'recrudescence' (17th century), meaning the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@GFerro1965 The reality is that the people leaving Twitter want a platform with exactly the same UI.
This is not that platform.
It's utterly lazy, and misses the point about assholes dominating platform.

Do you by any chance happen to know where the data for these maps are coming from? As in, which poll(s) or studies? I'd be interested in seeing the original data.

Re my comment about No-Fault divorce yesterday...
The surge might already be happening.

[The Presidential Medal of Freedom is] the highest award you can get as a civilian. It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor. But [the] civilian version, it’s actually much better because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead.”

My grandfather fought the Nazis.

His children and grandchildren turned around and voted for them.

Happy Veterans Day, America...

@InUnfunky well those one issue abstaining or Green Party voters really showed those Dems.

The first rule of hurt your own causes club is don’t acknowledge you’ve hurt your own causes. Deflect, blame someone else, or move into fantasy and say “the reaction against Trump will bring about THEE revolution.” And yes, I say all tactics deployed on the Twitter in 2015/2016.

Dolts. Well meaning dolts. Well meaning dolts are nonetheless still dolts.

My thanks to every Veteran for your service and dedication to democracy and our constitution.

And much gratitude to my husband for his 3yrs 5mos 47days on the flight deck drenched in toxic fuel. He’s paying a big price for it now.

Never forget Vets are dying every day from the service that was decades ago. ❤️🤍💙#VeteransDay

For consideration - while I'd argue that there's damage from Reagan that has never been undone, and we'd all agree that the media and social environment is very different, he does offer some things to ponder:

It’s not just the election. It’s broader than that. It’s that a permanent propaganda campaign has been supercharged in the last two years, in ways that weren’t even true when Fox News relentlessly tried to take down Hillary and her spouse in the 1990s. And that propaganda campaign has played a key role in leading people to distrust and eschew “reality,” including the reality that Joe Biden was better for the economy and Trump is unashamedly corrupt.

Given that communication is rarely a solitary activity, monitoring migrants and foreign travelers inevitably involves surveilling Americans, too. #privacy

All the WWII pictures. The irony is thick. I thank all veterans for their service, and hope it was not in vain 🌺
