Every time I think that Elon Musk has plumbed the deepest depth, he proves that I am “in error” (as my old boss used to say).

Yet one more indication that “social” media isn’t.

Amongst all the fuss about the Chinese balloon, it’s about all I can do not to remember Francis Gary Powers.
Furthermore, in these days of satellites, “social” media, and the like, all this fuss over a balloon at 60,000 feet seems a bit silly.
It’s not that I’m in favor of spy balloons, but that I’m in favor of a sense of perspective.
Furrfu.

Above the Law has the text of the letter sent to Marjorie Taylor Greene when she used one of Dr. Dre’s songs in a “social” media post. The political nature of the post meant that, under copyright law, permission was required to use the song.
The letter itself? Well, it’s a gem.

A snippet (emphasis added); follow the link for the rest.
As part of their research, the team created models based on death counts from the country’s 2,000 counties that looked at factors ranging from socioeconomic status to obesity. Even when controlling for every other variable, the team found that political affiliation factored heavily in the death rate.
We are a society of stupid.
