He has one, tweaking Trump supporters on TNCR. Life is finite. I doubt Jon gets his number of internet posts chiseled on his tombstone. I'll etch it on his back when he's gone.

Fascinating. I intend to bring this little story up at our department meeting. I use a bag mostly because I’ve experienced a fat appendix not in a bag sort of come apart and open on retrieval. But that’s not the point. The bag issue is a just an example. This is about data and how we collect and understand it. Knowing that the variables are sometimes too messy to quantify accurately. Especially true in surgery as opposed to drug testing. Or vaccine testing hopefully.

@89th said in Social media implosion: So much would be solved if we moved away from the instant-information sharing paradigm...both news media and social media. So much. Oh Lordie, yes. Too much racket, too much clutter, too much muchness.

They likelydon’t want him going after Biden.

Fucking coonasses I understand.

https://justthenews.com/nation/technology/tom-fitton-suspended-twitter-over-something-twitter-previously-said-did-not Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton has been suspended from Twitter over a tweet containing language that he has repeatedly posted in the past, including months ago when the social media platform determined that the language was not a breach of its rules. Twitter said in September that it received a complaint regarding a tweet posted on Fitton's account that said, "#Hydroxychloroqine is a safe drug," but the social media platform said that it did not find that the post had violated any rules: "We have investigated the reported content and could not identify any violations of the Twitter Rules (https://support.twitter.com/articles/18311) or German law. Accordingly, we have not taken any action at this time," Twitter said. But now Twitter has suspended Fitton for tweeting the same message that it previously said did not violate its rules, a message which Fitton has posted repeatedly on the platform. Fitton says that even if he deletes the tweet he would remain locked out of his account for seven days. During a phone call with Just the News, he described it as "disturbing" that a government watchdog organization's leader "would be targeted for abusive censorship like this." Just the News attempted to reach out to Twitter for comment but has not yet received a response. "Without any warning I have been suspended for at least 7 days from Twitter for posting a straight-forward tweet about #Hydroxychloroquine," Fitton wrote in a Monday Instagram post. "I had posted this exact tweet repeatedly (once or twice a week) and, in September, Twitter specifically found that it was not in violation of its rules. Nevertheless, they locked me out my account without warning and told me that even if I took down now the supposedly offending post I would still be locked out for 7 days. I have 'appealed' but we all know that this is not about HCQ, it is about finding a pretext to silence another leading conservative voice," Fitton wrote.

What an absolute crock of shit.

Who else is amazed that Ron Paul isn't still on MySpace?

@lufins-dad said in Reported to FBI: It was a mostly peaceful tour of Capitol Hill. It was! Literally it was. I think the majority of attendees didn't engage in illegal activity. Like BLM, there's the question of how much that matters.

The words and the spirit/sentiment behind them are quite fine.

@doctor-phibes the spice must flow!

It might be premature to call Roethlisberger completely washed up, but it's clear that he's no longer an asset for the Steelers. Pfft, that is so dumb. He's still one of the best QB's in the game, and one of the biggest assets to the Steelers. I know he's on the edge of retiring, and would be fine if he did this year as it would align well with my conversion to Viking Land. Tough game last night, was nice to see their valiant effort at a comeback after being down 28-0 in the 1st quarter.

@loki said in Hate Speech: Reality is that many people have had this as their company’s corporate policy for at least 15 years. But this isn't a company.

That’s awesome. Did they film some of Star Wars using a razor? (Maybe that’s Star Trek, can’t remember). I don’t see spaceships, but I see faces EVERYWHERE. (There’s a name for that, but can’t recall it)

@catseye3 a bit.

@xenon heard that podcast too. Yes the November elections proved this is not a popular concept for voters.
