Fundamentally misunderstanding what, "free speech" means. Why am I not surprised.

Someone needs to develop an app where you get automatic, fully supportive responses to whatever you "post". No connection to other users, just an AI bot telling you that you are right, a savior of all we hold dear and should run for office.

I once knew a person who smoked crack.

I asked him what it was like after he smoked crack.

He replied that all you thought about was smoking some more crack.

Maybe the crack is helpful? At least crack addict Hunter Biden could pass the bar exam. Unlike some people.

"I guess Elie really, really wants that crack."

Wait until you've read some of the stuff this guy says. I'd like to think he's in an orbit all his own (well beyond Pluto), but he's not.

Mystal has a really charming way of illustrating his points with incidents from his daily life. Of course, that's exactly what twitter is like!

What would it say about you; if you couldn't live without twitter?

I have no idea wtf that fella’s going on about- except maybe to many people are hooked on the sounds of their own thoughts.
Other than that- nothing. I got nothing.

Very strange analogy. And William? Amazing Freudian slip, there.

According to Felix Salmon on the latest “Slate Money” podcast, Elon has begun associating with people on the “far, far right” like . . . Tim Pool (?!).

Ban this motherfucker for making light of addiction. This is no laughing matter. What an asshole. I can't believe Twitter still allows this hateful garbage.

It is ironic that Twitter is popular with the college-credentialed, especially if left-leaning, given that almost every interaction on Twitter reveals the lack of education in the tweeter.

"Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence."
Robert Frost

"It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought without accepting it" - Aristotle

It is not a crack house, it's a crack home.

Was listening to a radio program this morning about the 1990s in Russia

One thing that hit me: The people supporting social media censorship are essentially to the left of, and more delusional than, Gorbachev. It's rather telling that this especially shows up in the supposedly "college educated" crowd, who should have at least heard of Glasnost

Gorbachev created Glasnost, "Openness", because he understood that censorship and secrecy were mainly used to hide the failures of the Soviet Government, and the result was that nothing could ever get better.

Musk is trying to bring Glasnost to Twitter, and the "Progressive" hardliners are behaving now just like the Soviet Communist hardliners were behaving then

I guess some things never change

Yes, Twitter is a crackhouse. Or better put, a shithole. Much like San Francisco. And many of the same mentality of people made it so. Perhaps, just as some are striving to clean up San Francisco by getting new leadership at both the City and State level, Twitter can get cleaned up as well. Removing the crackheads and bad leadership and allowing normal, civil discourse to take place would be a start.

Just kidding. Hah! That'll never happen.

Or will it....?
By the way, Elie Mystal having a blue check is a large illustration of a systemic problem. Really, what's the point of a 'blue check' if any hate spewing, crazy, ranting nutcase can be so credentialed? What's the standard? Do crackhouses have standards? I think we have our answer. I'm hoping the 'blue checkmark' is among the first things to get removed. It's a false label of credibility. A badge asserting expertise or high-mindedness where there often is clearly none to see.

Now change it to an Oxy crash pad in rural West Virginia so we can blame drug abuse on the CCP and Hunter Biden instead of Black Culture.

I don't get it either.

If the effect of smoking crack is to want to smoke more crack, then Twitter seems to work the same way. I'm glad I never did either, or both.

Crazy days. Idiots unaccustomed to be challenged. Carry on as “normal.” Think I might eat some pancakes.

With each passing day, the left continues to prove just how right we were all along.

They're simply a bunch of thugs who can't cope with anything outside of their protective bubble.

The "crack house" statement is one of the stupidest things I've heard in recent weeks.

Or me, neither.
They’re so open- minded their brains may fall out!

Crack smells like burning diet coke cans. I could tell if someone I was home visiting was smoking crack by the distinctive smell of using the cans as pipes. Why waste valuable crack dollars on pipes?

Or, that they were acting like they were smoking crack. That smell though. The only thing worse is the sweat of someone on meth. Why always diet coke cans? I don't know. But I couldn't help thinking that inhaling burning diet coke residue had to make it that much more toxic. A relatively small problem, I suppose, but you have to build repoire with "clients." I've discussed this with more than one crack addict and the answer is they drink diet coke.

People on meth seemed to prefer sugary soda. Dr. Pepper inexplicably popular. God that smell is especially awful. Smells like rotting bodies. Zombies probably smell like that. Maybe unfair to zombies.

Well, there's the next trend. I predict the trans movement will be overshadowed by half or whole dead addicts demanding special accommodations.
