Opinions my own. I no longer consider Twitter a professional platform.

@nhannahjones I found your hosting on the Hulu series very engaging and captivating. Same for the portions you read on the audiobook. Thanks for your work!

@_Peace_Love_US The Confederate flag is clearly a symbol of racism and treason against the United States. I was raised in MS; have lived in SC, NC, VA, MD, TX, and TN.

Congratulations Army football on your win in the historic OT game. As my 2nd favorite service academy, I am proud of your accomplishment. As a USNA alumnus and US Marine, I am proud of Navy Football’s performance in today’s game. As an American, I am very proud of both teams.

[U.S. Marines @USMC]

In a hard fought battle, the @ArmyWP_Football Black Knights came out on top this year 20-17 in the first overtime in #ArmyNavy history. Proud of our future #MarineCorps and @USnavy officers.

We’ll see you next year. #GoNavy #BlueGreenTeam

[Jim Ward Jr @JimWardJr]

@USMC Good game. Hard fought by two teams that I admire. Congratulations Army. Ready for next year. Go Navy! Beat Army! Semper Fi

@kaitlancollins Navy!

@Victorshi2020 @cbouzy I appreciate the various predictions, but such predictions should NEVER influence your vote or your motivation to vote.

[Jim Ward Jr @JimWardJr]

@cbouzy My point here is accountability. If you are not willing to attach your name to a comment, that's perfectly understandable. I just do not give it much credibility. That's the poster's choice.

[Jim Ward Jr @JimWardJr]

@cbouzy I understand why some people do not use their real identities. I give little relevance to anonymous communication. Decades ago I decided that I would attach my name to any feedback and would ignore anonymous comments. https://t.co/RaNVCu36V9

@cbouzy I like the whale logo, but it immediately reminded me of the Docker logo.

@elonmusk Twitter has clearly lost any professional or civic relevance.

[U.S. Marines @USMC]

Happy Birthday, Marines!

For 247 years, Marines have fought in any clime and place to defend our nation. Today, we reflect on the legacy of our Corps, and rededicate ourselves to fighting and winning the battles that lie ahead. #SemperFi

@leighelse @astroehlein Yes. I doubt those privately-controlled “town squares” had any sense of free exchange ideas.

[Jim Ward Jr @JimWardJr]

@leighelse @astroehlein I do see a big difference between an org controlled by an individual vs one controlled by a board, regardless of profit structure.

[Jim Ward Jr @JimWardJr]

@mgubrud @astroehlein Yes, many newspapers and other media have tight individual control, but few if any claim to be town squares. They provide primarily one direction of communication.

[Jim Ward Jr @JimWardJr]

@MarkHertling Good points. I am remaining to observe and occasionally contribute. I suspect that I will eventually leave. I refuse to pay any subscription or to support any advertiser on the current Twitter platform controlled by an oligarch who has blatant political views.

[Jim Ward Jr @JimWardJr]

@astroehlein I have never heard of a Town Hall or Public Square controlled by an individual (especially an oligarch). That sounds more like media control than media freedom.

[Jim Ward Jr @JimWardJr]

@lukebryan I'm just an average person who has been a fan of your music. I found this extremely disappointing. I think you could have done much more for the natural disaster victims in Florida if you had NOT let Governor DeSantis manipulate you into letting him promote himself on your stage.

@steve_vladeck I have no expertise in law, but basic leadership principles and common sense demand an explanation in such decisions. Lack of explanation implies arrogance and authoritarianism, not justice.
