I actively dislike Trump & this site. His Twitter account has certainly had an outsized, negative effect on my work life, & if you follow Twitter’s logic (meh) my loved ones are among those his speech actively endangered. So, don’t love those things, but I do love speech.
I do not think a coordinated, corporate crackdown over several platforms, which limits the online speech of a bunch of Americans is good. It feels creepy & authoritarian. I’m surprised how many seem content it won’t spread to speech they like or chill their own to prevent banning
And, no, it’s not a 1st Amendment assault in that government isn’t doing it. But preventing government censorship seems about the least we can do for speech, & when I come to this garbage site however rarely, I’d like to see a variety of viewpoints from you freaks.
I also think Section 230 protections KEEP a bunch of people and speech from being banned, & am wary of messing with them, so I’m sure there’s something in this thread for everyone to hate! Which is good! Good practice for enduring and defending speech you dislike.

Trying to get my husband a Christmas present: a thread.
My husband is very hard to shop for. He is quite particular and buys everything he wants for himself anyway. But THIS year, he mentioned one thing one time, and it was perfect. All-weather mats for the Jeep. Great!
I'm texting the whole family like I'm pitching a multi-level marketing scheme. I am offering YOU the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and sponsor a floor mat and finally get this man something he actually needs and wants. Let me take this off your Christmas plate.
I have my friend @okmaher order the mats for me so it doesn't show up on the credit card. Oh, we are so clever! Surely, the mats will arrive at my home in a nondescript box just like every other Christmastime order!
Realized I had one more @orangetheory Hell Week class to fit in tomorrow morning to get my tank top, which is v. important to me. All the classes have waitlists! Solution: Sign up for 6 am Saturday and watch the waitlist faaaaaade away Friday night.
I’m No. 1 on the waitlist. What do we think? In by midnight or I gotta get up tomorrow morning and stake out the joint?
In! Now, I just have to get up at 530 to work out. 😭
On a very special night, as long as everyone wears black, if one industry of rampant perversion lectures another industry of rampant perversion super self-righteously, all the perversion is solved.
Gal Gadot is a perfect human. We don’t deserve her protection. #goldenglobes
Oh, hi, @TheRock! There are two perfect humans on stage. We don’t deserve their protection.
