@kel Musk has been hard at work doing so.

@FlaviadeLuce Sorry to hear that.
I'm not sleeping well lately, and when I do sleep I often have bad dreams. It's unsurprising that I miss things and sometimes misunderstand--the whole world is a blur to me right now. The amazing thing is that I can function at all.
Divorce is having that affect on me.

Things are destined to get a lot busier around here. It's inevitable. Some tips to keep us sane:
1. Mute or block anyone who harshes your mellow.
2. Welcome newcomers, report asshats.
3. Follow who you like. Post about what you like. That's how followings are made.
4. Turn off the Community Firehose if it ever overwhelms you.
5. There's a moment between authoring the post and posting the post. USE IT. If you post mean-spirited content, then we all look mean-spirited. See #1.

Then there's Tulsi, bless her heart. The horseshoe theory stipulates that those on the outer political fringes are just looking for the newest nutty thing to latch onto. The labels don't matter: The nuttiness quotient is all that's important.
Just prior to the 2016 GOP NH debate, a reporter was talking to some college students about who they supported. To them, it came down between Trump or Sanders. That's the horseshoe theory at work.

I just wanna say that Musk fans going "Twitter is owned by an African-American now" are easily the most cringe people out there?
