This tweet struck a chord with me, and while I don't often get personal on the Tweeters, given the point made here, I feel it's important. So here we go. Happy #pridemonth. twitter.com/jpbrammer/stat… Confession: When I was younger, I never really bought into the idea of "pride."

It's ok to not be sad that he's dead. He wanted you to be dead too.

If a deepfake ever does have a meaningful impact on a U.S. election (and it has not happened), it will not be because there wasn't a law. It'll be because of all the times politicians hysterically claimed that this would be the election swayed by a deepfake and nothing happened.

Man, if I were a person with any self-respect, I might not say out loud during the selection show, "I know we're not supposed to root for anyone, but I'm rooting for Kelvin Sampson." Yea? You're rooting for th guy who cheats? Nice.

If an 18-year-old kid has extremely strong opinions on Israel and foreign policy, something’s wrong there. That’s not an opinion earned through years of learning and life experience. It’s the result of a kid spending hours on his phone, being conditioned by an algorithm.

@PoliceOfMeme @JoelWBerry I'm sure many did. I know a bunch sure did back in the early 2000s before social media was ubiquitous. The problem is that this argument is all based on feelings.

@pinkhippos10 @AriCohn You also have a brain full of rocks if you don’t think the son knew his dad was going to kill those two. Look at the facts

To be fair, as best I recall the MPRE did not cover shooting deponents.

@AriCohn This headline is confusing as hell. Did the lawyer kill the couple?

@PoliceOfMeme @JoelWBerry Who says they are experts? Do you think that college freshmen didn't have strong opinions about world events in, say, the 70s?

@AriCohn @JoelWBerry Dude. He's saying there's not a single reason why an 18yo who's never been outside his hometown, hasn't had time to deeply read about anything - let alone this one very specific country- should be an expert about a country oceans away he's never seen. This isn't that hard.

Saying "you'd have to be a fool to deny the thing I said" is not support for the thing you said. Young people having strong opinions about complex issues has been almost a cliche since well before social media. What evidence is there that opinions and opinion-forming is meaningfully different among that age group? And why is developing opinions based on social media content any less "organic" than listening to friends who formed their opinions through exposure to adults who have a certain point of view and and likely imparted information selectively and with a bias?

A ton of people here saying “If he’s old enough to go to war, he’s old enough to have an opinion.” I agree, but that misses what I’m saying. No one is saying an high-school kid doesn’t have the right to an opinion. I had one when I was a teenage USMC infantryman who got sent to fight in Iraq. But like most teens, that opinion was largely formed through peers and post 9/11 propaganda. Today, kids are inundated with much more pervasive foreign and anti-American propaganda through public schools and the internet. It’s not organic. Kids are being conditioned. You’d have to be a fool to deny that reality.

College freshmen (and adults for that matter) famously never had strong opinions on things without having "years of learning and life experience" before social media. More likely this complaint is about kids having the wrong opinions.

@JoelWBerry @CoreyWriting Yes social media is responsible for something 18 year olds have been doing for at least 50 years. Nailed it.
