Was waiting for someone to finally pin him down on what makes him think he's a centrist (ie, what part of the GOP platform he disagrees with) but drug legalization is an obvious position he stumbled into because it's convenient for his personal vices. He wants himself and his elite friends to have safe and legal access to drugs. It will probably only take a day until he starts gleefully fantasizing about feeding any poor or homeless drug users into a thresher.

My oldest needed her tonsils/adenoids shaved at a very young age. Guess I should have held off doing anything until she was 18 and let her suffer from years of sleep apnea, throat infections, and eating issues right because at 5 she couldn’t consent?

God these people are absolutely loving stupid
A father and son have a car accident and are both badly hurt. They are both taken to separate hospitals. When the boy is taken in for an operation, the surgeon (doctor) says 'I can not do the surgery'. Is this because:

1) The surgeon is a woman and the patient is her son
2) The patient is under the age of 18 and therefore cannot consent to treatment
3) The patient is trans and it is illegal to give them medical care them under state law

Tucker Carlson tweeted Olivia Rodrigo's "Traitor" and Billie Eilish's "Happier Than Ever" while complaining about "fake friends" late into the night.

If it wasn't for @ElonMusk, the tyrants at Old Twitter could have very well suspended Carlson's account or DMCA'd the videos, keeping us from knowing how not mad he is. By cutting the moderation team to shreds, he can be assured his voice will be heard on New Twitter.

The handcuffs are off.

Lowly trolls won't block someone because they're both desperately lonely and hateful, and hostile interactions are the only kind they're comfortable with.

Culture warriors won't block because it diminishes their engagement and that's all that matters to them. Making an offensive or controversial tweet harvests engagement. Making an embarrassing or stupid tweet harvests greater engagement from people who think they're scoring points by dunking on them, but don't realize they're playing different games. They purposely go out of their way to say something insane or ridiculous when things are starting to slow because it gets shared, commented on, maybe even be referenced in articles to support a headline, which hopefully drives readers to their other content. I think it also confuses libs who think they're in on some joke, or maybe the other racist tweets are some kind of joke they don't get.

This is why someone like Ali Alexander will pepper in a claim that he can time travel and then go back to talking about the elections all being stolen. He put that bit in the closet and it will come out again, or something similar, when he feels he's not getting enough attention. The Hellenist is the one who legitimately posted that having a small penis shows you're intelligent and have divine ancestry. Look at the engagement he gets on the football tweet versus the race science graphs. It's all in the game.

For the right wing to block, you usually have to be someone running a grift that requires isolating your audience, or some rube propped up by money that doesn't know what they're doing (Dave Rubin).
