Hello Ms. $5.......uhhhhh.....Ms. Dye! (please excuse my slip there.)

I have deeply missed you at that mommy blog. SO much sadness!

So I think I have subscribed to you this morning. Has it worked? I am old and sometimes my tech skills don't work so hot.

Whoa! wait a sec! I am non-commenting here!

Nice! I think it worked!

Keep on keeping on Ms. Dye!

>>> You cannot make me call it X.

Same! Twitter is a good name, both highly recognized and unambiguous.

Er... Elon, may I refer you to "The Mismeasure of Man" by the late Stephen Jay Gould. Excellent book. Among other things, it will show you the fallacy of equating brain size with intelligence, and also lead you through the racist history of all the pseudo-scientists who thought different.

Absolutely - it’s simple math. Since we only use a small fraction of our brain capacity, a smart person with a small head may use a larger “volume” of her brain than a stupid person with a huge head (Matt Gaetz, I’m looking at you).

I left Xittr when thus suit was announced. Could write at some length as to why. Broadly/briefly: if you attack an organization of this nature, you have shown me all too clearly what you are.

In a SLAPP suit, doesn’t the SLAPPee get to claim costs from the SLAPPer? Otherwise what would be the point of acknowledging the frivolousness of the suit, if the defendant still gets sunk by lawyers’ fees?

"Once again, the process is the punishment."

A lesson learned from any and all organized religion.

I abandoned Twitter/X the day after Elongated Musk allowed Andrew Anglin back on. Haven’t looked back.

As they should have. Elon has been taking lessons from Trump.
