I oppose any system where people are put in jail or forcibly “re-educated” for speaking out against or for advocating change to that system. That goes for the US. That goes for China. That goes for Russia and that goes for the Nordics.
I’ve decided to leave. @elonmusk is far too reckless if not deliberately malicious. His layoffs have been cruel and his timing WRT the election is horrific.
I’m not closing my account (in case there’s a huge reversal) but I’m stopping all notifications and deleting the app.

The country has a Jewish president. The governor of one of the regions is Korean. There is a black MP in parliament. Representatives of the Jewish and Muslim communities, but also Nigerians, Afghans or Moroccans fight in their army.
My wife likes dogs. I like cats. We both don’t want to ever have to own a dog.
My wife just now, agreeing with me after watching a video about dogs not wanting to bathe: “Even if it’s T8 you still have to take dogs out to shit!”
Keeper.
Brianna I’m unable to articulate why we can’t invest in Ukraine AND Haiti AND Palestine AND Taiwan AND Palestine AND Syria AND everywhere else that needs help for altruistic reasons.
It should be very clear that she’s pro-Russia.
I wrote a story about nuclear war from the perspective of a Soviet space station and an American shuttle, in 5th grade, in 1981. My Reagan loving Texan class teacher gave me a B- because she said it was “too depressing”. Perfect example of the wilful ignorance Briahna shows here.
Feedback on #AppleMusic, which I generally love:
Stop it with the repeats. I like Led Zeppelin, but I don’t need to hear the same two Zep songs every time I play my station. I don’t need to hear Sagittarius every time. I like other Radiohead songs besides Karma Police.
My company is the greatest company on the planet. Please invest in my company.
Oh and by the way don’t read any news about my company except the news I tell you to read.

In a sense, I do agree. Investing means understanding how the people in these businesses think. And international media will not shed light on that. What sources do you recommend?
LOL @ Elon Musk haggling with Stephen King. 😂😂😂

We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers. How about $8?
But Lula is still light years better than Bolsonaro. He just needs some education on this issue.

Tankies on rapists: "Rapists shouldn’t rape women. But it’s not just rapists who are guilty. Women are also guilty. What are the reasons for rapists to rape? Women wearing short skirts? Then women should just say: 'We won’t wear short skirts.' That would solve the problem."

I've said it before. Sadly, I shall again:
You can either be a respected member of the international community; a powerful, modern nation seated with the adults
Or you can forever scream & cry about long-dead slights & unfairness, & be seated at the child's table
Not both.
In 1900, China was not a threat to any country nor world security and prosperity. In 2022, China is THE threat. This is the logic of some Western politicians. They want to return #China to 1900? The Chinese people will not allow it. Who invaded Beijing, China in 1900?
This would make me so happy!
I’m scared to death that Bolsonaro will pull a Trump, claim election fraud and attempt a coup.

Dave, what kind of diplomatic or pragmatic actions are you referring to? Because I can tell you the easiest one - China stops claiming ownership of Taiwan, and instead focuses on improving its relationship with the Taiwanese.
Elon with an actually decent idea. He probably stole this one too, though.
Replying to @amasad
Good point.
Being able to select which version of Twitter you want is probably better, much as it would be for a movie maturity rating.
The rating of the tweet itself could be self-selected, then modified by user feedback.
