Youāre never too young to be an asshole.

Itās kind of hard not to admit that the media sucks when the the comments of a smartass teenager are considered newsworthy.

āHelp! Help! Iām being repressed!ā
And yes, you generally donāt invite cops who have been gunned down over to the White House for a visitā¦thatās kind of difficult to doā¦unless you have a Medium who can summon the dead.

GREAT article yesterday on the difference between āFree Speechā and āCompelled Attention.ā
Cory Doctorow 
@doctorow
If you think āfree speechā is the right to force others to listen, you actually believe in ācompelled attentionā #blocktogether

Is there a way to get yourself a blocked message based on totally offensive content even if the account youāre tweeting to hasnāt blocked you? Like an automatic block feature for doing something like dropping the c-bomb?
Otherwise, photoshop.

āWunderkindā, no. But it makes me wonder why TPM thinks that heās a wunderkind. Heās had his his fifteen minutes, itās time to let this go.

This makes me soooooo grateful that Twitter was not around when I was a teen. That timing likely saved my life.

I was wondering what ails this kid and got to thinking maybe this is a misguided effort to get attention from the young women in his world.
Speaking of young women, this is a wunderkind, because sheās extraordinarily good at something. Sheās 11 here, currently still in her teens and maturing as an artist at an astonishing rate.

Itās like Moderate Media Bias, which the BBC talked about a decade and a half ago. The Right Wing whine about how the Media is biased against them, when the reality is that, if they werenāt desperately trying to appear Moderate and āgive everyone a voice at the tableā a lot of things like the anti-gay movement or the Climate Change deniers would be denied a seat at the table to discuss these issues because their opinions would be considered invalid by anyone with a thinking mind.

Well I always knew he was a whiner but I never thought Donald Trump was a 13-year-old black kid.

Why are the temper tantrums of a 13 year old asshole considered news? At least Palin was once politically relevant.

The POTUS Twitter account doesnāt block anyone. Bet this so-called 13 year old āwunderkindā doesnāt know why though.
(hint: has a whole lot to do with Presidential recordsā¦that includes social media)
So tweet away you little gobshite. Every word you post there is being recorded for posterity, into perpetuity. That also goes for the racists, birthers, bigots, and general variety trash who inundate that Twitter feed daily with hate mail, death threats, and the like.
Iāll say one thing for social media like Facebook and Twitter - it sure makes the racists, bigots and people with IQs lower than dirt easier to spot in advance.
