For those who noticed that there was no text appearing in my posts, it was a problem with a plug in for my Twitter feed. I’ve deactivated it.
Joe Biden
I do think he’s getting a bad rap for his creepy behavior, but I’ve no idea where Piers Morgan gets the idea that he’s “one of America’s most decent men.” I don’t think that decent men accuse their political opponents of racism and a desire to put blacks back in chains. It’s particularly odious when it was his party that historically had that desire, and until the Civil War, literally did it.
Democrats And Socialism
Well, this is refreshing. Maybe she should think about switching parties, though; she seems out of touch with the base.
Dune
They’re shooting a new film version of it.
Potentially unpopular opinion: I think the Dune series, including the original book, is one of the most overrated works in SF.
Pete Buttigieg
The Equality Act
I think that Trump should declare himself the first female black lesbian president. I would if I were him, just to mock this insanity.

Do sexual identity and gender laws violate the First Amendment?
And a woman whose family, and even her ex, are being persecuted and “investigated” because she “misgendered.”
NATO
What is its 21st-century value?
It’s interesting to note that he doesn’t talk about the current mess with Turkey. I think it was a mistake to admit it.

Speaking of Turkey, Erdogan seems to be losing popular support (which is a little surprising, considering the power grabs he’s been making).
AOC
…doubles down on dumb. Perhaps, like Joe Biden, she also thinks that Roosevelt went on television after the 1929 market crash.
Raptor Over California
An aircraft, not a bird. The state is so gorgeously green right now.
Zuckerberg’s Regulation Plan
It would be a disaster for free expression (more even than we currently have with social media). It’s basically setting up a barrier to entry to his competition.
