two former friends and their very different paths–one towards infamy, prison and suicide

What’s up with this being uncritically repeated

A supporter said this…? What a non-story

I think cats have more freedom than me too. I don’t get to wander into other people’s yards and pee on them

Need to hear more about this facial recognition. Anyone know who makes this thing and whether they’ve published specs?

The murder

This source does not support your assertions.

Is there documentary evidence of this

What were the protests about?

If he is giving a foreign head of state reassurance that US policy will change if he wins, he is also subverting US policy. This is far from a nothingburger.

Are media outlets not allowed to let multiple viewpoints promulgate?

What makes you say that those gains were in spite of support for Gaza? I presume you’re talking about France?

Well apparently that makes you “blue maga”

They ostensibly weren’t until… Well, let’s just say “recently”

What precedents exist to deny first amendment rights to foreigners?

Got to be battery at a minimum

Every day the mask slips further

Yeah, no. You said not voting for Biden is voting for a worse situation for Palestine, which is only true in swing states. Which, I suspect, you know. I didn’t change the topic; you brought up non-election years and other ballot issues.

But if you need it spelled out (we both know you don’t:) if you don’t live in a swing state, your vote for president doesn’t matter.

Don’t be deliberately dense. We’re talking about electing the president, and you asked about a comparison between Biden and Trump.

If you don’t live in a swing state, your vote doesn’t matter.

Absolutely. Compare the kind of censorship that happens on Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit, to the kind that doesn’t happen on TikTok.

For example, I got permanently banned from Reddit (reversed after a few days’ appeal, but it took me out of the game) for pointing out others in the thread conflating ISIS with the general Palestinian public. This was, apparently, hate speech. You see people reporting similar things on all these American platforms.

I have my concerns about TikTok but the pearl clutching is very selective.
