Aside:

Farron missed the undercurrent. Let’s decode the code.

When right-wingers attack “welfare,” they are invoking the spirit and racist imagery of Ronald Reagan’s “welfare queen.” The word “welfare” has become yet another racist dog whistle.

The Nation of Me-Me-Me 0

In this age of influencers, an “influencer” shows us, once again, that “social” media isn’t.

Afterthought:

I fear that Look at meeeee! is not a sound cornerstone upon to rest a society.

But it seems to be the one we are choosing.

I have been to Florida many times for both business and pleasure. True, it’s been a couple of decades since my last visit, but, I swear, it seemed to be, as my old doctor used to say, “within normal limits” back then.

Maskless Marauders 0

It’s been a while since I last read the Declaration of Independence, but, to the best of my recollection, nowhere in it did the Founders argue that persons have an inalienable right to “life, liberty, and the perpetuation of a pestilence.”

Empty Suits 0

Above the Law reports on Donald Trump’s bizarre attempts to litigate himself back on Twitter. A snippet:

Last July, Trump sued the three social media giants for tortious deplatforming. The theory of his case is that refusing to let him live-tweet Fox and Friends every morning is actually a First Amendment violation. Now, some might quibble that only the government can violate the First Amendment. But Trump’s lawyers have an answer for that one, and it is that Twitter, Meta, and YouTube are in fact agents of The Man because they are secretly carrying out the edicts of Rep. Adam Schiff, who has threatened to yank Section 230 immunity if they don’t silence Trump.

Which sounds crazy as we type it, because it is literally crazy.

No, I didn’t watch the Oscars. I generally avoid awards shows.

I have no interest in watching show business–er–pleasure itself.
