I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

I'm cautious when there is reporting based on "we think we found his/her social site" since in the past they've gotten the wrong person.
This one seems life a better approach, based on official record:
BREAKING: Dayton Mass Shooter Was Registered Democrat, Voted In 2 Dem Primaries
This can't be right, can it?
NEW: The Dayton Shooter Was a Satanist, Leftist-Socialist, and Bernie/Warren Fan, Supported Antifa
This is a pretty major development.

I truly miss the internet ethos of the 1990s.

Best argument I've seen against the national popular vote. Illinois did this same thing earlier this year I believe.
How destroy democracy in the republic :
1. Switch to a national popular vote because you lost the election but won the popular vote.
2. Still, you might lose, so in some states cheat : allow voter fraud, and even ban your opponent from the ballot.
3. Sit back and WATCH your side gain power. There is no way other states can compensate for this corruption when it's a NPV.

Maybe the Men Should Sue? US Soccer President Carlos Cordeiro Says Women's Soccer Team Already Makes More Than the Men
Good at Soccer — Not Good at Math — Or Patriotism For weeks and weeks the media has reported the Women’s National Team made less than the men’s team. It made headlines. The women actually sued to get equal pay! And Elizabeth Warren tweeted even about it. The @USWNT is #1 in the world & …

Ted Cruz blows a hole in Google
The hearing that exposed Google political machinations went very well for a top-notch lawyer and proven excellent debater, Senator Ted Cruz. In fact Cruz made it look easy

This is the Josh Harris who kissed dating goodbye? He seems to be kissing a lot of things goodbye this year from what you've shared.

Wow! Great Atlantic article about a study showing the social media view of the clean cut political divide in the US is inaccurate. The majority have so much to agree on. CW for length of a few quotes from the article.
From the article :
On social media, the country seems to divide into two neat camps...Reality is nothing like this. As scholars Stephen Hawkins, Daniel Yudkin, Miriam Juan-Torres, and Tim Dixon argue... most Americans don’t fit into either of these camps. They also share more common ground than the daily fights on social media might suggest.
...
In a democracy, it is difficult to win fellow citizens over to your own side, or to build public support to remedy injustices that remain all too real, when you fundamentally misunderstand how they see the world.

"Facts are stubborn things, but... not half so stubborn as fallacies."

I know Trump drama is in the news as if he's literally Hitler; meanwhile a communist government is ratcheting up a crackdown on Christians, Muslims, and other religious citizens, demanding loyalty to the ruling party alone.
Looking through old toots now, and noticing more news stories of China 's government b teaching dangerous lies about Christianity and tracking who in what cities are Christians. What could go wrong?

Uspol
the administration prosecuted leakers, shutout the media, and used lie-detectors on staffers, criticized by NYT Washington correspondent as "the most closed, control freak administration I’ve ever covered"
This was the Obama admin.
It's increasingly seeming as if the problems brought with Trump aren't problems (just hysteria for news viewership) or weren't brought with Trump.

If we only tolerate those we agree agree with, I'm not sure that's tolerance.
