This is one of the first things I’ve liked about him

First time on the Tweeter in a month. I see it still mostly sucks ass, with a few pearls around

Elon Musk puts the “cis” in cisgender

I’m sure he’s not a fan! I’m guessing he doesn’t want to face that he has a relatively obvious formula

Great! I wish I could believe he’ll stop being an excuse (“what about Hunter!?!”) but now it’s going to shift to “why did the Derp State let him off so easy?”

June 19, 1983: 40 years ago, the Dragon's Lair arcade game was released. #80s Featuring the animation of Don Bluth, it was the 1st game to cost 50 cents.

If you’re not sure why Elno bought Twitter, look at how it’s helping right winger RFK Jr and the Rogan debate/vaccine pile on. The anti-vaxx perspective is not popular, but on here it feels like the country is about to win the #WarOnVaccines

Thread: I work in an arcane field where the job requires specific technical knowledge, built on a ladder of understanding and breakthroughs going back over 100 years. It's not immunology but it's not nothing.

For example, to prove my point, I opened the podcast (open.spotify.com/episode/3DQ…) and skipped forward to a random location, around 37 minutes into the thing (I can't bear to watch all 3 hours and debunk point by point). At this point, he's talking about a "Lazarus Report" that said 1 in 37 people had an adverse reaction to vaccine. I'm pretty sure he means this: digital.ahrq.gov/sites/defau… This is the sort of things that live, I can't rebut, but written, I can. I googled, I found the thing, I read the thing. It doesn't say what RFK claims it says. The way VAERS (vaccine adverse event reporting system) works is that you should report any event after a vaccine that happens 30 days after. This includes things that couldn't possibly by related to the vaccine, such as a pedestrian getting hit by a car. This floods VAERS with garbage, where 99.9% of the reports have nothing to do with vaccines, because on average, within 30 days, things happen to people. In other words, 1-in-37 is the same chance that in the next 37 months, you'll have one of the 890 conditions that VAERS wants reported: falling down the stairs, getting a cold, severe headache, ingrown toenail, and so forth. This is normal. If you get a placebo vaccine instead of a real one, there's a 1-in-37 chance in the month after you'll have some event that VAERS wants reported. The point of VAERS isn't the absolute numbers but relative numbers. There's a spike in the number of people getting ingrown toenails after a new measles vaccines, something so totally unexpected, this system will help find it. During the pandemic, lazy doctors who did a poor job reporting to VAERS suddenly got diligent, and the number of VAERS reports shot through the roof -- including all 890 categories, including getting hit by a car. It didn't mean covid caused anything, because almost all 890 categories went up mostly equally. It's how we know myocarditis was actually a problem, because those reports went up more than the rest. The point is that you really can't debate this sort of thing live. I'd never heard of the "Lazarus Study" before, though I have researched VAERS thoroughly, so I wouldn't be able to debunk it. Conversely, RFK just brings it up out of nowhere and misrepresents it. Moreover, the RFK/Rogan audience have such low levels of education, they simply can't follow the complex explanation debunking it. You can't live debate crazies. It just won't work.

Spitting fire

Breaking character: I have a lot of experience dealing with a narcissistic sociopath at work. Trump is one as well, so the whole "moving on from Trump" thing is very unlikely to work. GOP is stuck with him til he dies...(1/X)

The Russian invasion of Ukraine was wrong, but if I see one more Ukrainian flag on a house with a Black Lives Matter sign in the yard, I'm going to have to start retweeting Russian propaganda again.

New villain just dropped

Whether it’s Garth Brooks saying transphobia won’t be tolerated in his bar or it’s Kid Rock helping map a nuclear attack on North Korea, singers across the political spectrum are taking strong political stands.
