I keep getting flagged on X for being a bot... it's funny because real bots are all over that app. I've been trying to stay out of echo chambers to keep perspective, but I'm not going to pay for that little blue check. I refuse.

Defund and ban any research on it, avoid common sense laws and resort to thoughts and prayers after every preventable loss of life.
