I never liked Twitter much in the first place. It is, as some wag said, a billion dollar company that should have been an RFC.

But it has been interesting and instructive to watch it destroy itself and to continue to do so. The same with Mozilla, though more sad in that case.

Twitter’s main strengths are now being removed chasing a larger audience that will simply never exist. Capitalism and its growth-at-any-cost prerogative eliminates as many possibilities as it provides.

But no one ever looks at opportunity cost because it can’t be easily quantified.

This woman — Jen Thompson — benches 303 pounds at a 132 pound bodyweight.

That is damn amazing. When I was at my most fit, I weighed around 170 pounds and had a hell of a time reliably benching 225 pounds.

To me, what she does is way more impressive than when some 350 pound guy benches 400 pounds.

When people say that the United States is a “nation of immigrants” to support open borders and other shameful policies, that is a true statement.

What is also true that this “nation of immigrants” eradicated somewhere between 2 million and 40 million people who were here well before any of us.

So I am not sure what sort of great lesson I am supposed to take from this “nation of immigrants” crap?

This article is exceedingly stupid and easily disproven by history.

But I’ll let my readers discover where he pulls the old switcheroo. It’s pretty obvious after some thought, but Ridley — whom I’ve read before — is a good writer and so as befits any skilled rhetorician it’s hard to look behind his curtain of deceit.
