I am beginning to wonder about the vax making my ukulele group friends unable to engage in deductive reasoning (if they were ever able to in the first place!) A member called another member saying he was isolating (not coming to practice) because he was around two people who tested positive, but they have no symptoms...will I ever be able to attend another session without hearing about CoVId???? arugh!

Covid-19 has become an excuse for agoraphobia.

Insanity! It's almost as if they take pleasure out of pulling the trigger on people when they post relatively benign things.

I don’t think it’s twitter that’s doing it, in some cases. The algorithm isn’t smart enough to pick up or flag the tone/intent of your tweet.

Either you were reported by a band of Naperville trolls, or someone with more pull sent a direct message.

Those censors at twitter—nasty small minded humorless scolds. Like witches or goblins in fairy tales. Gollum in Tolkien only punier.

I’ve found the trick is to have hardly any followers — then you can say anything you want!

Sometimes. I know plenty of ppl with lower follower counts who’ve been kicked off.

All Governor Buttercow knows how to do is be a bully. He's a spoiled trust fund brat who's never been told "no". So when he's met with any pushback whatsoever, he can't take it. Even his minions are acting like bullys. https://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2022/09/violence-erupted-at-pritzker-campaign-event-in-charleston-il/

It's all about creating the specter of An Invisible Enemy that distracts from the destruction of his policies.

Yep, because it's always someone else's fault.

Twitter bans are weird, in that you are only banned from tweeting. You and Matt and every other person kicked off Twitter can still read tweets, and can still reprint/copy them and write about them here and elsewhere on the Internet. Twitter's not a walled garden.

So apparently Pfizer owns Twitter, right? Makes sense.

I saw his tweet yesterday and thought it was hysterical. Shame on him for mocking one of the "experts" :)
