Republicans want to regulate social media companies. Democrats want to regulate social media companies. They want to regulate social media companies in different ways, but they both want to regulate social media companies.
See: thehill.com/blogs/congress…
I see the argument that Republicans want *less* moderation (and want to force social media companies to bend the knee), which is both true... reason.com/2021/03/19/gov…
And not true. (See: Lindsey Graham's EARN IT Act. ) vox.com/policy-and-pol…

I will not watch the squid show, why would I watch a show about stressful things when I could not do that
Counterpoint: I could just not watch this glamour.com/story/maid-on-… Image
Again, what I want from a television show is to make me feel either "nothing" or "good"

Also, Section 230 applies to all sites that contain third-party (as in your) content and permits any of those sites to edit/moderate user content and users as they see fit.
This op-ed gets at this a little bit while also engaging in some mindbending stupidity (what are "common-sense rules of decency"?) wsj.com/articles/small…
I'm reminded that some people express ire at Twitter not because people get banned, but because the *wrong* people get banned.

Yes. That's the point. nationalreview.com/corner/sadly-o…
Peter is the Rock of the Church, Peter also denied Christ three times, once to a child, and also witnessed the freaking Transfiguration and responded with "this is a real estate opportunity!" And that's SAINT PETER, for heaven's sake.
(I will never get over Peter going from "I'm gonna cut off that guy's ear!" to "I don't know her" in like four hours.)

If you're a fitness influencer the last six hours of your life have been extraordinarily challenging. No one's getting influenced on here. These are the dark places.
No swipe-through HIIT circuits over here. No inspo. Just wolves.
No one here even cares about a bench arch, nor would they be willing to fight over one for months on end and comment on old photos to demand you explain why you bench with an arch, not one person here

This is a very dumb ad but also worth noting that becoming governor of Arizona would not give her, or anyone, the power to do "take a sledgehammer to the media," which is not a thing.
The increasingly disproportional relationship between "what politicians promise they will do" and "what they actually can do" is very bad!
She's not going to take a sledgehammer to the media (which appears to be just CNN?), but that sounds really good while also being a thing everyone knows she can't do so no one would ever be like "did you sledgehammer the media yet"

I get this, but having watched the movie enough (okay like dozens of) times, one thing about the world it depicts is how small and incestuous it is, and that's... not appealing to me.
You go to the same restaurants and you go to the same vacation spots and you live your entire life around the same 20 people and the worst thing that could possibly happen to you is to be cut off from those 20 people.
You're surrounded by people who are deeply irritating and whose lives ultimately mean nothing, and any effort to raise your own profile (even very stupidly) is punished if it doesn't benefit the people around you.
