I will no longer be posting on this account. This is because Elon Musk has made this site unpleasant to use and because I do not want to be associated with his product. Thank you all for years of community, laughs, music, and learning.

I'm usually the biggest fan of @restisents and often find I'm persuaded by their intelligent and informed takes.
