Always grateful for the chance to support the NH Food Bank. If you feel inclined and able to donate something to support the 1 in 9 people in NH who are food insecure, I promise to mentally dedicate some portion of the morning's suffering to you... https://t.co/fDEYU8aWm3

@billkole C’mon man… While that’s a totally admirable pace I don’t buy it…

Absolutely brutal. Tragic. And avoidable… if people had understood what they were losing. “Alden Global Capital, the Hedge Fund Killing Newspapers” - The Atlantic https://t.co/d13dN0v9c4

Agreed. “Audiobooks are not to be feared; they do not portend the death of literature on the altar of modern convenience. Their popularity is a sign, rather, of the endurance of stories and of storytelling.” https://t.co/k1iL3ZQ2yX

@Stittr @dkiesow @Outbrain Interesting. And heartening…

[Ernesto Burden @ernestoburden]

@dkiesow Holding #Facebook accountable as a publisher, with the same standards and liabilities as all other publishers, would be a reasonable start.

[Ernesto Burden @ernestoburden]

@dkiesow We need a situation where news sites aren’t relying on traffic that exists on the whim and solely for the benefit of another publisher pretending not be a publisher and whose only journalistic ethic is based on what drives the highest engagement.

I've been off Twitter for half a year, but today's outage, and the amount of negative stuff I've written about Facebook over the past six months, makes me wonder if I ditched the wrong platform... I do think @Snowden's observation re FB is generally true. But my mom misses it.

Facebook and Instagram go mysteriously offline and, for one shining day, the world becomes a healthier place.

@billkole 😂 When's your next race?

“The fun of talk is to explore, but much of it and all that is irresponsible should not be written. Once written you have to stand by it. You may have said it to see whether you believed it or not.” Hemingway said this in @parisreview in 1958. It’s never been more relevant.

@mggcss @vtdigger Hey, congrats!

[Ernesto Burden @ernestoburden]

So... after years now of giving Twitter less attention than it requires and more attention than it deserves, I think it's time for me to acknowledge this platform in its current form isn't good for individuals or the culture as a whole, and behave accordingly. See you, folks.
