A door monitor told me I wasn’t allowed because it’s a closed meeting and I told her, “I’m aware, that’s why I’m not inside.” Then her colleague spoke into her lapel and this Metro police officer showed up and is still here #NARLegislative

You owe it to yourself to:
1. Check what your company will pay new hires
2. See if you're paid to industry standards
3. Have convos if you deserve more $$$

Let's talk about how to accomplish all that. 🧵:

"The essential truth of every social network is that the product is content moderation, and everyone hates the people who decide how content moderation works. Content moderation is what Twitter makes — it is the thing that defines the user experience." https://t.co/wEZtU7vKAg

So the big NYT article about California high speed rail is not actually saying anything new. It's the latest from a former LA Times reporter who spent the last 12 years writing based hit pieces about the project. I shut my blog down years ago. But it's time to debunk him again.
