I can still remember when being antisemitic meant you discriminated jews and denied the Holocaust. Now, it mostly means you oppose genocide.

But it's not working anymore. The game is up. And I predict Paramount is going to regret this.

I absolutely loved the series to date.

Thank you for writing it.

It never stops being weird watching homophobes dance to YMCA, the most popular gay anthem of all time.

“…the neo-Nazis told police they had never experienced a response like the one they received in Columbus. They said people pulled guns on them and threw cans and vegetables as they marched... One of the officers noted the men were ‘covered in’ pepper spray.”

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
