@RickASamuelson It wasn't called "Easter" until the 7th Century, and is still only called that in English- and German-speaking countries. Almost the whole world calls it "Pascha" - Passover - and it's in the Spring because it was intended to be the Sunday after Passover. Which is why its date is determined by the moon instead of the sun.

@gshevlin True, but technology has always been misused by the duplicitous, the venal, and the grasping, and we should expect it and assume it will happen.

So where does the surprise come from? Nazis aren't exactly known for their commitment to free speech. What kind of unrealistic view do you have to have to think that a Nazi sympathizer is going to stick to abstract free speech principles when they come between him and power?
These are all parts of the same thing: power, greed, control--textbook megalomania. You don't get just half of this without the other half following in its wake. The shark's nose is followed by its tail.
@sugar0addict Sorry. Twitter. Right at the top of my feed: "Elon Musk (see more)." And a Tweet that mentions him.
@sugar0addict I notice that it's now showing me Tweets where "Elon Musk" is the subject, even if they are posted by people with no connection to me.

@Cosmichomicide So he's not just a bad businessman, but certifiably insane, too?
