      This is, of course, an example of that most annoying of social media hot takes, the "Why don't you Tweet about what *I* think you should Tweet about?" take, a view usually expressed only by the most insufferable of social media denizens.🙄🤦🏻‍♂️ https://twitter.com/PhilWMagness/status/1325500015947681794 …

          I tweeted about the celebrations and cautioned about COVID and said “at least they are wearing masks”. Why is this not hard to understand?

          How does Jay Gordon still get promoted by the algo (and have license)? Shows up on twitter and probably elseweb, because that’s how we wrote it. Massively fucked.

          The way to get by is bothsiderism. Not an endorsement, just an observation.

          So, in other words, these propagandists are getting back to their roots.
