@MarkHamill @TheRickWilson Just cancelled my subscription. I'll be using this as a case study in my future journalism ethics classes.

I think it's important that everyone who still bothers with Twitter/X reads this article. https://t.co/toGyXnJDAg

@FHEG_Careers I hope the people who apply for this job are treated better than those who were told they had been hired as retail sales people, then informed - when they showed up -- that you had over-hired and wouldn't need them.

[Kim Walsh-Childers @WalshChilders]

@FHEG_Careers Can you please explain why you notify multiple applicants to show up for work and then tell them, when they arrive, that you aren't actually hiring them after all? What kind of management strategy is that?

@elianadubosar @AEJMC_MCS Congratulations!!

To all those in rural areas setting off loud fireworks with no thought to your neighbors comforting terrified horses and dogs — words cannot express how much I loathe you. Your entertainment is torture for others.

Looking for somewhere other than Tractor Supply to buy my horse feed.

@tbridis @TheAlligator One could almost get the impression that top leadership is trying to make UF an unattractive place for faculty.

As much as I once (pre-Musk) enjoyed using Twitter, I just can't deal with the train wreck Musk has made of it anymore. As a media ethics professor, I'm finding it hard not to view my continued use of Twitter as unethical. Deactivating.

And so continues the decline of democracy and higher education in Florida. https://t.co/WYF00MLcwM

Gov. DeSantis is probably using Florida taxpayers' money to support his presidential campaign, and due to a state law passed during the 2023 legislative session, is shielded from disclosing the details of those expenditures.

New College of #Florida board approves bigger contract with the political hack hired as prez. He's now among the highest-paid university presidents in FL system, despite New College being the state's smallest public college. https://t.co/VSqBwX9qPA via @swalker_7

Just so you have the full picture:

The state wants to "raise the bar" for testing in public schools.
Meanwhile, billions of your tax dollars go to vouchers schools that can hire high-school dropouts as "teachers" and operate out of rundown strip malls.

Florida "accountability."
