I’m giving a flyby on several platforms at our teacher inservice Monday for folks to sign up for further training on. Curious: what would you consider the most vital aspects/tools of Canva to be if you were selling another teacher on it? Thanks!

Speaker Mike Johnson on Fox & Friends suggests Biden's "wide open border" played a role in the New Orleans attack. Again, the perpetrator was born in Texas and served in the US military.

Maybe if Lane Kiffin spent more time focusing on beating a 4-8 Kentucky team at home than tweeting, his team would be in the playoff!

Internalize the fact that FDR was a master propagandist and budgeted messaging into every New Deal project. Despite how it should work, great things do not sell themselves.

Twitter's principal utility (from a content curation perspective) is in journalists' willingness to post there; without it, Twitter quickly becomes 4chan. Journalists, make it happen. The only thing keeping you there is stasis. We can have nice things.

It's pretty remarkable to see what happens when a platform doesn't deprioritize media links. Can't tell you how important that is to those of us in journalism, especially independent outlets like @truthout.org that work tirelessly on our coverage, only to see it devalued by Musk and Zuckerberg.

Other social networks (X, Threads, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) are specifically designed NOT to send traffic to news publishers.

Russ, I appreciate that as someone who believes in a coverup re: the Kennedy Assassination, you don’t subscribe to the outlook that everything is a coverup by default. My dad and I are in that same camp, and it feels like there are too few of us.

This was the whole gang back then.

Shawshank Redemption is my favorite movie of all time. And one of the cool things about Silo is that I keep finding myself getting serious Warden Norton vibes from Tim Robbins.
