Small-Scale Question Sunday for September 15, 2024

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Even pre-Elon Twitter vastly increased the amount of information available to an average person, so long as it wasn't in the relatively small subset of things which were censored.

So basically cat videos, baby pictures and other content if approved by the Blue Tribe.
