It Isn’t Your Imagination: Twitter Treats Conservatives More Harshly Than Liberals (link Feb 2019 article) A June, 2018 Pew poll found that 72% of Americans believe that social media companies censor views they don’t like, with members of the public being four times more likely to report a belief that such institutions favor liberals over conservatives than the opposite. Of 22 prominent, politically active individuals who are known to have been suspended since 2005 and who expressed a preference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, 21 supported Donald Trump. Only one was a Clinton supporter Are prominent Trump supporters more likely to break neutrally applied social media terms of service agreements than other voters? Perhaps. But are they four or more times as likely? That doesn’t seem credible.

There should be a badge that represents peddlers of misinformation. After being caught in five Pinocchios, you get permabadged. Better, every politician can start with the 'liars' badge and a few might earn a truthful badge over time.

Dean Heil and RBY come to mind...

The purpose of the balk rule is to prevent the pitcher from deceiving the runner. The pitcher can do about anything when no runner is on base to deceive.

Who is the Nestor Cortes of ... Wrestlers Wrestling Coaches Wrestling Commentary Intermat Forum Members Note: Nestor delays his windup, fast pitches, changes his arm slot, and performs other funk to disrupt the batter's timing. It is entertaining and effective.

I love it so long as its a '2-for-1' order to reduce bias. Get rid of CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News.

Can California afford a single toilet? Cra-zy!

The fact that you and I both saw that in our twitter feeds is evidence that Twitter is better.

This seemed like a terribly short-sighted decision on paper, and that was before taking the revenue hit with lost ad services. Twitter cut 1 billion in salary expenses to reduce the bleeding. However, the unemployment and severance payments will keep high expenses rolling longer. If his goal was to balance the political bias, he is already winning. It is hard to imagine him becoming profitable enough to earn his money back, but a stock market recovery in the four years post-2024 (assuming no Brandon), membership growth/fees, and increased ad service could do it.

One of the biggest surprises was Dom Bradley getting handled by a guy that looked half his size.

Toxic members and BS news companies are quitting, the bias is balancing, activity is up, and I can see tweets there were suppressed before. Trump's account was reinstated. I think about good character often. However, I cannot help to be giddy for meltdowns in 5, 4, 3, 2, ...

I like that Gable Energy where Dan calls stalling in front of Dan's statue calling stalling.

Regulation is spot on with the majority of people's desire. The media would like you to believe that 10 out of 10 republicans want abortion to be illegal in every case. It's a lie packaged to influence votes. Pew Survey (link) 7 in 10 U.S. adults believe in regulating abortion 2 in 10 U.S. adults say that abortion should be legal in all cases, with no exceptions. 1 in 10 U.S. adults say abortion should be illegal in every case, without exception.

That was not the sponsor's goal, according to their FAQ. https://valuethemboth.com/faqs/ Multiple women in my extended family/friends circle (wrongly) posted that the law was a ban on abortion. They were snookered; even those against late-term abortion. But they didn't read the details... My personal experience in Kansas might be different than yours.

(◞‸◟) Not all ectopic pregnancies are tubal, and babies have survived. 2013 (link) 2005 (link) 1968 (link) Agreed. Only stupid people disagree. Thankfully these people are few and far between. Read it again where I say, " it is a woman’s right to choose her immediate physical survival first." Planned Parenthood says (link) that ectopic pregnancy treatment is not the same as getting an abortion. The Arkansas law (bill link) says it is not an abortion to remove an ectopic pregnancy. Several doctors define an ectopic pregnancy treatment as losing the unborn baby as an effect of the mother's treatment. (See Dr Kendra Kolb's short video). @Mike Parrish (◞‸◟)

Nah dog the majority agrees with some regulation https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2022/05/06/americas-abortion-quandary/

I don’t know what you are arguing about. Many doctors take the position that I described and I support the treatment.

I follow the thinking that the dr performs an ectopic procedure with the goal to save the life of the mother and the unborn. The unborn normally dies from the procedure and the mother is normally saved. This is different than an abortion where the intent is to kill the unborn. Regardless of the intent behind how the unborn dies, it is a woman’s right to choose her immediate physical survival first.

I cannot comprehend that anyone believes it is a women's right to choose to kill a healthy, viable baby with the dismemberment procedure known as Dilation and Evacuation. There damn well should be some regulation concerning the nuanced situation where abortion is tolerable.

For clarity, women could still get abortions in Kansas regardless of whether the amendment passed or failed. And that is not what the media told us.

The people in the media, phone texts, and my Facebook community stated the vote was to ban abortion (the lie) when it was about allowing lawmakers in the state to regulate abortion.

Err... meant for my comments to be on the young voters are stupid discussion. See, I'm stupid too!

The post is about young people being stupid for voting Democrat. And it's funny because the Democrats also call young people stupid while pandering to them. I call bullshit both ways and vote for who I think is best rather than on party lines. This economy sucks, and it impacts everyone I know. Stupid people are talking about stupid things that are not an immediate priority (trans kids) and believing lies that global comprehensive abortion laws will be here tomorrow. These young people think Republicans are stealing their rights while ignoring that the Democrats are the vax fanatics that restricted everybody in the nation. I didn't vote forever because what does it matter when I'm in a state like Kansas that always votes red? But my vote matters, and I vote.

Democrats are peaceful! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_4FluN2Wsk) Democrats accept election results! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6qJCCg45Ow) It keeps going The CIA is behind the crack epidemic in the nation's inner cities George W. Bush knew about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in advance. (35% of Democrats believed versus 12% of Republicans) The Republican campaign engineered a delay in Iran's 1980 release of American hostages to win the presidency. The tit-for-tat is stupid.

The media lies have a substantial influence on young women voting behavior. While most people agree that abortion should be situationally legal, the media would have women believe that the evil Republicans will issue a comprehensive ban. The lies are so effective that in states like Kansas, where abortion is legal, even Republican women believed they were losing their rights. When the media generates a shitstorm about tiny percentages, stupid people do what stupid people do.
