This is why I don’t use it much, and have multiple Twitter accounts. Because I interact with multiple communities.

Sex In The Middle Ages
Really, in the Middle Ages, not middle-age. A disgusting history.
Jordan Peterson
He didn’t just crush Cathy Newman in debate; he provided her with some much-needed therapy.
[Tuesday-morning update]
Conor Friedersdorph isn’t impressed with Newman.
[Late-morning update]
Six words the Left twists to silence you.
He left out “liberal,” though that’s more of a false flag than to silence, per se.
The Scourge Of Multi-Culturalism
Thoughts from David Solway, and slightly less-recent ones on post-modern “progressivism” from Sarah Hoyt.
Free-Speech Zones
…are an atrocity against the First Amendment and against a fundamental purpose of a university. As Glenn says, the officials themselves should be personally liable. That would put an end to this fascist nonsense.
The Totalitarian Culture At Google
I’m switching to Dogpile.
The Latest ASAP Report
I haven’t gotten around to reading it, but Bob Zimmerman has, and he’s not impressed.
The Damore Lawsuit
I hope not. I don’t trust them, or Facebook (or Twitter, though I don’t really share that much personal stuff there). I wish there was a good non-Apple alternative to Android, but it’s one of the reasons that I minimize my mobile use.
[Update a few minutes later]
Google caters to furries, transgenderism, and a “yellow-scaled wingless dragonkin.” But no conservatives viewpoints allowed.
California
They’re not “misguided” — in fact, they’re doing exactly what the progressives designed them to do. Higher housing prices means more money in the pockets of Angelenos and San Franciscans when they go to sell, high energy prices have a disproportionate impact on the poor, generous welfare “benefits” mean an endless supply of new Democrats and permanent employment for the public-employee unions who actually run the state.
It’s a perfect racket, and one that will continue unless and until the California Republicans get their act together and begin vigorously contesting what has become a one-party state designed to enrich those at the top, beggar the middle class, and keep those on the bottom in permanent penury.
Not clear to me there’s anything that California Republicans (such as they are) can do about it. It will continue until they run out of other peoples’ money. Though perhaps the new inability to deduct all of the state taxes will give them a campaign issue.
