One thing that's cool about Meta is how they are incapable of moderating blatant medical misinformation, endless scams, and the literal planning of insurrections and pogroms, but they have real-time monitoring and censoring of Marisa Kabas and the Kansas Reflector. 👍👍👍
Annnd now Threads has blocked me from posting anything at all.
Just to recap:
-The Kansas Reflector posted a column critical of FB on Thursday
-Meta blocked/deleted all their links across platforms
-Meta restored all Reflector links except the critical column
-I reposted the column on The Handbasket Friday

Abortion is still legal for the first 15 weeks of a pregnancy in Florida, and will be until May. It is imperative to be sure this common knowledge because this 6 week ban will devastate

If an aid vehicle that is sharing its coordinates with the IDF gets drone-bombed multiple times, it's hard not to believe that the IDF intentionally targeted them to prevent aid delivery.

I finally deleted my Twitter account. I was back to spending too much time there and it's just an absolute hellhole. It makes me sad to lose the archive, but as long as Musk is in charge, it's not for me.

Ken Paxton is such a vile fucking piece of shit. It is not enough to get angry - you have to vote in every single goddamn election and get more Democrats in office. PERIOD. Complacency is not an option. We must defeat these Bible-thumping fuckholes.

I keep saying this in hopes that people will hear me: Trump and the GOP aren't trying to win the next election. They aim to seize power by any means necessary. They're not hiding the plan, either.
I believe we'll still beat them. But I want folks to be clear-eyed about this.

When I got an email promoting IHOP's new Wonka menu, I immediately thought of @mattsinger.bsky.social. Looking forward to the stomach-churning report of what 'Hoverchoc Pancake Tacos' taste like!

Film lovin' friends: as I focus on year-end catch up, what are 1 or 2 films you loved this year that you feel were overlooked/more people need to watch?
I'll say HOW TO BLOW UP A PIPELINE and OF AN AGE, but admittedly I have a ton on my watchlist.

I think we’ve learned an important lesson today, which is: If you ever run a media company, do not ever create a situation where your poetry editor might have cause to write a resignation letter, because it will scorch you from the face of the earth.
Anne Boyer has resigned as the poetry editor of the New York Times magazine: “Because our status quo is self-expression, sometimes all artists have left is to refuse. So I refuse.”

Sometimes it's hard for me to process how fucking stupid the majority of this country is.
President Biden is trailing Donald Trump in five of the six most important battleground states one year before the 2024 election, new polls by The New York Times and Siena College have found.
Trump Leads in 5 Critical States as Voters Blast Biden, Times/Siena Poll Finds
Voters in battleground states said they trusted Donald J. Trump over President Biden on the economy, foreign policy and immigration, as Mr. Biden’s multiracial base shows signs of fraying.

What an absolute shitshow. Republicans never fail to be the worst, it's quite a gift.
Breaking news: The House elects a speaker — Rep. Mike Johnson — ending GOP’s weekslong stalemate after Kevin McCarthy’s ouster and three failed nominations. Johnson is a close ally of former president Donald Trump.

Hulu is gonna launch A HAUNTING IN VENICE on Halloween. Really enjoyed this one (in great part to Tina Fey) and it will make for a perfect pick that night, especially if you like your scary movies on the mild side!

Who is headed out to Zilker Park for W2 of ACL Fest? I am not thrilled at tomorrow's temps, but I *am* excited to see Ethel Cain again, who is brilliant. But, for me, the highlight of the weekend will be catching Jessie Ware!

Working a 3-day week & then headed out to Zilker Park for ACL Fest this weekend. Am trying to knock my to-do list out, but am struggling a bit today. Tomorrow, I'll be producing multiple webinars from 10:30am-3pm with no break so I am tying not to lose my mind.
