SocraticGadfly: Didn't you used to be John Scalzi?

Didn't you used to be John Scalzi?

John Scalzi fellates BlueSky, while ignoring that "blocking" there sounds no different than blocking on Twitter, and that BlueSky was a project of "Blue Balls Ice Bath" Jack Dorsey when he still ran Twitter, who looks good today only because of Elmo Musk replacing him. He also sounds semi-clueless about Mastodon. Here's the racist reality there.

It's clear from his "register to vote" sidebar, and main post on that, that he's a left hand of the duopoly guy, even if not a deep-fried duopolist. Beyond that? He's written nothing on his site about Israel-Gaza.

On Russia-Ukraine, he claims that we were in a post-Cold War era until the start of the war. Bullshit.

I know my friend, the late Leo Lincourt, seemed to love him some Scalzi. I believe it was for non-political reasons. I hope it was.

To me, what Scalzi sounds like is that long poem about not letting the world trouble you, whose name escapes me because I haven't read it for years. It sounds portentious, but is really pretentious; it sounds profound, but is really more platitudinous.
