As with many things, right-wing ghouls don't >really< understand what is meant by "free speech" and "censorship", but Musk had stumbled across an actual factoid that many don't think about: Freedom of speech does not automatically mean freedom to broadcast. Of course, this is cloaked in his "FREE SPEEECH UBER ALLES!!!! <except when it personally affects me, then go pound sand on Telegraph>" hypocrisy, which is entertaining in a "You Goddamned Grifter--go con someone else for a change!" kind of way, and I would probably have a different perspective if I used Twitter. Of course, the >not dumbass< way of banning folk you just don't like is to sotto voce change the TOS (which is always liable to change without notice) at about 0400 EST on a Saturday then quietly ban each of the reporters over a week or two on spurious violation of TOS grounds. JESUS CHRIST, ELON--THIS SHIT ISN"T DIFFICULT!!! HARDEN UP, YOU CREEPY FUCKER!!!
Concur about Defector. I could not care less about sports, but I'm appreciative enough of the writing that I'm an Accomplice. Or whatever that yearly level is...

It's Happy Holidays time

Time to chill. Time to enjoy family and friends.
Time to ponder: Peace on earth good will to all therein
