Oh cool Crowder is allowed to continue doing targeted harassment on YouTube very cool happy pride month to you too guys
Not that anyone expected a different result they make too much money on him
They were always going to decide that actually this is just different opinions
 
1:06 AM
@Unionhawk yeh i saw that on the Phillip DeFranco show yesterday and even showed some of the clips from Crowder including a "defense" saying "it's all joking and he promotes himself using the term queer and yet we're not allowed to use it" but you see the tone they use on Crowder which is (to me) mocking
 
Yeah it's all totally cynical
 
1:36 AM
so far Four dead and One injured

@Ash Canada isn't forcing Social Media Account hand over are they?
 
6:38 AM
> I kept hearing that there would be “massive” rallies against me in the UK, but it was quite the opposite. The big crowds, which the Corrupt Media hates to show, were those that gathered in support of the USA and me. They were big & enthusiastic as opposed to the organized flops!
The president of the US just outright denying reality
 
@MadScientist we know he has that surprising power to do so
he probably saw the Trump Baby as something else too
joking aside, should be very concerned. this is how dictators want their media. discredit the truth from non state-controlled media and spout out total lies on their own

Sad :(
Can't they help her, she is so young
 
10:15 AM
@Memor-X Crowder is big huge asshole
 
10:43 AM
@GnomeSlice about the only thing i can think of wouldn't have helped her but would help others like her and that would be more funding into mental illnesses so find how they develop and possible treatments and cures
 
Mental illness is supposed to disqualify them I thought
Plus at 17 a lot can change in the future
I was in a pretty shit spot at 17
 
@GnomeSlice will probably depend on local laws. i would that a doctor has to diagnose the illness as incurable and the suffering to be that great that it's eroding quality of life
 
11:35 AM
@GnomeSlice Note: this isn't euthanasia. A lot of English papers reported this as euthanasia. It's not. They just stopped feeding her
She actually applied for Euthanasia and she was denied, and the parents and doctors together decided to stop force feeding her
twitter.com/nycsouthpaw/status/1136213423593787397 Trump is trying to replace the Kennedy family with his family as the unofficial "royal family" of the USA
@GnomeSlice twitter.com/NaomiOhReally/status/1136189899672084480 is a more thorough explanation of the situation
For example, what your article you linked doesn't mention in the freely available part is that she was raped as a child, and THAT's what caused her depression and anorexia

12:46 PM
@Nzall oh.. still sad
@Nzall I did see that somewhere else after
 
 
2 hours later…
2:29 PM
@Ash they're finally rolling it out? Excellent!
You've been able to get the "X advisory" on the passport for a while, it's good to see they've finally launched the real thing.
 
2:43 PM
@MadScientist He's been doing that for years now though
 
 
2 hours later…
4:17 PM
Dr. William Husel has been charged with 25 counts of murder, following his overdosing of 34 near-death patients with fentanyl at Mount Carmel facilities
 
user15026
@TimStone hoooooly shit
 
There's some quibbling in the comments there about why they aren't calling him a serial killer; the circumstances suggest he was probably euthanizing them?
 
user15026
@ToxicFrog Yep, looks like :)
 
Which is still of course illegal in Ohio and did not involve the wishes of the families
But probably slightly different than the motivations of other serial killers
From what I understand a lot of the patients were in some form of coma and their families had opted to not keep them alive by any means necessary, so…it's a tough one. But doctors can't go around killing people outside the system because they think it's the right course, regardless
God I wish oneboxing wasn't broken
I see Glenn Greenwald is pro-Crowder's sustained YouTube harassment campaign against a gay man, hmmm 🤔
 
4:33 PM
I love being in month 2 of meltdown may
 
Speaking of meltdowns
> “We’ve seen complaints from employees saying they have been told, ‘Don’t question this,’ when they ask about a safety concern, or that they are told, ‘If you don’t feel comfortable that it’s safe, we’ll get the next shift to do it,’ ”
 
oh hey it looks like youtube changed their mind maybe?
is this why glenn is melting down today
 
I think he was at least originally replying to a tweet lamenting their lack of action but I'm not sure
Trump's history of planting stories about the British monarchy for publicity, including one anecdote where he contemplates becoming King of England
 
who would have guessed that glenn is in favor of a guy who is basically tucker carlson on youtube
do not correct me on this I'm not interested in deep analysis of this joke thanks
Oh hey, meanwhile in the 2020 nominee:
 
with any luck this is what makes his campaign go the way of rudy giuliani in 2008
 
user15026
oh good, she was fired - last I heard she was just on admin leave
 
5:08 PM
What a farce we all live in
@Unionhawk lmao I didn't see he was going to bat for Michael Tracey too, over something we stopped talking about like two whole days ago. Amazing
Also the FBI vault has released its files on Bigfoot, lol
 
@TimStone as one does
 
5:32 PM
"Hahah it's not insider trading because they're European betting markets!" is uhhh a defense…That Jacob Wohl would use. Yeah, this checks out
 
 
1 hour later…
6:56 PM
@Unionhawk They actually ignored Crowder and tried to distract from that by deleting a bunch of other bad stuff
Except now they've demonetized his videos too
For being in violation of the partner program terms of service
 
Also it's unclear if this new policy will actually be enforced, since the old one sure isn't
This really does read like something mostly unrelated that they shat out in an ultimately counterproductive attempt to distract from the Crowder thing
 
@TimStone nice
 
The decision to demonetize after the fact is kind of extra dumb because no one was asking for that due to it being largely irrelevant to the issue
Like he's still going to be running videos and selling his merchandise
 
including a $99 annual subscription to blaze tv
or whatever
 
For the mug
So this is extremely "Middle Ground that Appeases No One"
 
7:04 PM
it'll probably please exactly like, 3 people yeah
 
Sleeping Giants is claiming that YouTube actually did it because several advertisers didn't want to show up there but I'm not sure how they would know beyond that the advertisers complained?
 
They've managed to exactly hit that sweet spot of "will give Crowder ammunition for saying he's being oppressed without materially affecting him or in any way addressing the actual issue", so, uh, gj youtube?
 
Yeah it's the perfect middle ground for a few people to be like "see they are doing good things while maintaining an Open Platform", and then everyone else to either say "youtube doesn't care about enforcing policies against harassment", or "I am being censored for my conservative views, no not those views haha"
 
Still having a hard time processing how bad this DeBlassio tweet is
 
7:11 PM
I mean
it's a dumb joke
but he isn't wrong somehow
 
Imagine being faced with Joe Biden and having nothing better to respond with than the most ill-concieved pun?
Yeah but it's the dumbest road to get there
 
I have been informed that he is Mostly Wrong Actually
but whatever E for effort F for failure I guess
can't win em all
 
It depends on how deep you read into it but the easiest solution is to just not make the attempt, lol
 
To be fair there is no way he wrote that
 
Like Biden being pro-Hyde is bad enough without Got 'Em
@Unionhawk Dictated not read
 
7:14 PM
hm
yeah actually that's probably right
with some staffer like "that's a good post sir"
 
You know he's just in the car saying shit telling his aides to workshop it
lol Rahm is joining a boutique investment bank on Wall Street, of course
 
these corporate elites need to answer for their crimes and that is why I am joining them in doing crimes
and why I helped them get away with it in 2009
I sure hope this ends joe
honestly
 
like if you're getting owned by bill deblasio
it's probably time to go home
 
7:45 PM
@Unionhawk lmao wow it's even dumber than I realised?
They'll remonetize him if he removes the links to his t-shirts
Which they will presumably still be fine with the existence of so long as he just doesn't link to them
 
Ford government to cap public sector wage increases at 1% annually
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/pc-government-wage-cap-1.5163753
 
@Wipqozn Soooo not enough to keep up with inflation, fun.
 
> Fewer than half of fathers take all the paternity leave on offer while most men still see changing diapers as a woman’s job, according to a report on Wednesday that highlighted how the wage gap between men and women starts at home.
> Another study in the report found the majority of men in 15 out of 20 countries said changing diapers, bathing and feeding children was a woman’s job, a view held by more than 80 percent of men in Egypt, India, Pakistan, Moldova, Nigeria and Mali.
> The 2018 Global Gender Gap Report, released by the World Economic Forum (WEF), estimates it will take 202 years for economic equality between men and women to be achieved.
> “It’s an unspoken thing that if I take leave, then I am not demonstrating that I’m 100 percent dedicated to the mission of this organization and to my responsibility,” said Jane Kato-Wallace, program director at Promundo, explaining the results.
And, as we all know, our only purpose in life is to help the rich get richer.
> In Egypt, 98% of men said [changing diapers and feeding and bathing children] were [jobs] for women, followed by 92% in Mali and 89% in Nigeria.
> A report set to be released Tuesday by Canadians for Clean Prosperity, an environmental think-tank, found that Ontario’s climate change policies would be 59 per cent more costly for businesses and households in 2022 compared with Ottawa’s carbon tax. That figure would fall to 50 per cent more expensive by 2030.
> Much of the additional costs would be passed down to consumers, the report said, raising annual household expenses in Ontario by an average $80 in 2022, rising to $154 in 2030.
 
@TimStone "can you make this guy stop harassing me" "no" "well, we'll stop paying him to do it until he stops linking to his shirt shop is that ok"
 
SURPRISE! The conservatives objections are that Carbon Tax will "hurt" the rich (by making them pay their fair share)
> Critics of the Ontario policy have also pointed out that Premier Doug Ford’s plan to raise the portion of ethanol in gasoline to 15 per cent, up from a 10 per cent blend, also threatens to raise pump prices by weakening the energy output of gasoline.

@fredley Well that's certainly a new low
Speaking of which, been hearing a lot more about sex trafficking in Canada. It's great and not at all horrifying.
Nova Scotia is a target for a lot of it, and then they're shipped off elsewhere. Truro has a rescue shelter, which is good.
 
Bloomberg has an opinion piece about Well, Actually, Americans can afford a $400 expense if they take on more debt or don't pay for their other bills which uhhh is not really a point worth making?
A fireworks factory and Definitely Not Aliens has exploded in Roswell
 
10:30 PM
@TimStone "Most Americans can take a bullet to the face, so long as they don't plan to survive
 
@Wipqozn This likely has to do with the godawful compensation received for parental leave.
It's like EI; pays peanuts, and caps out at a rather low level.
 
user15026
10:57 PM
@Frank well, that only deals with the men not taking the leave, not the assumptions that all the care should be done by the women
 
@Ash My wife and I are thinking about starting a family, and that is our primary concern; she plans on quitting on focusing on her writing and art.
 
user15026
@Frank I'm not sure what you mean, what's your primary concern?
 
The minimal pay.
It seems to punish those that want to take time off to bond with their children.
 
user15026
It frustrates me that we can't seem to find any sort of equitable way to support families but then, well, gestures to current government in their province, shrugs
 
11:27 PM
@TimStone Twitter was a mistake
