Reminder that under the Admin. Procedures Act judges can basically block anything they want to block (eg by dreaming up something-X-the agency didn’t take into sufficient account). Justice Roberts showed the way in the DACA case https://t.co/XzSu2cVACu

Note that this isn’t deciding the famous get more money. It’s deciding the famous get more speech — formally privileged speech (in the “public square”).

1) We already overvalue fame. @Twitter supposed to be democratizing
2) Not a fair fame fight. Algo boosts already famous/credentialed-a rich-get-richer scam. Hard to earn thru tweets
3) Worse, algo seems to boost blue checks so it’s “fame” as decided by the wokes/Dems at Twitter https://t.co/HRQ5McsTi3— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey)

Also seems a good way to pass a massive immigration amnesty, attracting even more illegal immigration and setting the stage for another massive amnesty, etc. etc. into the future. US low wage workers wouldn’t have a chance. https://t.co/GhjCWrpp6E

How was @Twitter for you this election? Same as ever for me–very good, useful–and seemingly more pleasant. Why? Maybe because Dems and anti-Trumpers weren’t angry at the results, or directed their anger at @Elon. Maybe some new secret algorithmic sauce. Or New Nice culture.
