Seeing an uptick in new, fascist-aligned accounts on here, and some of you dolts are interacting with them enough to get them on the Discover feed.
Bad poster. No donut.
Block, block, block, and move on. Do not interact. Deprive them of the enraged reactions they crave, and they’ll go away.

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

UX designers -- don't do this, and don't allow the underlying data structure to force you to do this. You can escape characters, and I fucking guarantee you that people are far more expert about what their actual goddamn name is than you are.

For some reason, NYT decided to send me a push notification for this article today, which is just a huge leopard-themed shot/chaser moment.
