First ABC is an idiot for at least not linking the tweet, but who knows what Elon Musk is charging for that these days.

Second, I don't know anything about the current Mexican President but it reminds me of the Mexican-American mom of one of my friends sharing photos she's take of mystical things. I respect her for it, and so I guess I respect this President for it.

>LEO COFRESI Leo Cofresi is a Dominican ex gang member. On stage he has a devil's advocate style with goofy and observational jokes. You can see him on 'Game Theory' on HBO.

I scanned through about 6 episodes and spotted him once, and it was "ask a random person on the street" style. He was on for about 10 seconds and cracked a joke about weed dealers selling crypto too.

It's already "less free" in the sense that massive corporations are incentivised to act in certain ways out of profit.

Look at all the demonetisation fiascos YouTube has had over the years, for instant. It's not free by virtue of it being owned by corporate interests who only agenda is more money.

A guy in California was just acquitted of DUI because in CA it's legal to drive under the influence if the result of not driving puts someone at greater risk of harm. His lawyer argued successfully in court that he was at greater risk of harm if he didn't flee in his car when his wife caught him with his girlfriend. That sounds like nonsense to me, but it worked.

Whatever nonsense is being argued by Twitter's lawyers will only be dumb if it doesn't work. What would be dumber would be not using every argument they can think of to clear their client.
