If you’re still using Gmail as your main email driver, you’re behind the times. For me, it’s becoming like AOL used to be—a Gmail address marks you as a trusting fool, easily led, maybe in need of extra hand-holding. OK for grandma... | via startthis.org/?p=1107
OK, since people keep asking: I recommend owning your own domain name and paying a bit annually for hosting.
Firstname@LastName.AltTLD can be nice. There are lots of alternative TLDs today. My address is first@last.io.
ProtonMail or Epik, I guess, for hosting. I use InMotion.
And why?
Because Google violates your privacy, even in some ways your autonomy, and your Gmail address means you accede to the centralizing dominance of one of the most evil corporations in history.
If they can do that, why can't they declare that they love adults? "Consent?" Sure they can consent. Who are you to say they don't love who they love? Love is love! (That's a "MAP" catchphrase too.)
(I hope it's clear that this is all tongue in cheek.)
In Logitech’s latest promoted video on Twitter, we see a contentless series of images of people, featuring especially Lil Nas X—rapper of the Satan Shoes, wearing a lightning earring—and the laughable tag line, “Defy logic.” | via startthis.org/?p=1007
So edgy! So anti-Establishment!
The lightning earring is a “clever” and subversive reference: “I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning.” (Luke 10:18)

Listen—this is absolutely messed up.
College as we know it is over.
Look at this graph. It's amazing. These kids have been completely indoctrinated by the intolerant left. Even the "conservatives" come out 41% in favor of reporting their professors. That's shameful.
Horrifying. Now, you've heard of such things before. We've seen lots of evidence of such intolerance over the last eight years or so. But it's gotten worse, clearly. 85% of the students with the dominant ideology on campus want professors reported! That's huge! It's insane!
In other words, the *typical* progressive student, not the crazy radical but the ho-hum garden variety one, wants both professors and students to be "reported to the university" if they say something "offensive." And you know how easily offended those people are.
Shots fired. Here is an issue that will divide conservatives and libertarians. I maintain free speech is fundamental; but PornHub is an evil den of pedophilia. Does that make it lose its free speech rights? Well...generally, no, it doesn't.
Their failure to rein in sex trafficking, especially child sex trafficking, on their website is inexcusable and ought to be made a criminal case. They deserve to go out of business.
But silenced? Well, are they breaking the law, or breaking *reasonable* rules, in the feed?
