@Teri_Kanefield Wow. That's bizarre. I suppose that's evidence that Masto is gaining popularity. I've always said that anonymity fuels poor behavior. That's why I came to Masto with the commitment to use my real name and accept responsibility for what I say.

If 2016 to 2022 was the era of fucking around, then most certainly 2023 begins the era of finding out.

@GottaLaff Despite all the practice, he's a really bad liar. I suspect he has spent too many years surrounded by sycophants who pretend to believe every word. A good liar shades the truth. "Of course I know Berdorf Goodman. It was right by my office. I went there many times, as did millions of other people. Is that unusual?"

@pbump But we needed a CNN Fake Town Hall to teach us that Trump supporters are crass, heartless trolls.

@edgeoforever So, how does anyone, and I mean ANYONE justify supporting this guy's business?

@edgeoforever @Bwheatnyc I'm quite certain I don't want a president that Musk considers fairly normal.

@edgeoforever If Ukraine isn't real, then he's losing a war against an unaffiliated insurgent group. Which is not much of an improvement.

@edgeoforever I've seen this referenced a few times, but none of the major news outlets have picked it up - so I have my doubts. When you make a deal to testify, isn't it more typical to get immunity from prosecution? Why would you plead guilty?

@edgeoforever Elon being Elon. And I am not surprised he took some criticism for saying this. BUT, I am willing to bet that he also got quite a bit of support from the MAGA mob that he is hosting over on that awful web site.

@edgeoforever "Sure, he offended some people, but look at what he did for the highway system in Germany. Oh, wait. That was the other guy. Nevermind."

Every passenger on that submarine had the financial resources to build a submarine that would not have killed them. But the huckster did the work and made a very cool sales pitch video, so they put their lives in his hands.

@morgfair Republicans are evolving into an isolated tribe with their own inscrutible belief system and a hostility to outsiders. The only time they venture out of their closed encampments is to engage in hostile interviews with the outside world. They are losing the ability to engage with people outside their tribe. Their tribe is big enough to dominate the party at primaries, but not big enough to win elections. They claim their losses are due to fraud, which isolates them further.

@fawfulfan Given the unique way that Post "sells" content, I have to assume that this is either disliked by news organizations or in direct conflict with the other financial obligations o news orgs.

I'm drawing up my schedule for Thursday/Friday in preparation for a colonoscopy Friday at 2 PM. Just thinking it through is giving me fecal urgency.PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Those new "at home screening kits" only tell you if you have cancerous cells. A colonoscopy includes removal of polyps and that will reduce future risk of cancer.

I'm formulating a business model that delivers medical services more rationally. It is a sedation-based, multi-service platform. Basically, if you're going to be put under light sedation for one thing, then why not bundles the services? Colonoscopy + prostate exam + LASIK + root canal.

@JoshuaHolland The only way to report this is, "Trump Supporters Cite Erroneous Basis to Defend Trump's Indicted Actions."

@pbump There is ample evidence of what Trump will do with the evidence. He will identify witnesses, he will disclose what witnesses are saying, he will cherry pick evidence to his own benefit, all to win the case in the social media realm. He can disclose whatever he wants, AFTER the verdict.

This is a democracy? Big donors literally ask a candidate for a quid pro quo using money as the leverage. Of course it happens all the time. That doesn't make it right.https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4138541-desantis-donor-cuts-off-funds-moderate-shift/

@edgeoforever He's so tactically inept. This is the guy you want negotiating with world powers? He brags that he has his exonerator report coming out Monday, and within two days he has to walk it back. Not a single MAGA warrior sees this at face value.

At least Vivek was forthright and owned his depravity.
