Joined our president, VP and others making the Xodus to Threads, where I'm more active now:

The @nytimes "that landed on our driveway in a plastic bag once a week [felt], in some ways, like a more robust connection to the outside world than a 24-hour cable network or the entire universe of news on an iPad. Perhaps solid still means something after analog's twilight".

RT @ear2thepavement: "Every time an employer tries to attach conditions to freelance work that extend beyond the quality of the work itself….

RT @hamiltonnolan: Companies that want to impose conditions on what workers say or do should make those workers employees. Otherwise they s….

Kerning (letter spacing) matters. h/t @ericseals, who posts this on Facebook and comments: "It's important to select the right kind of font and the right amount of spacing between letters when selling flickering Christmas lights."

RT @nickbilton: They need to create a Pulitzer category for headlines just for whoever wrote this.

Quote of the day:. "There is no law that says you have to serve turkey [next Thursday]. It's usually dry and always boring. There are plenty of other options: duck, lamb, goose and roasts, to name a few." -@JRubinBlogger in her @washingtonpost column today. [We'll steam lobsters].

"What will it take to make a difference -- before it's too late? . Will we be able to drink our morning coffee on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024, the day after the national elections, and say that we did everything we could?".-- @StevenBeschloss at @SubstackInc

"If there is a path forward toward peace — whether in two states or one state — it will begin with all of us moving beyond stereotypes. Israelis are not the same as Netanyahu, and Palestinians are not the same as Hamas." -- @NickKristof.

RT @samueljrob: I can confirm AIPAC officials visited Metro Detroit last week to discuss potential candidates to replace Rep. Rashida Tlaib….

"I'm all for surgical strikes against Hamas & I'd be delighted if Israel managed to end extremism in Gaza. I'm afraid that the ferocity & lack of precision in Israel's attack has fulfilled Hamas' goal of escalating the Palestinian issue. In that sense, Hamas may be winning".

"Whichever side you are more inclined toward, remember that the other includes desperate human beings merely hoping that their children can live freely and thrive in their own nation. If you weep only for Israeli children or only for Palestinian children, you have a problem.".

RT @Knibbs: wait until tiktok finds out about the Unabomber Manifesto.

"This is a clash of right versus right. That does not excuse Hamas' massacre and savagery or Israel's leveling of entire neighborhoods in Gaza, but underlying the conflict are certain legitimate aspirations that deserve to be fulfilled.".

Groaner of the day:. "Both countries said that whatever happened, both Biden and Xi would not put out a joint statement after the meeting. So it's just going to be a case of 'He said, Xi said.'" — @StephenAtHome

"Even hyperlocal issues like parking & water mains & whether restaurants should go here or there will become death struggles rather than opportunities for compromise & consensus problem-solving.All will be dropped into the great centrifuge, whipping us to opposite sides to yell.".

🔹"I never imagined antisemitism would get this bad." -- @deborahlipstadt, historian and U.S. special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism. 🔸"The antisemitism in this sub is insane" -- Reddit comment this week under a link I posted to a @nytimes article on Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
