academy at Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA, on public schools: “Do not send your kids to these indoctrination camps. They are brainwashing them to be weak. And the more sexualized they get into children, the weaker that they become adults.”

More whining from a powerful media guy --- Chris Licht of CNN:

“The uninformed vitriol, especially from the left, has been stunning,” “Which proves my point: so much of what passes for news is name-calling, half-truths and desperation.”

The right is busy elsewhere at the moment. But wait until he meets the Nazis.

I hope everyone is prepared for the fact that this place will soon be overrun with assholes once they figure out it's where people are going. It always happens and it will be a very serious challenge for the moderators. Gird yourself.

@drvolts

This is just crazy. people have been crossposting on various platforms since the very beginning. Do they think anything through ever?

Musk owns Twitter and can run it as his own person right-wing fiefdom, but attempts to falsely equate his rule with the previous ownership mock the serious threat he poses by turning Twitter into a right-wing tool, that too many still think of as an open forum of ideas and dialogue.

It was clear from the jump Musk didn’t understand the site he’d bought, but I’m still a bit surprised he doesn’t grasp that journalists are the main reason Twitter was more relevant than any number of other similar platforms. Can easily imagine looking back on this as a tipping point.

Pretty hard to keep rejecting the fascist label when you start banning the journalists who report on you, just real obvious shit over there

I know I haven't been too active over here yet, but my guy Tom Sullivan says this is the best hang of all the platforms. So, I'll give it a serious whirl in the new year for sure.

Meanwhile, there's this for any of my old followers...

In these rapidly changing times online, there's something to be said for good old-fashioned blogging.

Happy Hollandaise everyone! It's been 20 years! Can you believe it?

I say this not in the spirit of "I told you so" (though I did) but the people whose job it is to inform you - the most highly paid of them especially - preserved the legend of Elon Musk genius rocket man and good guy despite a long history of racism, fraud, and criminal abuse
