Thank you @XfinitySupport @Xfinity for wrecking a third workday in a month’s time with a random outage for which there was no warning.

I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment.

Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate.

We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.

@ScottAdamsSays You remain a stupid, stupid person who should never have a platform. And sure, white supremacy, supporting conspiracies and a culture of bullying -- all great things to vote for. Kudos on your convictions.

@miketaylorw Hi Mike - SFist would like to use your images. Also, the casual carpool images, are those from months ago? What has been your interaction with Gerald?

A piece I did about how more creative types are calling their own shots and making money on subscription platforms. https://t.co/aV0Tl6VXkE

@azeem - Would you be open to answering a couple questions for a new online magazine called Nofilter about your successes in gaining a subscription base for your newsletter on Substack? https://t.co/WhWXkl19CL

@Scott_Wiener @MOWSF Hey Scott - Do we know what the figures are for new Meals on Wheels recipients? And any word on that senior SRO the Altamont in the Mission whose food pantry stopped delivering?

It's only going to take one compelling deepfake - or "cheapfake" - to roil this election season. That's what I'm talking about on today's Inside Social. (Come subscribe!) https://t.co/1HCLMfOfQI

We should all already be wary of political #sponcon for obvious reasons -- but what are campaigns like Bloomberg's thinking when we all know you can't control a meme? https://t.co/Mblz6jJ2fX

[Jay Barmann @JayBarmann]

Everybody's talking about #ImpeachmentEve but what about the news from the @WSJ that Peter Thiel is reportedly advising Mark Zuckerberg on how to handle political ads. @inside https://t.co/Uv0WwvwIhG

[Jay Barmann @JayBarmann]

So now @jack Dorsey thinks that Twitter can remake the entire internet via an open-source, decentralized social media protocol. Discuss. https://t.co/JTbE5FFG5b

@dmccabe @jwjnational @MaketheRoadNY @teddyschleifer Interesting! The differences between Amazon's monopoly and Facebook's are just so huge, though. Could Instagram have been a viable competitor for Facebook? Sure. Would we be in a very different place vis a vis data privacy or misinformation if Instagram were still solo? Not sure.

TikTok keeps saying it wants to cooperate with lawmakers, but now it's hastily postponing meetings with Senators? https://t.co/xph1ZmvGdA

[Jay Barmann @JayBarmann]

TikTok continues to show its shadiness, first revealing that it's been hiding videos by disabled and LGBTQ people, and then reversing its ban on that teen who posted about the Uighur camps in China. (P.S. subscribe to Inside Social already) https://t.co/Z43xTnLsOn

[Jay Barmann @JayBarmann]

Is Facebook too big to ever fail? Or can we foresee a day when users across the globe scatter to other more compelling niche social networks and finally leave it behind? Special edition today of @inside Social. https://t.co/HmOYZgV8MP

[Jay Barmann @JayBarmann]

So, Zuckerberg had a private dinner with Trump and Peter Thiel last month, as @DylanByers reports. Wonder why they wanted to keep that a secret... 🤔 @inside #InsideSocial https://t.co/ARldyRSCz0
