@dsilverman create your own bubble

@dsilverman Gonna just take your word for it. I'm kinda done with billionaire-backed platforms that are all but sure to get snatched out from under you once you've become dependent.

@Cassandra @dalias @Daojoan As nice is that is to picture, what you'd really end up with are politicians who seek income from sources other than their official wage. Maybe from a local mafia don, maybe from a foreign nation's intelligence assets, etc, etc....

Hell, they're *already* susceptible to that

@StillIRise1963 Now, can anyone actually make the MFer pay?

That's the real test here I guess

@StillIRise1963 Taking his money is literally the only thing that can hurt him besides utter humiliation, which the legal system can really only dole out in the form of taking his goddamn money.

Good !

@ryanhoulihan My favorite:

@HistoPol @timnitGebru @nathans Sorry, Musk and Dorsey are just not that intelligent. This is little more than privileged stumblefuckery--any explanation that involves actual strategy is giving these numb-nuts far too much credit

@ryanhoulihan @EmbraceBecoming I mean.... 🧐

@ryanhoulihan @EmbraceBecoming I was astonished when I learned there's like a high council of the French language that accepts or rejects new words based on their perceived benefit or harm to the uhh Frenchness of French.

It's absurd and specifically limits the utility of language. A language that grows organically is one that's serving its speakers' purpose. A language being dictated to you from on high...well whose purpose is that serving?

I gotta say @ProPublica is doing some amazing reporting on domestic politics. "We Don't Talk About Leonard" should be required reading (or listening, there's a 3 part podcast with @onthemedia)
