Killington is Woke

Chatting at the boat launch last week with a fellow local when I said that "I really missed spring skiing." She dressed me up and down on how I could be so insensitive to think about skiing at this time when people of color are being marginalized in our society.

Whoever said that to you sounds like a huge douche. I am all for helping those marginalized in our society but that's no reason not to ski.

Welcome to my world. Try not to judge, just process but sometimes I am left baffled.

^^ yes after several decades of 24hr news cycles many have been well trained to be able to only process one, blanket-covered issue at a time.

we all have many things on our minds.
we ALL missed spring skiing.

to paraphrase frank zappa:
spring skiing is the best!

I guess it just takes you forever to come to conclusions others garner in a matter of minutes...

YES that is EXACTLY the point...twitter is trying to hide behind the protections of the CDA to protect it self from being sued for content that it posts...

I mean, that was basically my original point. Scroll up and you'll see what I posted:

He clearly wants to remove the protection so he can sue them and get them to stop publishing this speech. That's the point, here, and if you can't see that it's because you're letting your politics get in the way.

You took issue with the term "censorship" but that is clearly what this is. By the way, suing twitter for defamation likely wouldn't work, because not only is truth a defense, the plaintiff would have to prove "actual malice." Look it up, it's hard to do, and definitely wouldn't work on twitter's fact checks. This whole move by Trump is more like a shot across the bow of the social media players - he's saying shut up or I will come after you. If he was a private citizen saying that, it would be intimidation. Since he's the President of the United States saying it, it's censorship, and a total disrespect of the First Amendment.

Someone say censorship?

The NFL franchise in Washington just became woke... changing their name from Redskins to something TBD. I didn't think I'd see that happen, but here we are.
