This will only be effective if EVERYONE refrains from tweeting (X-ing?) on August 1st a/k/a #TweetlessTuesday. Let's show the owner the POWER OF THE PEOPLE. Honestly, would it kill you to keep your thoughts to yourself for 1 damn day? Read a book! 👀 #August1stTweetOutDay

@jennytahoe @ksorbs Hey Jenny! It’s true, no takers so far. Maybe $500 was too steep? 🙂

@PascalPixel @LinusEkenstam Historically, society adapts as a ‘bar’ is lowered, but there’s a ‘tipping point’ where the speed of change (and adaption required) are too great for society’s ‘safety mechanisms’ (legal, financial, political). Happy to forward some ‘progress studies’ papers on the topic.
