For years, X has systematically shadow-banned my posts & scrubbed most of the Likes from tweets I shared. “Freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach,” indeed.

If you’re that scared of people with differing views being less censored, it could suggest that deep down, you know that those who aren’t in your echo chamber of exclusively like-minded people may actually have something to offer on issues where your take is flawed or incomplete.
Prediction: within the next 2-5 years, we will see a paradigm shift toward *self-recharging solar powered cars,* which still have an option of petroleum or other solid fuel if needed. Top, doors & hood of the car have solar panel technology that charges the battery 24/7
My personal rule for pharmaceuticals is to wait at least 10 years to find out what the side-effects are, because these they do such lousy initial human trials before getting FDA approval that WE are the real human trials
Just sayin’: the real Wonder Woman would have seen the plight of the Palestinian people & fought to liberate them from apartheid. Deport me, cowards.
I enabled all permissions on @RedNote except for location, to thumb my nose at the American censorship of @tiktok_us. China is presumably watching me play Raid: Shadow Legends on my phone right now.

Has it occurred to either of the two parties in this sick duopoly that within a decade, much of Africa will have superior infrastructure to the United States, because China will have “invaded” them by helping them build, instead of bombing them into rubble & installing dictators?
Who knew that Peter Dinklage would be the villain in Snow White? 7 struggling actors are out of a job because of Dinklage’s rant about Disney hiring little people to play little people. Make sure to pull the ladder up once you’ve made it, Peter.
Gonna be a long couple months, with Blinken standing in as de-facto Commander in Chief, & Kamala doing wine rants about not giving up. Meanwhile, Biden was last seen walking into the jungle on a vision quest, disappearing amongst the vegetation like Ray Liotta in Field of Dreams.
Even if you feel awful about the election results, please don’t shun everyone who voted for Trump. Talk to them; if you differ on an issue, try to persuade them of your view. They are mostly caring people, who thought they were doing the right thing.
The question for Israel now is: do you really want to have all of your infrastructure destroyed in a short amount of time, just so you can show multiple countries who’s boss? You’re the size of New Jersey, FFS; does anybody in your government have any common sense?
To those who insinuated that I was ageist, or otherwise biased, when I warned that President Biden seemed to be in a state of cognitive decline (and was therefore the worst person Democrats could run against Donald Trump)… welp, here we are.
Never so much as “My bad” when it turns out my hot-take was actually prescient, while their normie take got it dead wrong. Mostly, they resent me even more—for spreading informed truths, as they were shilling erroneous “received wisdom” from cable news, NYT and Pod Save America.
In light of the past 6 months, I briefly considered demoting the U.S. to “Second-most-evil country,” but then I remembered that unilateral American support is the whole reason Israel has gotten away with flagrant crimes against humanity for decades.
I’d love to share The Critical Drinker’s ‘Everything Everywhere’ video essay, but it’s full of spoilers & I could see curious people clicking to get a feel for this gem of a film, so I’m posting his April 1 announcement that he has decided to quit YouTube. youtu.be/LW0yhZgqBic?si=wLI7…
One reason that the worst war criminals on Earth are so obsessed with imposing authoritarian rule is that if the global power balance were to shift toward democracy and human rights, they would all end up on trial at the Hague. I don’t buy this #MisunderstoodHumanitarians act…
