    I will embrace it like a loving lover embraces their lover. And enjoy the fact that my ignorant vote counts just as much as yours.

    Eh. I'm pretty sure I know where you live. My vote counts a lot more than yours.

    In polite conversation, if you make an assertion you should provide supporting evidence when asked about it.

    Take it to PMs and have a nice black helicopters circling overhead day.

    Let’s not forget that Fox News, of all outlets, declined to report on the Hunter laptop at first. And the N.Y. Post, which did put out the report, had a lot of reservations beforehand and the journalist who had her byline on the story was surprised that she was credited.

    Fact is, the Trumpists tried for an October Surprise, and it backfired because 1. They waited too late to put out the story and thought the MSM would just stenograph their talking points and for once, the MSM used their professional judgment; 2. They’ve verifiably lied, er, alternate facted, so often that nobody believes a word they say; 3. Verification of facts takes time to investigate and any second-guessing ignores this factor and 4. It had nothing to do with a member of the Biden political team.

    Twitter down at the moment. Absolutely nothing on my feed or my job feed.

    And again: They laundered the laptop through Bannon and Rudy. That's really a terrible approach if you want something to be considered "credible."

    One can hope, but no, it's fixed now.

    It's not so much a free speech issue as a matter of who is and isn't responsible for the actions of people who use a platform that enables a type of "speech."

    Should a car company be responsible for someone who buys a car from them and drives drunk while using it? To me, this is the same thing. Do we want to take liability to such a gross, and authoritarian extreme, where we hold people responsible for others' behavior, and in the process chill innovation and development of new technologies (that can be used for bad. ... AND enormous good that makes people's lives better)?

    I think what France is doing with Pavel Durov is really unjust. Go after a child pornographer or whoever actually does something else that violates the law. The world is filled with tools that people can use in any number of ways, but we should all be individually responsible for our own actions. The tools themselves should just be treated as tools. They are agnostic.
