Twitter: Moral Treason

Scott Adams recently covers his [ongoing shadowban](http://blog.dilbert.com/post/152204980091/twitter-and-periscope-shadowban-update), the symptoms of which match those of other shadowbans: results easily visible on a users timeline not showing up in the regular “algorithm” timeline, or more significantly, in search results. He also covers how his Periscope numbers, “coincidentally” drop to zero (though he still is interacting with viewers who can still see his stream) when he starts discussing…

The Personal is Political, and Halloween

The Personal is Political, and Halloween

Just in case, despite all of the recent election coverage, gamergate, the ousting of Brendan Eich, etc., anyone is still convinced that SJW’s and their snow-flakiness is restricted to college campuses, we are reminded, yet again, of exactly how petty SJW’s can be. They simply cannot leave anything be, but just have to crap all over everything, and once they’ve shat one nest, they’ll seek out new places to crap all over until everyone is as miserable as they are.

But what brings me here today is s…

It’s a good thing I don’t give a shit about the NEA, as they don’t really give a shit about students, otherwise I’d have to consider that all of my life, especially during those crucial, tender, snowflake years, I’ve been a victim of continual microaggressions [http://neatoday.org/2016/09/01/pronouncing-students-names/] and didn’t even know it! (Well, I am white, so perhaps my “privilege” canceled that out?) > Overlooking or downplaying the significance of getting a name right, explains Rita K…

Of Course They Were Lying

Of Course They Were Lying

The recent controversy that has caused more BLM-inspired riots (as if they need a reason)was the shooting of an “unarmed” black man by a cop (black, but it’s all whitey’s fault anyway, donchaknow), who’s daughter turned on her camera and promptly told the world he was completely innocent and just holding a book. In addition to the riots, tweets went out with how a black man with a book was more dangerous than a black man with a gun. Yeah, right.While I was willing to consider the possibility th…
