At the moment there are exactly 3 types of posts: - Fuck fascist ICE - Israel commandeered Greta Thunberg’s aid ship - THE TONYS!!!

Megan McArdle has 104.4k followers on Twitter and is verified. Here are the engagement numbers for the three most recent tweets she added to her timeline:

Dr. Who is a terrifying premise. Don't like the idea of an alien that can go any where any time but still chooses to mostly hang out with the British.

i guess my main question for people with this perspective is if they think something of an ideological bubble is worse than being called a "nigger" whenever you post

At the gay inventors convention saying things like "necessity is mother"

When the people you are protesting against show up, go home. This is how we win.

I think it’s a window into how *little* South Africa shapes Musk’s worldview that he’s essentially going ‘the state? Interfere with business decisions? Couldn’t happen!’

Gamergate was the earliest manifestation of everything is gender and/or race.

a reminder that immigration and climate change are inextricably linked

It's not enough for the sports community on Bluesky to grow. Everyone who doesn't like sports should be kicked off it as well.

Strongly disagree

I can’t imagine better advertising for Bluesky than a mention in a major newspaper that implicitly guarantees you won’t see Megan McArdle on here

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

It’s a completely inauthentic position, from another era, and it doesn’t work with the audience any more. American journalism (tbh journalism everywhere) has a bad habit of confusing norms with values, and it’s costing us.

"Regardless where one attributes blame" lol So much courage

Wow, sounds like the process of making this movie has been quite the-*shepherd's crook appears from stage left, drags me away by my neck*

Can’t look at a fox cub without thinking about Bold in Farthing Wood. God that series was brutal.

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

They’ve given up caring about it right up until the moment NI leaves, in which case they will suddenly care about it again, especially if it happens under Labour

Gender Critical people really are arguing that the time you were sexually assaulted is THE SAME LEVEL OF BAD as when I go to the toilet at work

if even just one of my silly little jokes saves the lives of every single man, woman, child and miscellaneous on earth, it will have all been worthwhile....

shopping for some essentials

I've been thinking about this C.S. Lewis quote for the last few days as we head into some dark times.

camera pans in on living room of TV show where a major character’s adult child died. they pan around the living room to show that the room is messy because the family hasn’t been keeping up with things. it looks like my house normally looks.

“They looked at the paracetamol, period pads and two bags of crispy M&Ms I was buying. They perceived me, and possibly even had a thought about me. I can’t bear it.”

AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.

"you would need a fifth of the military to hold one city" is not an endorsement of the practicality of this as a plan
