When these politicians say stuff like this, usually you can go back and find some huge lie that they've said. I always want to ask: "what punishment are you willing to accept today for your misinformation and disinformation?"
Oddly enough, that doesn't seem like they thought that far ahead.

Before Musk bought Twitter I ran a small test: I searched hashtag killallblacks and then hashtag killallwhites.
The former was all about how bad it would be if someone said that. The latter was about how good it would be if someone did it.
Considering the state of Twitter at the time, the only conclusion I can come to is that those were all the acceptable opinions.

You could probably cut bikini sales by quite a lot just by making sure to post a picture of the guy who invented the bikini on every one. "This guy designed what you're about to put on to look sexy at the beach"
There are lots of five out of 10 anime that I really enjoyed. I haven't watched that anime yet, because I think I'm still reading the light novel series. Between everything I feel like my reading has dropped off I should probably get back on that.
I always think back to the mid-2000s when it turned out that the United States was pursuing an official policy of torture.
At that time, rather than accept that torture is evil and not something that liberal democracy should be doing, they just double down. "Yeah we tortured people, and it was the right thing to do and we would do it again."
Shockingly, it worked. Nobody really seems to care anymore that the government tortures people or violates Fourth amendment rates en masse, or does any of the things that they do. Things like MK Ultra turn out to be true and responsible for radicalizing homegrown US terrorists like the Unabomber, and that doesn't seem even worth the discussion.
I feel like if anyone was really in danger we'd be seeing that taking place, a huge campaign to minimize the damage that occurred and effectively turn it into background noise. It's all just political games at this point. Nobody thinks they're really in danger on either side of the political spectrum, they're just hoping to score some points before the ride stops.

It's like "I like the internet, but why is it a global internetwork? Seems like a waste"
That's it's raison d'etre. Without federation, there is no fediverse, and without a fediverse it's just another Twitter clone.

I've been very consistent on this: Canada's greatest renewable resource is hydroelectric, and it's a resource we should be developing anywhere it's practical.
Living in Manitoba was pretty interesting because the hydroelectric meant the electricity was cheap enough you didn't really hurt if you were using electric to heat your home. Of course, we would need to stop importing a million people per year. At the end of the day you import all these people who need to not die of cold in the winter, eventually you're only option is fossil fuels.

I know a guy who had electric heat in his house. His monthly electric bill was almost $1000. He installed a propane furnace and the season cost as much as one month. He paid for the install with the difference immediately.
I like how we used to have paper cups and plastic straws, now we have plastic cups and paper straws.
Of course, the worse dating advice in human history includes things like "go outside" and "be yourself".
What sort of list isn't going to have a Dodge Grand caravan that'll definitely die on you before your payments are up?
The Republicans would be smart to point out just how much money is being spent on healthcare in the US compared to countries that have single payer systems, and keep on pushing the fact that the Democrats had a supermajority in the Senate, as well as the presidency the house and the supreme Court at the time that the current regime was created.
2000 text messages per day.
That's over 86 per hour. Over one per minute if one was texting 24 hours a day.
There's no two ways around it -- this lady's cray cray. That's not normal. I wouldn't expect a woman texting Brad Pitt in his prime to be sending 2000 text messages a day. I wouldn't expect a woman texting Robert Pattinson immediately after Twilight came out to be sending 2000 messages per day. That's acting on a compulsion that shows a total breakdown of self-control at a basic level. Not only could she not inhibit this obviously bad behavior, but she kept on returning to it again and again and again over such a long period of time.
She can cry all she wants in court, but anyone who's been on the receiving end of that level of nuts knows it changes a man (or in this case, a boy) forever. You never forget that feeling of being hunted by a rabid animal who just wants to express pure unfiltered id. "I am going to take what I want whenever I want even if it means you can't even touch your phone anymore because it's beeping all day every day with my insane messages. I don't care about you or the consequences." -- you probably don't see messages from your friends and family anymore, because your notifications are filled up and your phone is constantly buzzing, and so when you're facing constant notifications the system is basically useless. That has social and practical consequences.
