Disappointing to see people I respect "take the party" from Twitter to another centralized, for-profit service funded by a right-winger. The power of FOMO is profound.

We are led by cowards whose priority is not to offend the loudest, dumbest segment of society. Sorry, but I'm fed up watching the tragedy in our children's hospitals continue to unfold.
