jfc these people are going to claim trump was right about the vaccine timeline. yes, many experts (not just nye, who is a knowledgable observer at best) were too pessimistic, but no one was as wrong as trump
You know who got the vaccine timeline right? Anthony Fauci
To be clear, the experts who said 12-18 months was too optimistic were also very accomplished doctors and epidemiologists working outside the political realm. They were not bad people, simply wrong.
Yes this is the main point

The Electoral College runs on Google platforms. It's in the Constitution. Google it.
It's impossible to make a joke about a conspiracy theory because it almost certainly exists before you can make it and also you might ascribe it to the wrong ideological group
This is not meant to imply that Trumpers did not also immediately jump to a conspiracy about the google outage. I'm certain they did.

My hot take is that it's corny to use any kind of professional title -- academic, medical, military, religious, etc -- outside of a professional context
Previously on Contrarian Grumbles
Tangentially, the habit of calling former presidents by that title for life is not only corny but downright Un-American! slate.com/news-and-polit…

My daughter is 10. She watched videos about Frozen 2 on your site. The algorithm started recommending alt right rants about why there should not have been black people in the movie. Fuck right off with your blood money.
I get this impulse but "don't watch YouTube" is neither practical nor sufficient in the long term. White parents have to teach kids about 1) racism and 2) how tech companies manipulate them. Protect kids by empowering them. 7 is not too young to start.
Since this is blowing up I should be clear that what I called "alt right rants" were not the aggressive, shouty videos adults get. They were cutesy & subtle: "Haha I guess even Disney is politically correct now!" Kids without tools to recognize racism would not have spotted them.

The neverending tour that is #BD969 now enters the 1990s with a new thread. Backstory: I'm listening to all 969(ish) officially released Bob Dylan songs in chronological(ish) order. If you're just joining us here's an unrolled version of Part 1: 1961-1964: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1097693…
For whatever reason this thread seems to break @threadreaderapp so Part Two: 1965-1969 is itself in two parts. Here's #BD969 Part 2a:

And #BD969 Part 2b: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1104041…

My #BD969 project -- every Bob Dylan song in chronological order -- now enters the 1970s, which means it's time for a new thread so we don't get tangled up in... tweets. (The thread is going to better than that)
If you're just joining #BD969 here's part 1
And here's the unrolled #BD969 Part 2: 1965-1969 threadreaderapp.com/thread/1101132…
