Political Levitas

While the Twitterverse rantings of anti-Trump and anti-Biden types are amusing [and a bit unsettling], I doubt that social media, in general, and Twitter, in particular, are representative of the general population.

The former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, recently described social media an "idi*t amplifier".

As this is Levitas, I'll add my own joke, that Twitter is the 21st century analogy of an 18th century asylum for the insane. The only difference being that today commitment is entirely voluntary. That anyone would think it worthwhile to take Twitter opinions seriously is a bit of a mystery to me - it is like deciding on policy based on canvassing the views of asylum inmates.

Okay, enough monolouging, back to humour.

Triple thumbs up!

Yep, after 60 plus years, I've yet to live anywhere in America that reflects the opinions of the social media herd or the MSM.

Big question is, does social media cause insanity, or simply expose insanity?

To be safe, I only view Napster's twitter posts thru the prophylactic mask of OTNOT....

Excellent summary and a great illustration of how politics is the never ending pursuit of mutually exclusive goals.

Politics. -n.

A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.

Why is everyone thinking plywood, and no one thinking Boobytraps, landmines, and Constantine wire?

Have we learned nothing from watching decades of Zombie movies?

We are missing great opportunities for documentary sequels to the Home Alone Christmas movie series.
