But POTUS 5 months ago:
"If you look back years ago in the 1920s and the 1930s, they said global cooling will kill the world. We have to do something. Then they said global warming will kill the world, but then it started getting cooler. So now they just call it climate change because that way they can't miss. Climate change because if it goes higher or lower, whatever the hell happens, there's climate change. It's the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world, in my opinion. Climate change, no matter what happens, you're involved in that. No more global warming, no more global cooling. All of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong. They were made by stupid people that have cost their country's fortunes and given those same countries no chance for success."

For political reasons he needs it to be more than a very popular private service. He needs it to be an essential public utility.

You are more scandalized about the campaign of a private citizen emailing Twitter to ask that dick pics of his son remove, than about the White House emailing Twitter to have tweets removed?

I know the Trump White House made requests for stuff to be taken down via email, (instead of the Report Tweet button), but I didn't see that President Trump requesting a ToS review for some tweets was this kind of corruption.

What did the Biden campaign do that the Trump White House did not?
"In 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored."
The difference is that the Trump White House was the executive office of the federal govt making requests, while Biden was a private citizen.

What did we learn today about Democrats and Twitter?

So what you're saying is that when a reporter noticed that the monthly job openings number hit a 4 year low, the Reuters service should not have released a short article stating that fact, otherwise they're "salivating over finding something they can spin as negative about the current economy."
Sounds like you're biased in your media assessment.

Thanks for your work. OP maybe didn't read the first two paragraphs of YMNNJ, which clearly states:
> jQuery and its cousins are great, and by all means use them if it makes it easier to develop your application.
> If you're developing a library on the other hand, please take a moment to consider if you actually need jQuery as a dependency.

> Pages like "You might not need jQuery" try to sell the idea that it’s easy to ditch jQuery. ... good reasons to not use jQuery: if you’re writing code that you want to be re-used by others...
Literally the first thing youmightnotneedjquery.com says is:
> jQuery and its cousins are great, and by all means use them if it makes it easier to develop your application.
> If you're developing a library on the other hand, please take a moment to consider if you actually need jQuery as a dependency.

We also need to donate more to FOSS. And find more ways to monetize FOSS. It's tough for many FOSS projects to succeed on a volunteer basis.

Since its purpose is to launch rockets, I assume it lands where it takes off, and might never stray far away.

No one has accepted anything. "Man plans to sue his parents". Plans.
