Alice is the gold standard of what Twitter was when it was great - how you could just find these brilliant, remarkable people with the kind of voices that rarely get platformed or taken seriously, and hear about their lives in their own words without intruding on them or demanding emotional labor
Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.
My social media is wall-to-wall love for the incomparable Alice Wong, and I need more words. What captures sadness and/also affection for a community that knows what's been lost?

Issa Rae, of all people, explaining why she doesn’t feel successful right now kind of confirmed some of my suspicions being an artist right now. The industry is declining and I haven’t been able to specifically connect the dots but I feel like it has a LOT to do with this administration. 🫠

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

I've said it and believe, sports will be the set it off that propels us to deal with the racial divide, as it always has. Some say, "These young kids just care about the money." If you believe that, you are like the white fans in the stands that just care about what they do on the court/field.

This clip from the documentary Art of the Surge gives some insight into how Trump's tweets are made.
Trump can be seen dictating to his aide Natalie Harp. We also see the entire room brainstorming, with Matt Gaetz and Stephen Miller contributing ideas.
