Another big difference is that you're actrually funny, and you just know that some percentage of those 220 Tweets by him were him trying to be, which going by past performance makes me cringe just thinking about it.

As I have more than once, I really appreciated Richard Branson stepping up and addressing it.

The real reason for 100% onsite is absolutely to give middle managers a reason to justify their jobs, standing over people, so they have to pretend that bodies in chairs = productivity. Which is dead wrong. David Graeber wrote a whole book about it:

Yep. I remember when Marissa Mayer went to Yahoo and cancelled all remote, & I read that the real inside scoop was they discovered people working remote for years doing nothing, and I thought good lord how is that not a *management* problem? You don't know if people are accomplishing anything?

For years I've heard that he stirs up fanatics partly because he's funny and knows how to work a crowd but every time I hear him he speaks in the dullest, low-energy recitation off of a teleprompter that I've ever heard. I'd call it sing-song, except it's almost monotone.

Also kind of hilarious that Chatterton Williams thinks that saying "I'll have you know that Christopher Rufo's followers were fairly sympathetic and in agreement with my views!" shows how neutral and reasonable he is.

Also admits what a lot of us have been saying from the start, he didn't buy Twitter to make money. He saw that it had influence, one of the only places outside of the right-wing corporate filter. and he wanted to hijack that for the right. His own share was only 4 billion, totally worth it.

Joe Rogan is a Donald Trump cheerleader who pretended that he was neutral, though why anyone bought that is a mystery.
His popularity should sink as Trump's plummets lower and lower.

Yes, echoing the famous words of Mitch McConnell when they were in the minority. “Look, there’s not much we can do! If they nominate someone as centrist as Merrick Garland for SCOTUS, we’ll give him a hearing and he’ll likely get confirmed. Our power is limited!”

And in another way all of a piece, since Obama chose Garland as a compromise, someone so unthreatening to Republicans that they couldn't possibly reject him. And they refused even a hearing.
It's all Democrats holding out the hand of compromise and getting it bitten off by Republicans.

I've seen it attributed to Chaucer a couple hundred years earlier, same idea anyway but slightly different.

He's also one in long line who seem to exist primarily to call themselves liberal, parrot Sean Hannity, and then FOX points and says "See? Even this "big liberal" agrees with us that "it's all so woke out there" or whatever.
Camille Paglia being praised by Limbaugh was the prototype.
