Reminds me of the time George Will wrote a whole article scolding people for wearing blue jeans.

Thank you. This beneath Nichols, and there are clearly more important issues. I can't wait for Nichols to tell everyone to watch their language as we are all rounded up and put in camps.

Watch out Jeff. Tom Nichols says we should stop swearing and act like grownups. He might wag his finger at you.

Said the same and got told off by Radley. Apparently peons shouldn't have opinions. The seriousness of this moment is beyond policing speech.

I said as much above, then got told my opinion doesn't matter because I don't "write for a major publication."
makettle.bsky.social
He clearly is. Policing speech on the left is the absolute last thing we should be worried about.

Cool, cool. You bear no responsibility what you platform for your audience. Duly noted. Care more for style than substance. I got that too. And you are obviously butthurt, confirming my original mild criticism. But thanks for playing. Muting you now.

Oh, and the idea that criticism is only valid if it comes from somebody who writes for a major publication is elitist AF.

I am actually quite familiar with what the Prof has written over the past 5-7 years. I even bought his book.

My question is so what? How does this help right now? You say a person can do two things at once. Could they be useful things?
makettle.bsky.social
Honestly, l do read most of what you write, and agree with you more than not. I still do not think this is helpful in this moment.

Okay, cool. How about spreading authoritarianism and food scarcity rather than policing speech? A reassessment of priorities may be in order here is all that I am suggesting.

You know that only the friendliest news agencies are allowed in, right? FOX, OAN, Newsmax, etc.

Ho ho! No way, that sounds gross. And suddenly I am 7 yrs old turning my nose up at something my grandma is trying to feed me.

Okay grandpa. 🙄
Something about bigger fish and frying come to mind.

The weakest responses from Tapper here. What is the point of being on the air at all?

A baked bean sandwich. Like beans on toast with extra toast? Would love to see the recipe.

Cool, that isn't what's happening in this thread, but thanks for playing.

So you got nothing but hot air about Dems? Typical prog bs.
makettle.bsky.social
Ummm, not that I recall. Is there a sign? If so I would buy it.

Found the khaki sniffer.

Yes, we almost wipe out humanity to get there. But as far as end results go, I would prefer the Star Trek ending, thank you.
makettle.bsky.social
I was hoping for Star Trek but it looks more like Skynet.

One of the biggest hurdles in domestic violence is that men's aggressive behavior is normalized but is not "normal" or healthy. Women will experience this with most men & be told this is just how men express themselves. Theyre loud, "masculine," dominant. So we accept it at the expense of our nerves
