President Joe Biden, in a video posted Thursday on X, touted the proposal as "an important move toward reversing longstanding inequities."

"Look folks, no one should be in jail for merely using or possessing marijuana. Period," he said. "Far too many lives have been upended because of a failed approach to marijuana, and I'm committed to righting those wrongs."

What the hell is "X"?

I'm legit pissed that a bunch of these journalists have stopped using "Formally known as Twitter".

Because seriously, fuck Musk. I will never stop dead naming that platform.

It's the 24th letter of the Latin alphabet, but I'm not sure what that has to do with video

It’s slang for ecstasy, a recreational drug which Biden needed to be on to give him the confidence needed to share the video.

This is the example of mental gymnastics people should reference.

“Slang” kids! He’s old!
