One might, for instance, be willing to squander $44B in order to achieve the political goal of silencing some voices while amplifying others. Or, less rationally, one simply might use economic leverage to sow chaos and exact revenge. We're not necessarily talking about well-informed, rational actors here who behave like other people, and trying to interpret events through a framework of economic rational choice is an idealization of the situation that's destined for failure.

Next time I get pulled over for speeding, I’m going to declare my candidacy for president.

Message for my fellow Twitter refugees

When we came here from birdland, the good people of CoSo took us in & were kind & welcoming and smart and funny and easy to be with.

And we all can enjoy that good company for a long time for absolutely free & nobody will harass us for money, judge us for not being able to afford a donation

But we added a huge load to a site that was not expecting so many of us. Servers had to be added, etc. We need to chip in if we can. And if we can't? That's okay, too
