“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.”
~ Hunter S. Thompson

Normally I agree with Ezra Klein, but he set up a false equivalence here: a passive, “Eh, it’s hard to cry when the guy who supported absolutist gun rights died by gun violence” (leftist view) IS NOT THE SAME THING as “let’s go kill the “lunatic left!”” (rightist view). Let’s keep it real here.

In the spirit of shedding the old things which are no longer of service, I’m ditching the socials connected to Zuckerberg & Musk. Goodbye, Trumpanzees — Hello, BlueSky!
