“GOP politicians in the wake of a school shooting may be the only group more cowardly than the cops who refuse to put themselves in harm’s way to save children. The two most recent examples are Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson and Texas’ Ted Cruz, both of whom fled questions posed to them about gun control and why gun massacres like Uvalde only seem to happen in the United States.
Jimmy and his panel of The Dive’s Jackson Hinkle and American comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the rank cowardice on display from the likes of Johnson and Cruz.”

“Bret speaks with Jim Rutt about Elon Musk’s move to takeover Twitter and free speech on social media.
Jim is an American businessman and entrepreneur, the former CEO of Network Solutions, and the former chairman of the Santa Fe Institute.”
The question of fixing twitter, at least as relates to its historical and current problems, comes down to removing the people who are inhibiting speech [presumably, the whole reason the platform exists in the first place].
If users are not violating any laws, then they should be left alone…Period…End of discussion…
…Problem is…twitter administration takes it upon itself, to employ extra punitive and abnormal standards, towards users they are prejudiced against. The rules and policies they come up with and use for “justification”, make no logical sense in the first place…There is no actual reason for those rules, terms and policies to even exist, let alone be used against someone.
The atmosphere at twitter gives these people free license, to abuse the user base however they please.
…And that’s exactly what’s been happening for years.
You want to fix twitter?…Then remove this malignant cancer.
As to the user base…employ a consistent set of rules, and enforce them equally across the board.
It’s bullshit that my own twitter account has been locked down for three plus years, and they’ve blocked my IP…yet there are people who were habitually committing gross violations of the TOS [many of whom I was pushing back against] when I got sucker punched by twitter…those people are themselves still openly on twitter.
It’s complete bullshit, when the person in the right, on the straight and narrow, is the one that gets all the actual penalty and punishment dumped onto them…meanwhile, the many people who were literally causing the problems are allowed to run wild on the platform til this day.
Twitter is bankrupt of integrity.
It’s been turned into a “Good ol Boys” club, for the super ultra “woke”.
Why cant people just be there, discuss social and personal issues, and be left alone?
The platform was actually really good, when it used to do that…Now they just set around, dreaming up shitty excuses to kick people out.
“Elon Musk has told his Tesla employees that they need to work in the office or find another job. The days of “working from home” are over. Will Musk make the same demands of Twitter employees? Probably. And they’re already nervous…”
“In this video, I talk about pastor and televangelist John Hagee’s solution to crime and societal problems: the ten commandments. if we just enshrine the ten commandments into law, we can get rid of the police and the government entirely.”
“When the first compact discs arrived on the Australian market in 1983, they ranged in price from $900-$1800. The price didn’t hold back the rapid adoption of the technology.”
“Bret speaks with Jim Rutt about Elon Musk’s move to takeover Twitter and free speech on social media.
Jim is an American businessman and entrepreneur, the former CEO of Network Solutions, and the former chairman of the Santa Fe Institute.”
The bureaucracy of twitter is already corrupt beyond redemption.
When things are where they are, and these bozos are inventing full on weak BS excuses for banishing people on ideological grounds…things cannot get any worse.
Let a wrecking ball have twitter…What exists in the aftermath wont be perfect either…but it’s bound to be a step up, from the corrupt, hypocritical dumpster fire that twitter is today.
Nobody should be pessimistic about this…It’s not as if we are talking about a healthy, functional platform here.
Twitter desperately needs a radical intervention, that will radically transform it.
Besides…it seems Elon does not want to keep it forever…Just long enough to expunge the abusive assholes, and make it a consistently fair and professional platform.
If it crashes and burns in all of this…Oh well…We’re better off for even that.
Transform twitter, or just let it burn into oblivion.
I don’t know how anyone can defend what twitter is today, nor lack the realization that something radical needs to be done about it.
Oh yes!…The anger, tears and squealing going on right now, are all about the prospect of weak and impotent manipulators, who are about to lose their dirty advantages…It horrifies them, that they might actually have to function on a level playing field with everyone else…
…They cannot hold the upper hand anymore…They cannot function, when anybody else is around to push back.
There’s also the complete BS, that some people have the gall to equate the entirety of twitter with “a safe space”…And they use this as an excuse to banish people.
If they want “a safe space”…go start one…or join up with any number of platforms that already do that…Leave us who’ve already been peacefully using a platform for years [even a decade plus] the fuck alone!
“SoulShine Industries, a business out of Edna, Texas, in southeast Texas, has created caskets for the 19 child victims of the Uvalde school shooting last Tuesday.”
