repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself
An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

It’s funny how all those big protests just disappeared after the election, despite worsening conditions for Gaza.

Almost like they were being disingenuously amplified to sway voter opinion, or something.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel says it is cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza.

Matt Schlapp still hasn’t responded to me and yet he’s tweeting stuff like this.

Fascinating!

Just wow.
During a recent Trump’s speech, an altered version of the presidential seal was displayed behind him. Before 1945 the eagle faced the arrows. President Truman ordered a redesign of the seal, directing it to face the olive branch, as a symbol of peace.

Here, the eagle was shown facing the arrows.

There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why it’s better than everything else: it’s a weapon, and the best weapon is one you don’t know exists, or worse, one you think you can’t live without

It was Trump's executive order that led to today's TikTok ban.

And so it begins.

These people will not storm the Capital building. They will not assault police officers or hang gallows for bureaucrats. They respect the peaceful transfer of power.

Anyone who says the two parties are the same are blatantly wrong. They are not, we are not.

#resist
Look at the crowds assembled for the Trump Inauguration.

My error: these are protestors.

That initial post.

Left Twitter about a month before election. Keeping up with the Ukraine news wasn't worth reading all the dross. Been happier for it (though I still worry about Ukraine).

Joining this site in hopes that we can resurrect something of what was the best of Twitter.
