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.

Twitter suspends renowned doctor for making positive comments about #hydroxychloroquine
Dr. David Samadi, once named one of New York City's top doctors by New York Magazine, was suspended by Twitter for 24 hours due to positive comments he made about the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment of #COVID-19.

This is really interesting. They colorized a photo by overlaying some lines in a grid and ONLY adding color to the lines but oversaturating the color. The rest of the image is black and white.
The result is that at a distance or in the thumbnail it just looks like an ordinary color photo. It is only when you look up close you notice what is going on.

There is absolutely NOTHING obtuse about my position. It's as clear as day.1/ If you want to wear a mask, then wear a mask2/ This should not be mandated by the government nor enforced by police 3/ Harassing strangers for not wearing or not wearing one is uncalled for.Done Tek: @ZubyMusic I like you mate and you talk a lot of sense on here. Which makes it all the more surprising you're so obtuse on this subject. https://twitter.com/ZubyMusic/status/1286611472504807425 #Zuby

John MacArthur's Grace Community #Church announces it will not obey California's ban on indoor worship services
Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, #California, said it would continue holding services, saying government mandates restricting worship are overstepping and it has no duty to follow them.
China is using Uighur slave labor to produce medical masks
Days after drone video footage showed hundreds of blindfolded Uighur Muslim prisoners with shaved heads being led by Chinese military officers onto trains, a New York Times video investigation has revealed China is using Uighur slave labor to produce medical masks.
https://disrn.com/news/china-is-using-uighur-slave-labor-to-produce-medical-masks-amidst-pandemic
Was informed by a staff member of a #church in southwest #Denver metro that #colorado churches are being shut down by the government after their services were unknowingly monitored by government visitors who say they aren't following #COVID-19 restrictions closely enough so must shutter their doors.

China Orders Christians to Take Down Images of Jesus from Their Homes
"This year, China’s “social credit system” was scheduled to become fully functional"
"The officials threatened the Christians that non-compliance with the order would result in suspension of their welfare subsidies."
KGB style. Turning people into spies. You can't trust anyone:
"The fears are tied to “cash rewards for those who inform on underground churches and other ‘unofficial’ places of worship"

Incredible!At his first campaign event, @KanyeWest shares that when @KimKardashian got pregnant with their first child, North, he wanted an abortion at first. Says Kanye: “She brought North into the world, even when I didn’t want to. She stood up and protected that child”! https://twitter.com/LilaGraceRose/status/1284997656440258560

Kanye West thinks we shouldn't kill babies, so the Left calls him insane. They want to concern-troll him (and all the rest of us) into a mental institution. He must be crazy. Leftist "science" says babies aren't babies, and only lunatic would deny science. https://twitter.com/michaeljknowles/status/1285044467175575552 #Science

Showed up on a web search : What Keeps America Divided? The New York Times.

This has me asking why new, possibly unconstitutional (illegal), mask mandates and offer tighter restrictions are being put in place.

After several weeks off of #running due to a non-running injury, I got back to the distance I'd been running:
36+ miles per week (7/8/7 and a half marathon or longer distance on the weekend)
My speed still suffers. I had gotten to below 6 minutes per mile on my fastest mile. I"m not that fast now.
I'd love to understand the constitutional case for mask mandates.
