Now that twitter is in its death rattles I'm trying to decide what my "favorite" discourse was, I'm pretty torn between "literacy isn't a universal good" and "don't call Stalin cis"

Think about the kind of wall to wall coverage and outrage there'd be if it turned out that the president of a state school openly admitted that the goal of their journalism program was to produce far-left propagandists like Texas A&M admitted about right-wing goals.

Whenever I debunk pseudoscientific nonsense, some jabroni replies “you must be a lot of fun at parties”
First of all, fuck you, I am a lot of fun at parties.
And why is no one ever mad at the person who lied to you? You’re only mad at the people who pointed out you were lied to.

For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.

2 *hours* of deep sea mining. 1 year later: "the density of active swimming animals, such as fish and shrimp, dropped by 43% in areas directly affected by sediment kicked up by mining, and by 56% in adjacent areas." So, uh, pretty bad? 🧪https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02290-5
