My favorite ad recently was accounting advice for pastors, the tag line was actually along the lines of “is your bookkeeping serving Christ?”

I think liberals struggle with this; they tend to either want to treat dangerous and bigoted ideas as too explosive to handle or acknowledge, or they engage with them as a kind of logical abstraction to be debated. Don't do either: say they're bad, they're gross, but don't hide.— Will Stancil (@whstancil) February 20, 2024
this is obviously the approach Stancil has been taking over the last few weeks by endlessly arguing with the 'race science' IQ difference people, but this seems like the worst of all worlds? You're engaging with them, so helping spread their ideas to people who might not otherwise have seen them, but also refusing to actually debate them or make an argument about why they're wrong, so providing more fodder for them to claim that they're being persecuted for "just asking questions". What good is Stancil's method of engaging with these guys actually doing anyone except the racists (and maybe Stancil himself)?

he could have stopped with “don’t engage with them” since he has enough followers to just quote-tweet them once with “this is just eugenics” and walk away

Well it's out there now! Yep, I'm running for Minnesota House District 61A. More info very soon.

I like Ganz but his "I got too high" tweet was really just begging for it. NEVER POST ABOUT CANNABIS, you will be swarmed by bud bros.

Belly was made as a drug substitute. It's the methadone of movies.

Same goes for watching Belly, probably.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 22 February 2024 17:11 (seven months ago) link
I have seen Belly the band but not the movie. Good show, but it was shortened by thunder and lightning, because it was an outdoor show. Maybe good that I hadn't smoked a blunt.

every time I look at Twitter these days, I'm struck by how much the presence of blue-check subscribers has degraded the experience. I know this point has been made many times before, but reading replies to any semi-popular tweet now is painful. is the subscription revenue really worth it?

I think racism has become worse on the political edges of American society, which makes it more virulent and impactful to POC and women. People can come on @X and other platforms, remain anonymous, and find common ground with other racists, homophobes, anti-semites etc that… https://t.co/isT8A0PXVP— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) February 26, 2024

His take is simple, but tweets are like that. It's not like he got it badly wrong. otoh, he's a white multi-billionaire and a publicity hog who loves to hear himself talk, so for him it's like having an opinion about dolphins or the price of wheat.

not defending stancil but he's the opposite of a milkshake duck, right? he's a full-time poster who is venturing into the real world, not a viral sensation whose fame sheds light on embarrassing and unsavory ideas/opinions.

Around 2003 in Chile, when the original trilogy of Star Wars began airing on television there, they did this funny thing to avoid cutting to commercial breaks. They stitched the commercials into the films themselves. Here is one of them, with the English dub added in. pic.twitter.com/wC7N2vPNvv— Windy 🛸 (@heyitswindy) March 2, 2024

It's either fascist collaboration or not. Delete your account and disappear for good, don't minimise it.
