  • I suspect that this may be partially a result of a recent post of mine that some may considered to be in bad taste. So this response is likely to be a bit biased.

    For what it is worth, I considered tagging mine as NSFW but ultimately decided it was not necessary. I thought the image was very clearly a staged representation of drug use. Similar to how the Eric Andre meme is clearly a staged representation of murder. Further, there was no blood nor any indication of physical injury and I liked it to an image of somebody smoking pot or drinking to excess.

    Do I think drug use alone require a NSFW tag? No.

    Should drug coupled with blood, gore, physical injury, exploitation, etc? Possibly.



  • Reasons people may give a shit:

    • The US government is shoveling huge amounts of money towards an individual that dismisses and devalues half of the world’s population with an active sexual harassment suit against him.

    • Consumers might want to know if they are supporting if they are supporting a mysogynist by using his privately owned social media service or buying energy products / vehicles from a company he heads up as CEO.

    • Trump has announced an intention to have this man lead a new “Government Efficiency Commission” and this behavior reflects both on Trump for the sort of people he elevates into positions of power and reflects on Musk as a potential public servant.

    Tax experts, economists, and union organizers say it is unfair for workers to pay into a system without a legal status to be able to reap its benefits

    Wasn’t there some sort of skirmish in US history that involved the slogan “no taxation without representation”? Hmmm, what was that all about again?
