For anyone following me, I'm going to uninstall twitter. It has become increasingly less useful for news since Elon Musk took it over.

I think most of the people I communicate with know how to find me if they need to.

Cheers.

This logo was designed in 2012 by a team of three. @toddwaterbury, @angyche and myself,

The logo was designed to be simple, balanced, and legible at very small sizes, almost like a lowercase "e", a 🧵

This tragedy hardly made the news, yet a missing submersible with 5 folks who went to explore the wreckage of the Titanic is front & center on all major channels and publications.

The central problem with any such debate involving a real scientist is that @joerogan's audience is sooooo dumb (& so statistically unsophisticated) that they will never figure out who won the argument.

This is such a perfect example of how media bias really works. It is deeply built into the entire professional model of this sort of reporting--from the preference for conflict to racist norms--and it comes out effortlessly and unexamined in framing like this.

FYI there’s a fake account on here impersonating me and going viral. The Twitter CEO has engaged it, boosting visibility.

It is releasing false policy statements and gaining spread.

I am assessing with my team how to move forward. In the meantime, be careful of what you see.

Here's you, celebrating the passage of the Trump tax cuts in 2017, which were largely a $2 trillion giveaway for corporations and the rich — just part of the $7 trillion added to the U.S. debt under Trump.

🚨🚨🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: The January 6 insurrectionist who put his feet on a desk in Speaker Pelosi’s office has been sentenced to a whopping 4.5 years in prison.

Here’s the best part.

Attorneys for Richard "Bigo" Barnett BEGGED the judge to only give him 6 months in prison.

They argued that because he was a 63-year-old retired firefighter from rural Arkansas who came to DC for his very first time to peacefully protest, he was just caught up in the moment.

The U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper wasn’t moved.

He sentenced him to 54 months anyway.

Federal prosecutors noted in a court filing that a photograph of a smiling became one of the best-known images of that day, symbolizing the rioters control of both the hallowed space and the political process from the nation’s elected leaders.

JUSTICE SERVED.
