I remember watching DS9 back in the 90s. I didn't see it as a bad show. Not sure why people hate it. But then again... I haven't seen any of it since the 90s...

I never used X. I did half-assedly make an account in 2013 but I have long since deleted it. I have no real use for twitter.

This is why billionaires shouldn't exist.

The other thing I need to mention is that is that Elon Musk is far from the only billionaire with a massively disproportionate influence on elections and society. Or even the biggest. He is just the biggest attention whore of them all.

Has been that way since the mid 80s.

The war against the fairness doctrine was started after the Nixon Watergate scandal and how there was no media apparatus that was 100% on Nixon's side and calling the other side monkeys and bastards.

I remember in the late 90s and early 2000s when Christian conservatives said that sex Ed was increasing teen pregnancy rates when in reality they had been dropping since sex Ed was introduced. ..

His health, both physical and mental, should have barred him from being able to do much. I am confident that if he wins, he will probably die in office from some illness. A Vance presidency would then happen...

Some asshole needs to remind him of something called evaporation and vapor pressure...

I can't believe I haven't turned off recall on my latest computer. I need to harden it already... and make my transition to linux.

Also trolls and propagandists employ bad faith tactics specifically to make their opposition do the bulk of the world, which they either ignore after or they just laugh at for some bullshit reason they claim is a gotcha.

There is an Islamophobic author who has been employing shit like in his books since the 90s. It isn't new at all.

And the sources they claim to have heavily researched often never say what they claim they say or are utterly full of shit.

And their own sources are so heavily butchered or even lied about. I cannot count the amount of times people provided me with 'sources' that they claim were ironclad in their favor only for them to completely debunk their shit...
