OK, a little pie-in-the-sky goal here: Any chance we could get Law Dork 549 new subscribers — free or paid — before the new year?
That would give Law Dork 80,000 total subscribers!

She "expressed her perplexity over his intransigence"? Does using haughty language that looks like a quote, but clearly isn't, serve the reader? Did the indefatigable perspicacity lend Ms Greene a soupçon of probity?

RFK Jr is directly responsible for the deaths of 83 children in American Samoa from measles because he told them to stop vaccinating. Now, he's trying to kill trans kids. He's a fucking psychopath.
HHS is trying to force Seattle Children's into doing a Sophie's choice of abandoning trans youth or see kids with cancer or other serious illness have their coverage and care disrupted. That's what this is about.
Hopefully, the courts put a quick stop to this like the subpoenas.

The reaction to this is similar to the reaction I've gotten when I say social media users shouldn't get influencer payouts. It's like the platforms have trained people to think that this is their job or they're making a difference.
Dicking around is a perfectly cromulent use of one's time!

okay somehow this totally banal observation about the relative scale and influence of social media platforms has made some people extremely mad
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.
