It seems like there are 4 categories of Twitter users: 1. Blue checks 2. People who are “obviously” people (PII listed) 3. “Anonymous people”. I see a lot of theses, people with the name “iluvcrypt0” and an emoji of a Pokémon. 4. “Obvious”

Does this include Spotify playlists? YouTube entirely organized chronologically seems like a nightmare too. What about sites that offer study aids? I guess it means all of Reddit would be organized by ‘new’? Hacker news too Edit: Etsy and

Anne Coulter aside, there is a core point here and that is that historically, we've gotten it wrong and I think most of us can agree that looking back we had it wrong. Yes, that Anne Coulter quite is ridiculous but was likely more repr

If that's the part of my comment you're latching onto, and you're not disagreeing with the notion that Repbulicans don't believe in women's rights, than we're in a much worse place than I thought.

Racism and Misogyny are actual forces in this country. Minority activists don't actually have any political power. Besides, who are you expecting to do the denouncing and what are they supposed to denounce? Before I started this comm

I do think that people are so busy being mad about the "Democrats have moved too far left" meme that they haven't really thought about it. The problem being the definition of "too far left". But yeah, I think they
