Yesterday’s Big Tech Twitter hearings were a bust for the GOP, but that didn’t stop them from acting like dangerous jackasses. Nor did it stop Democrats from making some important points and introducing into the record the best thing ever. My piece is out and walks us through the sound and the fury. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/the-tweet-smell-offailure?sd=pf

✨ Happy New Year 2023!
I wish you with this illustration strength and courage against all the "dragons" who might be on your way in 2023. Can you see the numbers in the silhouettes?

I’m not antisocial, I just can’t stand being around other people.

@scotsoma we've made it too dangerous for kids to play in the streets, too dangerous for people to cycle, apparently now also too dangerous for pedestrians to not be dressed in high viz at all times? Kids, pedestrians, and cyclists are not causing the problem here.

NEW: The Mississippi House's white Republican supermajority passed a bill removing power from Jackson's majority-Black elected judges and giving it to judges and prosecutors appointed by an all-white cast of state officials to oversee the capitol district.

Jackson's mayor called the legislation "plantation politics" and compared it to "apartheid."

So basically you have to pay #Twitter to get noticed or even post these days

Now we can see exactly how billionaires try to squeeze every last penny out of the people It’s not about the content but the money, money, money ofc 💸

Tweet limits should only be used as a ‘tool’ against timeline spamming(max xx posts per minute), not to force people to pay. That’s bad

Joe Biden showed last night that he is more than capable of taking on the extremist GOP and even getting them to support bedrock earned entitlements like Social Security. What a masterful stroke that was! I'm proud to stand with him.

Amazing news out of Europe. Treating the “forever chemical” family of PFAS as the public health menace it is. We need the US EPA to stop playing with our people’s health and do the same.
