Milo Yiannopolous "Permanently Banned" from Twitter for Calling a Lady Ghostbuster a "Dude"
Or something. He got into it with Leslie Something or Other (I'm not going to learn her name; she's a non-entity) and after she called him racist he went into his standard schtick that he can't be racist, given all the black penises he's entertained.
(Yeah that gets kind of old. But it's not racist.) She sassed him again he said something like "rejected by a black dude." See, she's a large woman, and not very feminine-looking. So he got banned for "racism" or something. How was that racism? Apparently some of his followers did hector her with more racially edgy stuff -- so is that Twitter's policy now? that if your followers say something untoward, you get banned? Why does it seem likely to me this is a special rule meant only for conservatives? I should note the obvious here: This isn't just about anti-conservative bias (though it is that, obviously). It's also about Twitter's entire business model. Twitter's entire business model is falsely selling users on the idea that they're at a great big online party where they can mingle with celebrities! ergo, celebrities must be protected like the dainty little queefs they are. But this whole salespitch is, of course, a lie. Celebrities, by and large, aren't on twitter to talk to the hoi polloi. They're there to impersonally plug their projects. Many celebrities aren't really on twitter at all; they just have assistants tweeting for them. I've only talked to four celebrities on Twitter, and I knew all of them independently of Twitter. All my time on Twitter, zero additional celebrity contacts made through twitter. Okay, I "met" one celebrity. He followed me out of the blue -- I wasn't following him -- and I asked why on earth he'd followed me, and he said he thought I was funny. I had three back and forth interactions with him of about thirty words altogether. Yeah it was cool. But... one time in nine years. It's not like we're friends now. And for all I know he followed me randomly and then, out of simple tact, claimed he'd followed me because he thought I was funny. So that's it. In nine years on Twitter, exactly one -- 1 -- celebrity reached out to me that I didn't already know. And I'm relatively famous -- at least compared to most twitter users. So what are the odds the average Twitter user is going to strike up a conversation with Allison Brie or Hugh Jackman or whoever? Zero. Zero percent. And yet it's this fiction they sell their sad users (and it was this fiction that drew me in), so they have to protect the celebrities who are themselves pretending to actually be on Twitter so that they can have some free advertising. Twitter is a stupid lie selling the illusion of access to celebrities, and the phantasmal promise that you are just one tweet away from being Discovered, that is packaged and sold to lonely people, hungry for any kind of acknowledgement beyond the four walls of their apartment that they really exist.Comments

My son's vet group loves Milo and wanted to invite him to speak on their campus, but campus security said the BLM group and various SJW's might cause trouble.
The vets said they'd be perfectly able to provide security for Milo, but the school still said no. So their group is hoping to find an off-campus venue, if they can get Milo here.

Well, I was always told that if I bought the car I would get the girl. That didn't work either.
I was also told that it was my civic duty to be informed, and to make the case for good public policy. So far, that hasn't worked.
I was told to go to college, get an education, work hard, and I would make lots of money. Still waiting on that.
Somewhere on the road to financial freedom, I got lost, left behind, and left for dead. It's too late for me now. The rest of all y'all shouldn't believe any of this.

I've been buying them from a local farmer, but he hasn't been out lately because of afternoon storms.
I tried heating a couple of under-ripe peaches in the oven, and it worked like a charm. They're baking in a wonderful cream cheese poundcake with blueberries as I type. And the house smells wonderful.
Sending the cake as a birthday gift to 92 y.o. MIL with husband and son tomorrow.

I really didn't understand much of it since it was full of code words, dog whistles, and cultural reference of which I am not familiar. I don't run in those circles, so I didn't get much of it.
But it appears that one must be prepared for confrontation if you do not abide with the groupthink. Ypu have to hate the people the mob hates, and you have to love the people the mob loves, and you have to bow down on bended knee and worship the right Gods, or hellfire and brimstone will rain down upon you and you might even get banned.

I always liked Ace and others attacks on the liberal trash out there. It meant other liberal trash saw the same. It helped other conservatives to coalesce too.
It's another form of Breitbart attacks. In their face.

Oh, poor kitty. Gel in the ear sounds much easier than an injection. Bless you for taking such good care of your kitty.
My cat doesn't like the flea medicine that you put on their necks. I've only had to use it once, she hid for 2 days and wouldn't let me touch her. If I get water on her back she acts like I've burned her with acid.

She's suddenly developed an allergy to her hyperthyroid gel. Like I'm putting acid inside her little ears.

Frankly, great speechifying by proffessional speakers, reading proffessionally written texts, at a political convention isn't working for me.
Posted by: Mystified in Mystic at July 20, 2016 07:29 PM (CDpC4)
Yeah, I was about to say something about that. I haven't watched any of it so far. Speechifying just doesn't do it for me. Maybe if candidates wrote their own speeches like Lincoln, I might be inclined to pay attention.
But what good do speeches at a political convention, or a place like CPAC, do? Who listens other than those already inclined to agree? Who is persuaded by them?
Take the greatest political speech of my lifetime, Reagan's "A Time for Choosing" speech in 1964. Who did it persuade? Goldwater lost by a landslide. I think speeches are overrated.
I'm not judging anyone who likes to watch speeches, of course.

Apparently Charles deems this an unprecedented break with tradition and decorum - saying such a thing about a major party nominee-to-be.
Also apparently, Charles is completing his transformation into a standard-issue Beltway airhead, as he fails to recognize that in the modern era the more important new precedent is a major party nominee who is obviously guilty of multiple felonies pertaining directly to her public office and the nation's integrity and national security.
Isn't it amazing, though? Here we are, just a few weeks past what stands as one of the signal downward steps in the erosion of our country's unique and precious tradition of the rule of law.

Speaking of scum, I give you Azealia Banks. She thinks Obozo is too hard on #BLM, wants a president who isn't afraid to kill people for what he believes in.

Protestor lit himself on fire, thus proving, yet again, that fire is a dangerous tool. Permits should be required for using fire. Standardized testing procedures to show the protestor is qualified to handle fire. Why, he could have burned down Cleveland.
We need fire control. Especially in the big cities where an out of control fire could leave hundreds of people homeless.

I worked for them. Helped them to refine many of the features they've implemented over the last few years. That work dried up about a year ago because they're in trouble.

If you're the one the suggested they go to a "Load more" format on their pages you need to have your legs broken. That sort of thing is crap and I hate that its on youtube as well. Give me actual pages so if I want to get a few years back on someone's stream I'm not bogged down because I need to have 3,000 things viewable just to find an item from April 2014.

But as far as celebrity interaction, Drew Carey and I once argued over a soccer game.
So that's basically all.
I walked away because there are crazies in this online soccer community, specifically people who want to put Promotion and Relegation into US soccer and are willing to be a major asshole to anyone who points out that the owners have already lost millions and would not favor creating a system where they could lose all of their investment just so some guy who bought in with much less money could own a team in the league they created. For that, I got death threats.

SpaceX is doing cool things now with their first stage landings. The stage lands itself; nobody on the ground is controlling it. And it can't hover. The thrust/weight ratio > 1, which means it has to reach zero speed and zero altitude at the same time. They call that a "hoverslam". If it reaches zero speed while it's still in the air, it will start climbing again until it runs out of fuel, which means it will crash.

They seem to be getting the hang of it. Computing power matters a lot. This couldn't have been done 50 years ago.
They keep pushing the envelope by landing with the bare minimum of fuel possible. The landing before the last one failed because it ran out of LOX just before touchdown. The one on Monday morning looked almost routine.
This is still experimental, and it is very cool that they can do this on operational missions while orbiting actual payloads. The customer doesn't care what they do with the first stage after burnout. Everyone else would just drop it into the ocean.

He explains how the more you let in, and the more money you spend on them, the greater your capacity to absorb more increases. The more immigration you have, the more immigrants you can take. And this all helps tamp down these awful nationalistic, xenophobic movements that are starting up.
This is sort of the human mass version of debt/deficit spending Keynesian economics. Oh, Brexit was caused by not letting enough immigrants in, allowing the xenophobes to win.

Fuck him with a flaming pineapple.
The Dems HATE the people who mine and grow the products they literally couldn't survive without.
I liked the oil guy. It's a YUGE security and economic benefit. Trump knows nothing about it but he can learn what he needs to know quickly, and at least he won't try to stop fracking like Hillary might.

The original plan called for landing the first stage in the ocean with parachutes. They tried it two or three times. It didn't work. The stage broke up on re-entry.
And even if that had worked, seawater would have had a corrosive effect on the engines and other critical parts.
Slowing it down with engine burns helped it get through re-entry in one piece. And then, why not just land it with engine burns, as God and Robert A. Heinlein intended?

The crowd and the what the party is becoming, would have appreciated one sentence endorsing Trump. This was calculated, but I think he might have erred.
Ted walks his own path, but sometimes you have to be part of the Party or else you actually trivialize yourself.

That's okay. His handing soccer balls out to illegals, inviting them to bum-rush our borders, and his shilling of extra-Constitutional power for Barky with TPA really pissed me off.

You don't do what he just did and earn anyone's respect.
There is just way too much at stake to not get out and above yourself and make the 'sacrifice' for the future of the NATION....not your political career.
Cruz blew the biggest chance e of his life to really be some body....and yea, Trump was an unmitigated asshole to Cruz and....there are # Supreme Court justice appointments, etc,etc,etc at stake...the Country as founded at stake.
Ok, rant off. I voted for Cruz and Trump is no prize but even a single cell organism knows that Hillary s the final nail in freedom's coffin.

I've noticed that for most celebs on Twitter, the conversation is entirely one-way. Twitter celebs (or their staffs) will post something, but they *never* actually interact with fans.
And it's obvious they do get special privileges. For instance I recently found out Eve Plumb (Jan from the original Brady Bunch) is on FB, but she has *no* friend or like button whatsoever, which is unusual; I'd never seen it before. It's obvious she's free to try and friend *you,* but you're not free to try and reach her in any way.

This. Ted Cruz would have gone down substantially in my estimation had he endorsed. Donald Trump has to earn votes. If he didn't earn Ted's- and he certainly did not- then Cruz shouldn't endorse. As someone else said up thread, winning the nomination doesn't change the kind of man Trump is.
Maybe he ruined his career, but he did the right thing by his own conscience and that's the kind of man we needed. It's unfortunate that people would rather have what we got instead. Those are the times, I suppose.

Maybe that was his way of indirectly saying vote for Trump. He should have concluded with saying to vote for Trump just so the MFM would have nothing to say.

What a frigging disappointment.
The President has to be a bigger man than that. We've had 8 years of a petty little ego queen- Cruz showed more Obama prissiness than Reagan generosity and hunger for victory.
In the end, he chose to listen to bitter a-holes who fed his ego,
instead of thinking about the country.

Kasich will be term limited out as governor of Ohio in 2018. He might run for Senate against the Democrat Sherrod Brown. Or he might retire.

1. It makes the Trump supporters mad at Cruz thus marginalizing him in the future to a small group of loyalist conservatives. Like it or not you need working class blue collar voters, not just a group of high minded conservertarians and other assorted types.
2. It allows the GOPe to paint Cruz to be a lone wolf ego manic who cannot work with anyone. This was always their argument against him, and now the Trump wing will firmly believe that as well.
3. The GOPe will now try to conquer by division, first getting the Cruz voters not to show up at the polls at all which they hope gives Hillary the presidency, and then running one of their boys in 2020. For example Ryan will pretend to support Trump thus not making the same mistake Cruz made tonight, yet do everything he can to make sure Trump loses. The media will continue the division in the GOP stories trying to depress voting by Republicans.
Cruz could have blown all that up tonight, but instead foolishly marginalized himself. Like I said - Ron Paul like.
Posted by: William Eaton at July 20, 2016 10:21 PM (KhJh8)
The Cruz speech was good until the last line of voting your conscience. It was just a back stab, so seemed so petty.
I get that trump was ugly towards him and his family.
And I get that Cruz gave kudos to Trump throughout the speech without saying his name.

He couldn't say just those few words. Principle is a fine thing, and Cruz has principles. But he also is part of a political party, and sometimes you have to behave as a part of the Party, or else the Party may decide it doesn't need you.
I don't think ill of Cruz, but I think the day may dawn that Cruz will regret he didn't say those few words.
And Kasich is a twit for not being at the convention in his own state.
And now Gingrich is making nice and being conciliatory towards Ted. That's how you make this sort of thing work

Prediction: Cruz will NEVER be President. He might be the nominee, although that's doubtful, but he doesn't have a dog's chance of ever getting elected.
I don't say that as an opponent of Cruz - I quite like a lot of his proposed policies - but rather as an objective observer. He just doesn't have what it takes to get elected to national office.

I have 750 followers. I'm able to follow 2,000 accounts. Once I get more than 2,000 followers, I can then follow more than 2,000 accounts.
Melissa Joan Hart has 708,000 followers and follows 203,000 accounts. She's a famous actor - an elite, if you will. Because of her fame, of her elite status as a celebrity, she has more access to the Twitter population than I do by a factor of 350.
(This isn't a dig against Melissa Joan Hart, by the way. Just an observation of one of Twitter's basic parameters.)
(And if I may commit the faux pas of stacking parentheticals, I'm under no illusions that all my 750 followers are at all interested in what I tweet. Despite the silly Impressions metric, I put that number at 20, tops - and that's a stretch, but I have an ego, so let's just say 20.)

Well we know Trump never would have been invited and considering the way he handled himself, I can see Trump not going - aside from not being invited - and possibly lobbing a few 'nades Cruz' way.
But I'll answer; I wouldn't be upset with Donald I'd be more upset with Cruz, as in "How fucking naive are you?"
ESPECIALLY if he didn't vet the speech, at the point, you deserve everything you get.

Are back to fighting the primary or did you actually listen to Cruz's speech?
And as to : "Division of power? Individual liberty? Federalism? The Constitution and the Bill of Rights? "
I have no real idea and neither do you unless you have a crystal ball.

Maybe so. But it seems clear, to me at least, that Cruz stands up for his principles. Its why I respect him for not endorsing Trump. Trump doesn't deserve his endorsement.Tribalism is bullshit. If all it comes down to is whether the American Tutsi or Hutu tribe wins the election, America is over. You need to have someone in office that actually believes in something larger than him or herself.Donald Trump believes in Donald Trump. Ted Cruz believes in something more. And I respect that.

It was good. A typical Cruz speech.
Just ended weird, with the crowd pushing him to do something he wasn't going to do. The crowd made it weirder than it had to be.
But that last line, hoo-boy...

Cruz didn't follow the forms and swear fealty - no big deal to me.
He followed his conscience, and urged us all to do the same - a big deal to me.
Bottom line, we should do what Newt urged - rise above our 'factions' (a resonating word, isn't it - the thing the Founders worried about?) and concentrate on defeating the corrupt felon.
For all his faults, I get the impression Trump actually loves his country.
I'll support that him over a corrupt one that is willing to sell out her country to sate her greed.

They won't fund him from their own pockets like Bernie's supporters do with their guy, and they won't pressure him to rein anything in or stay on message or show the basic self-discipline required of a 6-year-old in church. But the rest of us should fall in line and push this dead weight up the hill with smiles on our faces. And shut up with our misgivings already, because wrong opinions could make independent voters suddenly start to realize for the first time in their 18-90 year lives that Donald Trump has some qualities that could be viewed negatively in certain contexts. Politely tolerating moral introspection within their own party ranks was surely what took down the Romney and McCain campaigns. The real path to victory is alienating and loyalty purging your own coalition, and then doing a big Mighty Ducks movie ending just in time for November.

interested in his overseas golf resorts and lawsuits over his scam
for-profit side-ventures than in beating Hillary, be mad at you for being
insufficiently receptive to on-demand conformity.
If Trump
supporters spent half as much time and energy fund-raising to support
Trump's campaign as they do alienating other conservatives completely
from the idea that they ever had any common interest with them in the first place, Trump wouldn't be getting curb stomped on ad buys and turnout operations in critical swing states.
But if Trump doesn't care, why should anyone but Disrespectful Ted Cruz and his supporters
have to care, right?
How long are we going to be subjected to
this behavior? Does it end in November, or are we stuck permanently with
a 40% of the Republican party that has finally gotten in touch with its long dormant
inner Generalissimo? Because that prospect is way scarier than a Trump
presidency.
