  • The social media scene should be fragmented. The fact that everything became so centralised was a problem, and became weaponised. Too many people see these things as necessary to get a singular “good” message out, but a monoculture is unhealthy regardless of how well intentioned the message is.

    What fragmentation means is that now sites need to put more effort in getting an audience. No more posting on Twitter/Facebook and watching the clicks come in. The flip side will be a better diversity of opinion in discussions and a healthier community.






  • He stacked the Scotus for sure, but he never should have had the chance. The fact that Obama’s vacancy from Scalia’s death was delayed by a full year into Trumps term, and then RBG, who had decided not to retire under Obama, died in September of 2020 just a couple of months before Biden’s election. If you play by consistent rules then at least one of those should be a democrat appointment.

    So having done that, what was his role in overturning RvW? He takes “credit” for it, but all he did was appoint two judges. Two very damaging judges, but you don’t have to act with intent to make stupid choices that are exploited by others.
