I agree. On the old site, if someone trolled me I trolled them back, my goal being to get them to block me instead of vice versa. Sometimes it worked, but quite often it just gave the trolls oxygen.
Here my policy will be to cut the trolls' oxygen supply. Let them rant into the void.

In some languages the letter 'X' is used to represent the sound /sh/...
That's why I refer to the old site as "Xitter".

Unfortunately it is.

If someones emotions guide them to trust trump and distrust Kamala Harris, then that person is emotionally stunted.
I'm old enough to recall that when trump stumbled into power in 2016 a common expression from MAGAs was "Fuck your feelings". How does that not work both ways?

It's not rocket science, JB. No one who actually believes that trump is a great leader has sufficient judgement or intelligence to be taken seriously. It's as simple as that.

Anyone who thinks that trump is a great leader is not a serious person. Dangerous, maybe, but not serious.

The opening theme is one of the few on television that actually makes my blood pressure go down instead of up.

It's perfect because in some languages (e.g. Maya languages) 'X' is pronounced '/sh/' if it starts a word. I doubt Leon ever thought that through.

It's what we all thought Twitter was before Leon bought it and turned it from a river of ideas into an open sewer.

Bummer. The proper decontamination procedure requires about 10 steps and I hear it's a real hassle.

Try re-reading again, this time for understanding.

Yeah. Like maybe a couple hundred of them.

This reminds of what a friend in England told us... The day after the infamous Brexit vote, the #1 Google search question out of the UK was "What is Brexit?"

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" is a buzzword coined by some right-wing think tank to give MAGA acolytes an excuse not to think about why anybody might be opposed to trump. Anybody not stupid enough to join their cult is defined as mentally ill. Any Democrat using the term needs to go away.

Exactly. How are you even supposed to appeal to a subculture whose only political motivation is a sado-machostic desire for chaos and suffering?

The bitter irony is that the price of eggs, and everything else, will now pribably skyrocket, and it'll be radio silence on that topic from the right.

For the record. I'm not moderating one single position to accomodate MAGA, and neither should any progressive, liberal, or Democrat. All I you do when you do that is tell them where to move the goalpost next.
Give them nothing.
Nothing.

I'm hanging on to my Twitter account for now, because I want to have a platform to troll people who voted to release the hungry leopards when they start whining about how they're being chased by hungry leopards.

The last time I had a whole afternoon to myself in LA I spent it stuck in traffic on I-405.

If it was given to you, there had to be a reason, and therefore it's yours.

What's wrong with a song coming to you in a dream? How else are songs supposed to come to you?
I've solved difficult coding problems in my dreams. Should I have given someone else the credit?

Was he supposed to let the government shut down? Do you have any idea of how many good people that hurts?
