I like how Twitter is now The Producers in that its owner is actively trying to sabotage it and also there are Nazis

Maybe I'm being a little too harsh. Most of the engagement I get here is great and a lot of fun, but I find strangers explaining things I know to me more annoying than random vile trolls on birdsite. Although with the marked uptick in trolls it has been pretty awful.

In the student loan case, SCOTUS held that the text of the law passed by Congress allowed Biden to do exactly what he did, but the GOP Justices didn't feel like he should, and therefore they were not going to let him.
Fact is the moment Musk relents and makes Twitter even slightly usable again they're all going to go back there. We've seen this over and over again: Musk breaks something, it's the Fediverse jubilee. Musk unbreaks it even slightly, you can't see them for dust.

As Emily Post advised us in her most famous work, “Etiquette on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram”: “One should only post on Twitter to announce a birth, a marriage or a death in one’s family, leaving one’s followers’ quotas largely in reserve for the receipt of messages from disaster management authorities in regard to earthquakes, floods and wildfires.”

I'm a bit late with this, but I thought it was excellent:
"2021: Russian army, #2 army in the world
2022: Russian army, #2 army in Ukraine
2023: Russian army, #2 army in Russia"

Navalny, tweetsite:
Normally I'd never link to this site, but the unauthorized mastobots aren't threading this right and are missing bits of it. Very worth reading.
I'm here to report that if you drop a chocolate-covered almond on the floor, it is possible to wash and dry it, if you don't use hot water and you're quick about it.
My current hairstyle is called the "let it go all you want, just keep the sides cleaned up." It's kind of the Darryl Hall principle.

A current joke in Ukraine, reportedly:
"The Ukrainian military is now suffering a severe supply shortage. NATO factories are working round the clock, but are wholly unable to meet Ukraine's current demands for popcorn."
(paraphrased from Gerashchenko_en at that other site)
Hey, groundskeeper across the street!
Yes you, the one with the unmuffled gas-powered leaf blower, who's spent the last three minutes trying to herd a single leaf into the gutter...
Has it occurred to you to just bend over and pick it up?

Do you think the children of dictators attending private Western schools ever try to one-up each other about how despotic their fathers are?

A sunny start to the day in the city of York. The tango faced shit Gibbon has finally gone but, unfortunately, not forgotten. His honours list (🤮) is a disgrace and I hope King Charles sprains a toe nail and leaves Prince Andrew to do the duty
