Loury talked to him recently. I don't know much about what West thinks. I admit to assuming he's a faux-intellectual charlatan race baiter. That might be unkind of me.

@Jon said in 81 Million Votes: One man’s fragile ego + tens of millions of credulous imbeciles = material damage to the body politic. Sure, you could make that argument reasonably. Just like you could make a reasonable argument about all the false and socially destructive leftist narratives, and how they are damaging our institutions and our body politic. Most recently in the form of supreme court votes, based on disingenuous, verifiably false anecdotes, in support of unconstitutional justice narratives.

@Jon said in Riley posted this on FB: What’s your over/under on when Aqua does this to someone? Mine’s 3 months. Funny, I just assumed it was he who did it to me.

Unclear on the concept of armed robbery.

Love it.

@Axtremus said in 70 million as of this morning: News reports I glanced at mostly characterize Thread as a Twitter clone. @Aqua-Letifer seems to think Thread is a lot more. I haven't look much into Thread myself. Any helpful article you can point me to that can educate me on how or why Thread can be so much more than a Twitter wannabe? Thanks. The article that gave me the most comprehensive breakdown was "Maybe Download the Freaking Thing to See for Yourself."
