I see we've moved onto just straight out lying.
What's even more amazing is how getting bodied hard by the community notes doesn't seem to stop people from trying to rewrite history.
There was never a lockdown anywhere in America. You were never forced to stay in your house. At most, you were really inconvenienced for a month, and had to adjust to things being a little different for a while
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
During 2020, 42 US states and territories issued stay-at-home orders, affecting 73% of US counties worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings…. Violations of these emergency orders were legally enforceable and resulted in citations and arrests propublica.org/article/restri…
The more stuff that happens in this world, the more I'm convinced that people live in distinct alternate realities.
Coming back to this post... I'm thinking that the ideas in Path need to come back in a new app.
The idea that you can only have 20-ish "friends" on the app to keep the circle tight is something I think the world could use right now.
The TL;DR version: "Tell me you don't understand why your side lost, without telling me you don't understand why your side lost."
1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.
Put simply: right-wing has narrative dominance.
My org (@mmfa) did this study and been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...
I want @BernieSanders to become a billionaire so bad.
That way he'll shut up about them. Just like he did millionaires, after he became a millionaire.
Man… I loved Path and the ideas it had going. I think it was little do “close circle” for early social networking at the time it was around.
I worked at Path back in 2012. Today, I found the codebase I had on a hard drive and managed to get it building after all these years. Very broken and unusable with no servers, but I'm about to cry. Working at @path was probably the best time of my life. 🥹
This right here.
Most of what people people complain about with regards to capitalism is either A) crony capitalism, B) government interfering in free-market capitalism, or C) government regulation, allowing crony capitalism, which lobbies government to keep it in power.
It feels like so much of modern "progressive-ism" is rooted in trying to deny well instilled evolutionary instinct, and attempting to use language to contort reality to the whims of what it wants to be a truth it can not and will never be.
Honestly, until they can fix:
1. The limited range and
2. Battery charging speeds (or figure out how to do full swaps)
Doing long road trips with an EV isn't going happen anytime soon. I love the idea of EV for doing hyper-local errands, but if I'm going from Houston to even Galveston, I'm taking a gas car.
This!
Here’s an easy one for @DOGE !
ELIMINATE foreign aid! It’s taking money from the poor and middle class in the US and giving it to the rich in poor countries - with a cut to the facilitators in between! Americans don’t want their government to borrow more money to spend on foreign aid.
Besides, it is the immoral transfer of wealth and is unconstitutional.
