Briefly emerging from my Twitter cryopod to recommend this extremely accurate short thread that I definitely didn’t help to fact check

here is the story behind “it’s an arrow, ted,” a “joke” i wrote for #Hoppers, in theaters now. this is part 1 of 2

It’s been a wild ten years, Twitter

[R.H.Slansky @RHSlansky]

Went from “this place has become so awful I never want to sign up for an app like this again, finally I will be free” to “find me on the butterfly app at the same handle” in the span of one day because so much art and music and independent journalism migrated there

By Friday when the new user agreement goes into effect, I’ll have downloaded all of my data and deleted all of my tweets except this thread so Grok can’t use them and gone dormant so no one else can have my user name

Thanks @DiabloMagazine for showing off our east bay roots with the profile of team co-owner Bryan Carmel.  “I stand at the gate at almost every game on the way out, and I thank people for coming.”

Four years of “Fund the Police” that coincided with record levels of deadly police violence nationwide. https://t.co/0VQVssR82S

These 52 Democrats voted to give Trump the power to shut down any nonprofit he wants. The NAACP, ACLU, Planned Parenthood, no organization would be safe. Shameful.

It's going to be wild if the first time a Mayor has been recalled coincides with having the lowest number of homicides in 25 years. It would be the perfect critique of local media.

I miss the brain I had before smart phones.

"The video has been removed."

So the Times realized a video they claimed was showing Israelis getting beaten up actually showed the opposite, so they removed the video. Why not leave the video in and just make it accurate?

Because I am a real journalist, I attempted to get to the bottom of the "Intel has free coffee again" story and learn whether it was a joke https://t.co/3fcZwPOOkk

Ask any woman over 25 if it's unspoken

[katie @katefeetie]

is the left “obsessed” with gender, sexuality, race, etc, or are they just constantly having to defend people in marginalized groups against a right wing that’s ACTUALLY obsessed with gender, sexuality, race, etc

[Hanif Abdurraqib @NifMuhammad]

wow senator what would make you think that

Our reporter in Gaza just filed a dispatch describing how his family has resorted to eating pet food, cooking with bug infested flour and paying exorbitant prices for rotten vegetables (when they are even available).

You're gonna see a LOT more of this - American media is tilting hard to the right, and there hasn't been enough countervailing investment in straight news/investigative reporting on criminal justice. Ceding the field to disinfo experts & ideologues is a disaster in the making

[Jaime Omar Yassin @hyphy_republic]

The last homicide in Oakland was committed on September 30. The decline is almost certainly due to Ceasefire, which was revived under Thao, and was underfunded and understaffed as Oakland's homicide rate increased between 2019 and most of 2023
