  2. Morning Joe's DEI for gray-haired white men this morning (and I say this as a gray-haired white man): Deutsch (who opened the crypt and let him out?), Matthews (again?), VandeHei (in full kids-get-off-my-yard #MoralPanic), Barnicle (still?). Then Deutsch has the nerve to mock Biden's age.

    "“remains committed to protecting & strengthening #Medicaid for those who rely on it…while eliminating waste, fraud, & abuse.”"

    "eliminating waste, fraud, & abuse"

    And we're back to the #Repubican #MoralPanic about Chicago's #CadillacWelfareQueens and too many undeserving people scamming free #ObamaPhones

    It's always the 1980s in #MAGA land

  5. Overwritten #MoralPanic, which The Times labels an Idea.

  6. "How “trans panic” took over the world" by Rowan Ellis.

    In this video Rowan breaks down how moral panics are created, who benefits from them, and how we might be able to fight them! Including a breakdown of exactly how the trans moral panic of recent years began in the UK...

  7. I had naively assumed when I wrote the first in this series that the YouTube videos in the Google News feed would be mostly from middle or centrist news outlets. That was wrong, so I wanted to see who was the most popular. I wish I hadn't. Then I read the comments section, and that went poorly, too.

    Exactly, and link-pasting is exactly what I've done ever since I got on #Mastodon

    #QuotePosting was an enormous #MoralPanic about four years ago because #Twitter had it and #Mastodon didn't and all the big techy-bro rags convinced #Gargron that he was discouraging new migrants from Twitter because Mastodon didn't have #QuotePosts

    Took 'em about three years to do it, and everyone pretty much ignored quote posts when they were finally implemented, a lot because people could opt-out if they wanted and no one took them seriously

    IMO, YMMV...
