No shit, I got that from the hard R.

She could also just have been extremely racist.

Let's keep the distinction. So we can turn the racists against the fascists.

I treat people who have twitter accounts the same as I would someone who chain smokes in public areas: you're part of the mesh that prevents the substrate for nice things to exist.

Hopefully it's as much of collective social stigma as smoking is soon.

Unclear analogy - is the substrate going through the mesh the process of nice things existing? Maybe I'm thinking of substrate in a chemical sense rather than biological, or I'm just cooked. Is the mesh some sort of filter that allows bacteria to grow on the substrate (host)?

It might be because “Lilly” it’s Twitter verified, not because of the context.

And look at how much more engagement it got. Not that it should show that either, it’s such a perverse incentive.

I don’t know which is worse TBH, and I wish Twitter was erased from all their devices.

Wish people would just stop using Twitter.

Shit like this makes me wonder what it would actually take to convince people to stop

Reminds me of the excellent book and documentary "coded bias"

People, please stop using twitter. Stop giving your attention and money to terrible people. Some people, like that white lady, are weak-minded and they will never learn.

This — why are people even still there? Get off it, full stop.

No surprise nowadays.

I really thought all this free speech nonsense was because they wanted to be free to be rude.

Really didn’t think it was that hypocritical that only some people can be rude…

Saying all speech is okay is something I can kind of respect, this isn’t it.

When someone says all speech should be free, there's usually a hidden subtext of "speech that I like"
