🌱 I was WFH and while I was making lunch felt like I just had way too many cherry tomatoes (two more bags still in the fridge).

I got to chat w/Slate for a pod on the history of jawboning, talking about how different presidential administrations have engaged platforms when they have issues with content. With Obama - ISIS. With Biden - COVID. And with Trump, well... this. Jim Jordan, Sen Cruz, Schmitt are just bs artists. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiazd3dnhsx5ruugbe66crmnafvyy3mjvohigk7oyqsw5fmv537pra

Here we gooo...another hearing on the Biden Censorship Regime of 2018, from Ted Cruz. Ted begins by alleging that under the guise of "quote misinformation" govt was the arbiter of truth. He claims A Berenson could prove govt censored him; court dismissed B's case. [www.youtube.com/watch?v=bshN...]( ) [Part II of Shut Your App: How ...]( )

Grokipedia: Just Asking Questions The Twitter Files entry is surreal lol. “Well here is the law, and the documents, and what the FBI did…but have you considered that Michael Shellenberger wrote some shit?” It’s like an incredibly verbose Conservapedia. [grokipedia.com/page/Twitter...](

Here she is. Tucker Carlson: “If the vaccine is effective and you take it, then why does it matter if I take it?” Cheryl Hines: “It doesn’t make any sense.” Tucker: “So ‘my body, my choice’ was not a real thing, it turned out.” “It’s your body, my choice.” Cheryl: “Yeah, your body, my choice.” https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiemltppm7g3ozzgvergaq3c6a6vnorq2cluc2kh3w2kmkbtehbi6q

Donald Trump ran the government during the 2020 election, which was free & fair and widely investigated already.
