Scott Alexander offers many wise observations.
I don’t want to say angry tweets never accomplish anything, but there is a massive oversupply of angry tweets compared to almost any other part of the machinery of change.
…I’m not saying you have to write blog posts! …. Just do anything, anything at all, other than tweet.
The Fantasy Intellectual Teams scoring system does not have a point category for “wise observations.”

Enjoy! But, Arnold, get some decent headphones already!
H/T Steve Winwood. Where’s the original cover art?

Was he 15 then?
Depends on whom you are referring to. Winwood was 21 at the time of the album recording. The girl in the cover art was purported to be 11 at the time.
Strange story. I first discovered this album while babysitting in like 1992 when I was 16. Like most honorable families, they flipped out the album cover to the less objectionable one you see in the YouTube link. I only discovered the original album cover after I purchased it directly. Pretty sure I’ve still got the original one displayed, but I haven’t visited my CD collection in awhile.
I still say you need a way to lose points for presenting false facts or logical fallacies. The equivalent of turnovers in fantasy football…
15 was Spencer Davis Group. Still…

On Twitter, everybody takes things so personally. Nice 53 sec clip shows it.
Angry tweets suppress publicly expressed opinions from the moderate wing of the other side. They just want to live their lives in peace and will cower from the mob. Why should the Woke stop what they’re doing if no one can spank them?
