Show mercy when you can.
Yeah you do owe an apology here, @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app . This was a whole mess!!!
BlueSky could have shared a screenshot of my tweet showing the Oct 10 timestamp and that I was using Johnny Cash lyrics to quote-tweet about an article on Johnny Cash. Instead, they made it look like I issued a random death threat and falsely claimed I posted it this week. They should apologize.

There is no reason to use either. You are not going to break through the algorithm. You are doing more harm than good simply by being on the platform.

This is extremely dangerous.

If you’re a journalist, politician, artist, or public figure, or anyone with a platform, you need to stop using X.

You’re not helping by remaining on the platform. You can say you’re fighting where the people are, but you won’t beat the algorithm.

Lead people off X.
NEW on @indicator.media: A first *full-scale* comparison of Grokipedia v Wikipedia.

Last week the awesome @harold.bsky.social rocked up to my desk bearing gifts.

Hal had collected almost all 900K Grokipedia entries and compared them to their Wikipedia equivalents for text and citation similarity.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed is 22 and was studying electrical engineering (you can read about his family in the 🧵 ). He’s trying to help his family including his pregnant sister Rasha and his 4 year old nephew Khamis who started kindergarten yesterday!

You said a 3-day suspension. It's day 4. Sarah's insights into current events would be super helpful right now.

This is far worse than anyone expected.

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.

All as mass internment camps are being built.

Kind of crazy that evidence is mounting that the world is run by a group of rapists, pedophiles, and men convinced of women’s inmate natural inferiority, and the pundit class is trying to convince us that the real social crisis is that men are victimized and lonely because women have too many jobs.
You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

At the same time, much of the media, the fourth estate, the people whose role in democracy is holding power accountable by informing the public, decided that an old president’s oldness was a bigger scandal than another old president’s connections to and likely participation in child sex trafficking.

Meanwhile, the political party that spent years publicly denouncing sex trafficking, especially of children, and pushed theories of an elite conspiracy to do then cover up child sex trafficking, saw a lot of evidence the president was connected to a real one and made it a priority to cover it up.

A convicted felon who had also been found liable for sexual assault and committed additional crimes in plain sight was close with a notorious child sex trafficker and likely participated in some of those crimes too got elected with much of that known and spent his presidency railing against “crime.”

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years."

When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

Sure, but I’m increasingly convinced nobody in a position to fix anything ever intended to fix anything. The whole point of bidenism was to preserve the status quo but belre dignified about it, and trump-epstein is the status quo

That’s the thing. Also another case where the Biden White House protected power instead of America.

This is a really important point I try to emphasize as an editor. It's a culturally baked-in impulse to try to soften terrible things powerful people do to make them seem more polite and widely discussable, but it's vitally important to fight the euphemizing impulse and use clear, accurate language.
Friendly reminder that there’s no such thing as “sex with underage girls”! We have a word for that! That word is “rape.”
