We talk a lot about stopping sexual abuse among church leaders.
But what about the youth conversion therapy ministries that sidestep all safeguarding by calling themselves "not therapy"?

People Express vs. Spirit Airlines: What made one discount airline so attractive, made its successor (five years later) incredibly annoying

@ParallelsCares Your customer support web interface makes it impossible to stop your attempts to auto-renew. "Manage Subscription" leads to "Inactive Sub" page but you keep trying to bill me anyway. You block new tickets for an inactive sub that keeps trying to autorenew.
@MattWalshBlog I think it would do you well to get to know the American Muslim communities and their institutions and scholars because your assumptions about this population are not aligned with reality. Also, this conflates Muslim with Arab. Only 20% of Muslims in America are Arab.
When I was your age, Americans protested the Iran-contra scandal hearings.
Not because Americans opposed Republican leaders’ collusion with Iran’s ayatollahs or Central American terrorists, but because the hearings pre-emptied The Price Is Right.
@FrankLuntz In every SOTU, Trump insults, dehumanizes, and disrespects anyone who opposes his immorality.
Democrats are under no obligation to be captive victims of his prime-time profanity.
Follow-up question: There are hundreds of conservative talk radio programs in the U.S. Will they be subjected to the same equal-time rule? Or do Trump friends Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Dan Bongino, et al, get a pass?
"There was no censorship here at all," says FCC Chair Brendan Carr on Colbert not airing Talarico interview. CBS just has to give comparable time and placement to other candidates running against Talarico. Some might say that would discourage shows from having a candidate on.
Old enough to remember when conservatives thought government bureaucrats were the *last* people who should be deciding what you can watch or hear, because of the Constitution and the First Amendment and Big Brother and such.
Really enjoying this book by @doctorow on why all these major tech platforms now suck.
Meta is best example but he makes good arguments about all of them.
If you like the tech world, highly recommend it.
Love or hate his politics, everyone can admit him reading Green Eggs and Ham on SNL is one of the most iconic things ever. RIP.

Folks, the only thing I ask here is that people tell the truth, and bring real arguments. You don’t have to agree with me.
But if you lie, especially, deliberately, I am going to be annoyed.
That is my right.
Twitter (aka X) can be a place where people have real discussions and get to the bottom of disagreements, or a place of insults and lies.
It’s up to you as participants to decide what you make of this forum.
Paul Graham’s hierarchy of argument is something I personally think we should all swear by.
Bottom level stuff sucks and we should avoid it.
The United States' national debt is set to balloon to $64 trillion over the next 10 years, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said on Wednesday, citing a jump in annual deficits that owes in part to tax cuts enacted by President Trump. abcnews.link/vhKGolQ
@AmandiOnAir Scott can't purchase something that's not for sale.
Bezos has repeatedly refused offers. He made clear that he intends to destroy the paper, not sell it.
@FrankLuntz The homeless congregate in big cities because the small towns that they come from, evict them or throw them away.
Big-city police, meanwhile, have other priorities. And through it all, Republicans, Democrats, and pollsters only pass along blame; you never offer solutions.
People who have lost their jobs because of MAGA policies still support Trump because he gives them good vibes about how *people that they admire* are benefiting from their sacrifice.
4/4
People betrayed by Trump's support for gun control, tariff taxes, and harsh federal regulation of states and local communities choose Trump because they want to belief his words, not his actions.
3/4
Do supporters of Donald Trump care when he shrinks the economy, increases taxes and bureaucracy, offshores American jobs, makes us more dependent on oil imports, makes the border less secure, increases migrant crime, or undermines the Second Amendment?
Generally, no.
