Depends on how reprehensible the behavior was.
Mel Gibson? Hard pass, till the end of time.
Will Smith? Eh, I still enjoy Hancock, and I'll watch it again if I want to.
I have no idea. I see them and marvel that this piece of entertainment I just watched goes so many different places.
Twitter is the NYT native environment. I dropped my subscription in 2017, when they covered Nazis:
Look! They pay their bills! They go to work! They watch TV! Nazis are just like us! But they're Nazis!
The kompromat is strong with this one. Lindsey is afraid it'll get leaked.
Why does Lindsey Graham always seem on the verge of tears? Why is there so much terror in his voice? And what's with the look of utter desperation in those bleary, bloodshot eyes of his?

Howdy #mastodon, I'm Crag!
Making a new introduction post for this instance.
I'm a washed up roleplayer and science nerd. I sometimes do mildly interesting and educational things related to VR, roleplay and VRChat. Finding various ways to escape reality from my engineering day job. xd

βοΈLittle experiment in my internet&politics course today: for the final examπ, I have given the students an answer by #ChatGPT to a question we have seen in class and they have now 1h to write a short essay π»correcting and completing it!π€weβll see how it goes!
I don't recall.
On the advice of counsel, I plead the 5th.
Former US Vice President Pence will not appeal a judgeβs ruling and will comply with the subpoena as required by law to testify before the grand jury investigating former President Trumpβs effort to subvert #Election2020.

President of #Ukraine and the Prime Minister of #Poland in Warsaw signed a Letter of Intent to cooperate on the supply of defense equipment
The purpose is to ensure constant support and strengthening of the defense capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine through the acquisition by Ukraine of Polish defense equipment, in particular Rosomak armored personnel carriers, Rak self-propelled mortars and missiles for Piorun man-portable air-defense systems.

Do you *really* want to dress for work in clothes your boss picked out for you?
@cstross I live in Norway; socialism is the air I breathe π
Weβve got most of the same underlying issues of modern democracy yet to be solved over here as well (money in politics, no ranked-choice voting, billionaires, overconsumption..), but at least weβre long past debating whether or not the job of the state is to keep its citizens educated, healthy and safe.
**** Elon's Soviet style post-event alteration of Twitter policy to attack NPR ****
Let's be clear what just happened. Elon Musk apparently was unhappy about at least one NPR story. So he arbitrarily slapped NPR with the "state affiliated media" label usually reserved for propaganda outlets under government editorial control like Russia's RT and the Chinese Communist Party newspaper. NPR only gets a tiny percentage of its funding from the government, which conservatives have long been trying to zero out completely. Voice of America, BBC, and "Stars and Stripes" are not so designated, despite being under government editorial control.
Worse, Elon *retroactively* moved after the fact to specifically remove NPR from the section of Twitter policy that explained that outlets like BBC and NPR were not considered to be government-affiliated media.
He continues to respond to official queries with a poop emoji.
No media organization or advertiser is safe dealing with him. Nor is the U.S. government. End these relationships as quickly as practicable, before you regret being in bed with his twisted sensibilities.
Just a brief reminder for those who are looking into autism-related resources that Autism $peaks is not to be trusted. Their whole philosophy is one of trying to "cure" autism, and "correct" autistic children who behave in any neurodiverse way.
Instead, look at resources like ASAN (Autism Self-Advocacy Network) or similar organizations that work to *advocate* for autistic individuals, rather than make people *aware* of them.
