When will politicians act to protect people from these robot cars and guns that act without human agency? They could start by banning cop shops from using them, since a disproportionate number of the autonomous objects belong to them. https://t.co/9Rbx7y1xIa

Getting people to feel self-conscious and ashamed for using ordinary words and figures of speech is one of the greatest triumphs of modern puritanism. https://t.co/5OJNGVHGYw

So here's a glimpse at how my mind works. I'm about to wrap a present that came in an Amazon box. The sealing tape from Amazon is emblazoned with the legend, "Wow, now that's a gift." So I cut off the last three words and replaced them with "brown cow" before wrapping it. 😂

I wish the women worried about abortion access right now had thought about this while supporting State power to control women's bodies for the past 50 years.
Legal precedent has power. Empowering the government to harm women you hate also empowers it to harm YOU.

Making guns objects of worship is just as deranged, primitive, and silly as making them into folk devils.
They're tools, not political props. It's as pathological to worship or fear them as it would be to worship or fear electric drills, mixers, bumper jacks, or hair dryers.

Trying to defend one civil right or liberty you DO like by attacking a different one you DON'T like, doesn't make you a champion of rights; it makes you a useful idiot for the undermining of ALL rights, including the one you believe you're defending.

What *I* want to know is, why do so many people use the word "progressive" without actually knowing what it means, or what policies "progressives" have historically favored? https://t.co/Y40RIaGy5f

Seriously. "Santa Claus is Coming To Town" is the most libertarian Christmas special ever made; the main villain is a politician who makes stupid prohibitionist laws & he declares young Santa a criminal. It's truly awesome.

Nowhere is the American ignorance of history more visible than in the pronouncements of people who really believe that nobody had to work to survive before the invention of capitalism.
