And you can still make fun of the pale elong guy while acknowledging that the letter agencies controlling & censoring news is bad! Because that control even extends beyond twitter, and beyond social media!

Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long-stem rose
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah, give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows

And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows

The brown nosing can be seen from space. Trying to dick ride Elon when you post your story on the website of his most HATED ENEMY at the moment won't win you any favors from everyone's favorite boy king.

My read would be that Fang probably already started writing that story as soon as it happened and didn't see any reason to dumpster his piece, doubtful that a dogged defense of the Twitter Files will win him any Musk points. Musk's promotion of the Twitter files through his own tweets and retweets tapered off long before Fang even joined the team. 50/50 Whether Musk chose this moment to toss Taibbi and ShellyMD because of some dumb plan to steal substack's business or if he's just using that as a convenient excuse to get rid of the Twitter Files.

I agree. Those that do tide pod challenge on tik tok and get other kids killed is gods plan. Same for folks who might think to spread false information during a disaster that may get people killed, they should die from being stupid and its funny to boot!

There is no public benefit from any censoring of voices! It will never once be used for anything sensible! False information has never hurt anyone.

If you ever wander around downtown Vancouver, there's a very good chance to randomly turn a corner and find yourself in the middle of misery central. It's pretty shocking the first time. I have no doubt the same exists in SF.

Eta: long ago I had a read through some of tcc opioid thread, and someone in there was mentioning how easy it was to score in the tenderloin area.

People aren't intentionally buying fentanyl! It is because of prohibition that fentanyl adulteration of other drugs is a thing in the first place!

The correct opinion is that the socio-economic problems at the root of drug abuse should be eliminated but lol so yeah sure legalize heroin.

if so, do you feel it's literally anyone else other than elon?

The Chairman posted:

talking about journalistic integrity in a situation where a billionaire told a bunch of reporters what story he wanted them to write and publicly cut them off over the mildest pushback

Presumably Anglo Musk is the source, at least as far as he's signed off on it and tasked others with finding a certain type of stuff and possibly through an intermediary. I'm not talking about integrity, it's pretty easy to frame Taibbi's refusal to state what's fairly obvious as a self interested decision to not discourage others from talking to him.

East Hastings is perfectly safe, and they people who live there are actually pretty cool and awesome people. You really shouldn't hold the fact that they've been abandoned by a society that has no use for them against them. Most of the people living on the street there don't want to be but have precious few options otherwise, and I say this as someone who worked in the area for many years.
