@SarahLongwell25 And which of these best describes your work at Berman and Company, Sarah?

[John Doppler @JohnDoppler]

@SamInspired This is NOT from Heather Cox Richardson! And it's extremely suspect that they're attempting to misuse her name.

@neiltyson @elonmusk "He's inventing our future" has always been a means of whitewashing those who destroy our present.

He doesn't get a pass for that.

@drericfitz Hi! Sorry, I didn't see this earlier. Absence from the list just means we haven't gotten to that company yet. We have a very large queue of services to assess, and the process is often time-consuming. Feel free to contact us at https://t.co/2eH3LvFmar to inquire about a service!

@marklevinshow Nothing except your moral compass, Mark.

It's not Twitter spontaneously doing the dumb things. Give credit where it's due.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Please note that Twitter will do lots of dumb things in coming months.

We will keep what works & change what doesn’t.

@victoriastrauss @DavidGaughran The guilty ones always shriek the loudest when you point out their behavior.

Updated #WriterBeware blog post: author complaints continue to escalate at Adelaide Books, which among other lapses appears to have missed every single one of its pub dates for April and May. #WritingCommunity #amwriting https://t.co/ab4qWT1PT7

[Jeopardy! @Jeopardy]

Yesterday’s program included a clue about postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). After hearing from the community, we found we used an outdated and inaccurate term for this disorder, and we apologize.

[John Doppler @JohnDoppler]

Yikes. What a blunder by the @Jeopardy research team. And completely avoidable if they'd (a) consulted an expert, (b) used a reference from this decade, or (c) checked with more than one source.

[Dysautonomia Intl. @Dysautonomia]

@Jeopardy This appeared on Jeopardy tonight. Grinch syndrome is an offensive term. Can you imagine Jeopardy making light of cancer or MS patients with a "funny" name for their debilitating health condition? Not acceptable. We'd love to see real questions about the autonomic nervous system.

@PAddictRecovery Mr. Shea, thank you for your apology. If you would like to see how professional, independent authors are building thriving careers—without traditional publishers or exploitative vanity presses—I invite you to reach out to @IndieAuthorALLI.

Beware parasitic nonprofits like the "National Police Association" (@NatPoliceAssoc), which raise funds through shady telemarketers, but provide minimal donations to the causes they claim to represent.

[John Doppler @JohnDoppler]

For the love of God, @jaketapper, will you please find a new word of the day? "Imbroglio" is tapped out.

@lizhkelly @xncampos @KTLA @KNBC4Desk @FOXLA @SantaMonicaPD More rumors: two brothers were involved, ages 18 and 21. One is in custody, the other was the victim. I'm hoping this is incorrect, but the outlook is grim.

@SatansToast @Klaasje1972 @kimlockhartga @One_Re_li_gi_on @realDonaldTrump I believe the artist is Duff Moses. Excellent work.

@DavidGaughran @IndieAuthorALLI @annerallen @bkmkting @thecreativepenn @bryancollins @ThadMcIlroy @kidsbookcentre @firebrandpub The owner has always shown good intentions in the past, and I suspect this was poor execution rather than malice... but yikes. This was a huge blunder.

We'll be in touch with her.

@Porter_Anderson @victoriastrauss @pubperspectives ALLi's Watchdog Desk will be in contact. ALLi's negative rating is based on a lengthy list of complaints, questionable practices, and unprofessional behavior on the part of AM.

To those of us who have watched @NoKillNation poisoning #nokill and #animalWelfare efforts over the years, this comes with ZERO surprise. https://t.co/c9w8gB6dJ1
