A Fine Whine, Pungent and Quirky: Donald Trump Blocked Me on Twitter and It's Destoying Muh Careers!
Most of my writing is about the Trump administration. In fact, my mandate from Pacific Standard is “Trump and the law.” On Twitter, the bulk of my recent follower growth and new relationships with others in the politico-legal sphere have come out of responding quickly when the president tweets and engaging the threads of conversation that flow from those tweets. So when President Donald Trump blocked me in June, apparently for suggesting that Russia influenced the outcome of the 2016 election, he harmed me professionally. Even though I knew @realDonaldTrump was important to my career, it still took me at least a few days to recognize how being blocked by the president on Twitter would affect me as a public intellectual... Gone now is my ability to participate in the timeliest and most robust conversations around law, policy, and politics on Twitter—those around the president’s tweets.Of course, she can just go on Twitter in a different browser, as a guest, and see all of Trump's tweets. But what she's complaining about is that she doesn't get to have her #SickBurnz listed as replies to his tweets, where Very Important People can see them and retweet them and help her get Opportunities For Further Lucrative Tweeting.
... Every day I’m blocked I lose opportunities to advance my views and engage others'—literally the reason a reader follows a writer’s work, the substance a publication pays a writer for—in these conversations. I can’t fire off a 140-word tweet, create a thread, or share pieces I write to drive discussion within these very conversations . That quick click I thought was so inconsequential is constraining my career in ways I have yet to fully appreciate.This is the sort of bent Millennial whiner who should (Don't end on a preposition, Ace) up with which shut the fuck. Below, two videos I've linked before, but never with such vim.

Anyway, it's a moot point since as ACE pointed out:
Of course, she can just go on Twitter in a different browser, as a guest, and see all of Trump's tweets. But what she's complaining about is that she doesn't get to have her #SickBurnz listed as replies to his tweets

#SickBurnz listed as replies to his tweets, where Very Important People
can see them and retweet them and help her get Opportunities For Further

So you're saying Trump is even creating jobs himself via twitter?

Hell Ace blocked me on Twitter for snarking at him a year ago and I only remember when some RT's me.
Then I open a new window, read it, chuckle and move on.
Part of the problem is these people think they can monetize followers, and I guess some of them are. But since they can't use trump to get that anymore, they're going to use "TRUMP BLOCKED ME" to get people to donate to their Patreon.

But that's not all, you also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people, and you brought shame and disgrace to your family name for generations to come. You don't get to come back tomorrow. You don't even get a lousy copy of our home game. You're a complete loser!

I just can't work out that sort of worldview, or how someone like that makes it through the day. Its like morphing into a girl on her first period.
This is what 9/11 did: it forced people living in this bizarre bubble to realize the rest of the world and what matters for real. For a few minutes, at least. That's where the real horror was for them. That and the realization that New York City isn't invincible and safe from the evils of the world, of course. But even that was merely forcing them to see that bad stuff doesn't just happen over there, to those people.

Yes, of course. Because what we got after the CNN meme tweet was a "robust conversation around law, policy, and politics," not a roaring dumpster fire as the infantile media threw a tantrum and claimed victimhood.
Which, come to think of it, is exactly what this chick is doing with this piece.

So it's not to say it *can't* work. My biggest concern is that this is a move by a showrunner who wants to leave a mark, but can't do it via writing/producing, so he's going for the gimmick. So instead of being good it'll just be drab.

I've been a Dr. Who fan since I was in single digits, so the way the BBC has completely corrupted the new series is painful to watch. They've absolutely infested it with blatant, hardcore SJW/commie propaganda. I haven't watched for years, and my sister (a more die-hard Whovian you will rarely meet) has basically given up on it, too.
Tom Baker will always be THE Doctor. I don't care what anyone else says.
Also, I mentioned it on Twitter but I'll reiterate here, using language the SJW feebs will understand: Instead of forcibly colonizing traditional male roles, work on creating a
new landscape where male female roles coexist equally.
But that's too hard and involves work, and lazy Millennial SJWs especially aren't up for that.

It's exactly what happened with Lady Ghostbusters.
It didn't HAVE to be a bad movie. They just put in 0 effort after "WE DID IT WITH WOMEN!"
Now, Britain is different, so who knows. Many think the show has suffered under Moffat anyway. (And there's good argument for it.) So maybe the new show runner will put in the effort and succeed. Too early to tell.
But I don't even think he was rolling for the SJW love as much as any HISTORIC FIRST and this was probably a bigger one than changing races.

Well, there's a new showrunner taking over and this is something that he's wanted to do for a while, so it's not just the Beeb in this case. The guy has some chops, apparently: He's responsible for Broadchurch and was a key writer on Torchwood. The hope from some is that perhaps this will get the Beeb to back off somewhat from shoehorning SJW stupidity into every aspect of Doctor Who like they have in the most recent season. Me, I have my doubts...

I'll avoid it because it's bad for it's price point. There are better frozen pizzas that may cost more or cheaper ones that cost about the same.
Red Barron tastes almost exactly like Jack's (Kraft's brand) but costs more (usually a buck or 2) why should I pay that?
And if I want something that tastes better a few local joints now sell frozen pizzas (say what you want about St. Louis Style, but it freezes great.)

That's noting.
The State of Illinois ran a "Love your Pride" or something tourism commercial that was entirely gay themed. I don't mean "Gay overtones."
It was basically "Gay people come to Illinois, we love gay! Look here are tons of gay couples making out in Chicago."
My wife leans pretty left, especially on social issues and even she went "What the fuck was that and why the hell would you build a tourism spot around it?"

I have no idea what to make of any of it.
Lots of articles saying the current companion was the "first openly gay companion."
But Captain Jack was on the show in 2009, the Torchwood spin off revolved around him. I guess you could say he was "bi-sexual" but they made a point of making him mostly gay.
And not really in a SJW way either. He was a bombastic American soldier, who was a character you could build a spinoff around. The whole gay part was more of a character quirk than anything.

Well, there's a new showrunner taking over and this is something that
he's wanted to do for a while, so it's not just the Beeb in this case.
The guy has some chops, apparently: He's responsible for Broadchurch and
was a key writer on Torchwood. The hope from some is that perhaps this
will get the Beeb to back off somewhat from shoehorning SJW stupidity
into every aspect of Doctor Who like they have in the most recent
season. Me, I have my doubts...
Posted by: Jackal at July 17, 2017 03:32 PM (hM3sR)
Yeah, no. If that was the aim -- and I really don't think it was -- it will nevertheless not be the result. They're already catching flack from the SJW-verse (*cough*SarkEEEEEEEsian*cough*) that it's a white woman, not a "transfemale person of color."

An intellectual is someone who deals in ideas and words, as opposed to concrete things.
It does imply a modicum of functional literacy but beyond that nothing.
I suppose it once implied above-average learning or at least coherent reasoning. Now? Not so much.
I think it was R. Emmet Tyrell who coined the word "intellectualoid" for our present chatting class since the requirement of actual thinking has been dropped entirely.

Probably if you were gay, Torchwood was the greatest show evah.
Practically every episode had this general format.
1) Danger from some source or new information that was dangerous to get
2) The team prepares and is just about to go on it's most dangerous mission yet!!!!
3) Captain Jack(?) sez "Oooops, time out for teh ghey!" and flounces off
4) 5-10 minutes of graphic ghey sex.
5) Captain Jack back and ready to go having recharged his Ghey Powah!
6) Mission accomplished!
7) New danger stuff appears
Continued next week.
9) Rinse/repeat till finale with downbeat victory that's really a defeat.

I'm like "this is really weird for the show that gave us Captain Jack. It's like the hangups went backwards."
Posted by: tsrlbke PhD(c), rogue bioethicist at July 17, 2017 03:44 PM (dzmBR)
I will tell you what it was. They saw Captain Jack as a gay character, not a character who happened to be gay. They thought the sexuality part was more important than the rest of what it takes to be a quality, likable, popular character.

* Get an original, Red Baron pizza carton, one with the manly Red Baron pictured thereon.
* Gather all the historic photographs and reportage of the "With Full Honors", treatment the Brits gave to von Richtoven, after they'd recovered his body. I've seen many of the photographs, and they really went all out.
* Get a bunch of age appropriate actors, wearing true to the vintage photos British uniforms, and recreate "With Honors" events, as well as can be done, on video.
* But in this case, the Red Baron to be interred will be the Manly Red Baron Pizza BOX.
Thus making a big deal of sending the Red Baron off WITH HONORS, and solidifying the thought out there, that anyone trying to follow in his footsteps is a poseur and a fraud.
Won't be a cheap You Tube to make, but it sure would be a fun one, and I think would go instantly viral.

The virtues are prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. None of which any leftist exhibits nor understands. Viutuousness is a practice, not a quality. One "exhibits" virtue when demonstrating prudence, for example. Prudence guides moral application to circumstances and judgement.
Why anyone on the Left thinks they're virtuous is a mystery. If morality is relative there is no objective good to select for, there can be no virtue.

Probably if you were gay, Torchwood was the greatest show evah.
Practically every episode had this general format.
1) Danger from some source or new information that was dangerous to get
2) The team prepares and is just about to go on it's most dangerous mission yet!!!!
3) Captain Jack(?) sez "Oooops, time out for teh ghey!" and flounces off
4) 5-10 minutes of graphic ghey sex.
5) Captain Jack back and ready to go having recharged his Ghey Powah!
6) Mission accomplished!
7) New danger stuff appears
Continued next week.
9) Rinse/repeat till finale with downbeat victory that's really a defeat.
If this guy's running Dr Who, I predict.....suckage.

The though the worst part about Moffat is the horrible deus ex endings he always had.
I expect a lot of a Deus Ex in my scifi, but he was just too much. It wasn't just "technobabble solves problem" it was "character we totally ignored the entire season comes back with god powers and saves us."
