Come on man. The reason advertisers are aborting twatter is because Elmo is catering to and amplifying Nazis and crackpots. They don’t want guilt by association brand degradation. It’s just that simple. The definition of a Nazi or a crackpot is driven entirely by whatever Master Narrative one subscribes to. Radical hardcore fascist right wingers have the audacity to say that men can't get pregnant. Crackpot science deniers had the audacity to question the 3.4% IFR that the WHO attached to COVID at the outset based on a denominator that assumed only 88,000 people in China had The Germ when they did the calculation. I would never tell anyone not to take a vaccine, but I personally am not going to line up to take some shit that Pfizer tested for 12 weeks and concluded was "95% effective" at preventing recipients from catching The Germ on the basis of 170 observations because I was blessed to receive a solid data science education at Drake that helped me to understand what "statistical significance" means. Trying to explain that to a 96 IQ layman would be a waste of time, so it's just easier to go with the "experts" and "consensus." Truth is irrelevant, all that matters is "consensus." Consensus defined by an amorphous blob. Hell, I'll bet that if Twitter existed in 1986 and Allan McDonald tweeted "I have a theory that it is too cold to launch the shuttle this morning because the rubber o-rings that hold the boosters together shrank and it will explode on the launchpad" he would have instantly been deemed wrong by "experts" and that the Twitter mob would have spiked the football the second it got off the pad. "Challenger, go with throttle up..." You're a smart man, you understand that on some level our society is not that different from the shuttle program pre-Challenger explosion, hurtling along on the basis of some near miraculous scientific breakthroughs and sheer luck creating an ever-growing sense of hubris among the practitioners of "the science." I get whatever vaccines my doctor tells me to get. Happily.

Any white person who has fled South Africa in the past 3, maybe 4, decades has a far more bona fide claim to asylum than probably at least 99% of people who have entered this country in the past 24 months. The vast majority of the flow right now is economic migrants, and I don't fault them, but they are not asylees or "refugees" as the news would have you believe.
