🧵Dear Friends on Twitter,

I’m basically going to try to use the other place, mostly, reserving this account for reference, and stragglers.

One major thing is to get away from the INTRUSIVE ADVERTISING, as well as get away from Elon‼️

@PetrLepulus This style is exactly (I did the maths) 36.8 million times cooler than a manbun.

Still upset about discovering man-buns are this old ;)

Right - Dangle anything in front of the masses, just don't let people think for a moment about the missing

@JoshLipnik 🧵I do find it amusing that there is a mailbox outside the door, 😉.

I would have expected the mailman to come into the bank and hand the letters & parcels to the head cashier, & likewise pickup the outgoing mail. I guess the box was for weekends?

Different, simpler times.

In the early to mid 1980s large parts of lower Manhattan felt abandoned, desolate.

A 56-year-old New York City activist saw a photograph in 1930 and bought a mountain to stop a slaughter.

Her name was Rosalie Edge. She was a suffragist with no scientific training. The photograph she saw showed hundreds of dead hawks lined up on the forest floor in eastern Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania's 1929 bounty on goshawks had turned a ridge of the Kittatinny Mountains into a recreational shooting site where men gathered every autumn to kill migrating raptors by the thousand.

In 1934, Edge borrowed $500 from a friend and leased 1,400 acres of Hawk Mountain. She hired two wardens, Maurice and Irma Broun, who lived on the property and kept the hunters off. Within a single migration season, observers recorded dramatic increases in the numbers of raptors passing the ridge as the shooting ended.

In 1938 she bought the land outright and deeded it to a new nonprofit. Hawk Mountain Sanctuary is now the world's first refuge for birds of prey. It still runs raptor migration counts that began in 1934, the longest-running such record on Earth.

Fired "60 Minutes" journalist Scott Pelley says CBS News boss Bari Weiss is lying when she says there was an effort to "find a way back" for him.

"At no point did anyone in the meeting suggest there could be steps taken by either side that would lead to a resolution. Weiss and Tom Cibrowski were openly hostile from the start. 'Firing' was raised by Cibrowski in the first 15 seconds. No CBS executive, at any time, suggested 'a way back.' To say so now is disingenuous. And they know it. In fact, Weiss, Cibrowski and Nick Bilton refused to answer my questions. I asked Weiss a number of questions about why she fired the entire senior staff of '60 Minutes' a few days before and without cause. 'I'm not answering that question,' she said... These executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies. This is antithetical to everything we stand for and reveals contempt for what journalists do."
