@blogdiva Well it's their property so unfortunately, they can decide what to do with it. They clearly felt that it was too difficult to convert things over to static sites since they weren't getting any revenue from it.

Matthew Sheffield (mattsheffield@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 11-Jun-2024 05:17:00 JST Matthew Sheffield While you weren't looking, the Christian right has established a gigantic social media brainwashing operation telling young people that creepy pastors should control everyone's sex life.
"Most of our problems in society … are caused by premarital and extramarital sex," TheBlaze host Allie Beth Stuckey said recently.
They can't defeat the opposition intellectually, so they've decided to force everyone to obey through politics.

Matthew Sheffield (mattsheffield@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 05-May-2024 05:38:58 JST Matthew Sheffield I recently came across this quote, allegedly from Epicurus, but I cannot find a citation. Is it real?
“If the gods listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another”

Matthew Sheffield (mattsheffield@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 29-Apr-2024 03:07:58 JST Matthew Sheffield The Christian right can't get converts anymore so they're resorting to trying to breed more of them.
They can't recruit so they must reproduce. They're desperate that Christianity in America is being taken over by Hispanics.

Matthew Sheffield (mattsheffield@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 02-Apr-2024 01:54:56 JST Matthew Sheffield As has already happened several times, Trump cultists who own the Truth Social stock are losing money bigly.
After news broke that Truth Social is accelerating its money losing and that its users are declining, the stock has plummeted drastically.
This is what a "bloodbath" looks like.

Matthew Sheffield (mattsheffield@mastodon.social)'s status on Friday, 15-Mar-2024 06:00:47 JST Matthew Sheffield The Christian right is going to lose it over the latest Gallup survey finding that 21% of Gen Z women are bi and 5.4% are lesbian.
Young women no longer being constrained by religious authoritarianism is the number-one reason why the right wing is freaking out so bad, and why misogyny is out of control.
They view young women as their property and it enrages them that it's not working anymore #lgbtqia

Matthew Sheffield (mattsheffield@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 13-Mar-2024 06:08:55 JST Matthew Sheffield The biggest scam in politics besides Trump is that Republicans care about religious freedom. They actually strenuously oppose it for anyone who is not a Christian.
Anyone can verify this by seeing how right wing judges completely disregard Indigenous religious cases https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/03/supreme-court-and-religion-judges-christianity.html

Matthew Sheffield (mattsheffield@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 03-Mar-2024 06:59:14 JST Matthew Sheffield Reactionary morality flows downward in a hierarchy. The higher one is, the more rightful their actions are.
With some variations it is as follows:
1) The maximum leader (Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, etc)
2) Political party
3) Wealth
4) Religion
5) Race
6) Sex
7) LocalityIn this framework, it is not wrong for Donald Trump to engage in actions that violate Christian teachings. Nor is it wrong for wealthy people to do so.

Matthew Sheffield (mattsheffield@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 03-Mar-2024 06:59:14 JST Matthew Sheffield 🧵 Reactionaries evaluate moral choices through identities rather than principles.
What others may see as hypocrisy is actually consistent commitment to the power dynamic they obsessively follow.
The rightfulness of an act is not determined by moral principles but by identity of the person or group committing it. #philosophy

Matthew Sheffield (mattsheffield@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 19-Feb-2024 06:08:42 JST Matthew Sheffield The whole "let's replace Joe Biden with an invisible pink unicorn at the convention" thing is nothing but a fantasy that is apparently entertaining to some political and media types, but it is a delusion.
The time to get Biden not to run for reelection was late 2021. Which would have also destroyed his ability to get big progressive wins like the Inflation Reduction Act.
The politics of replacing Biden at this juncture are disastrous and no one should pretend otherwise: https://www.playtyperguy.com/p/ezra-kleins-plan-for-replacing-joe
