Chalk up two more celebrities with skins thin enough that they canāt handle exposure to opinions that might in some way differ from theirs.
Actually, thatās not quite fair. Itās not fair to Jim Carrey, because he didnāt exactly say why he was leaving Twitter, although my assumption above seems reasonable.
Iād prefer to give Carrey the benefit of the doubt, honestly, because he was so entertaining in both āLiar, Liarā and āBruce Almighty.ā Iāve seen little of his other work, and liked none of it, but those two films were worth watching, and still are.
Unlike Carreyās Twitter feed, which was posted on only 25 times in 2022, and mostly with nothing worth seeing. One exception:
I expect that Carrey and I interpret those hearings from different worldviews, but I canāt in good conscience say that thereās a word in that Tweet with which I disagree.
I also owe an apology regarding the second Celebrity to whom I referred above ā but in this case, the apology is to all the other celebrities out there, for grouping Moby among them.
Moby is one of those guys you might have heard of, and if youāve seen the Jason Bourne movies, youāve heard his āExtreme Ways,ā the catchy ā to me, anyway ā song that plays over the end credits. You probably donāt know much else by him, and youāre probably better off for it.
As usual, the best part of this Twitter exit announcement was the response from other users.
Both Carreyās and Mobyās Twitter accounts were still active Wednesday afternoon, 22 hours and 30 hours, respectively, after announcing their departures from the platform. Still, they havenāt posted again since, giving conservative thinkers two more reasons to prefer Twitter over some other social media platforms.
