Oh yeah I am very much inside

It is INTENSE out there!

Very much agreed. A Seckel pear, if you can find one (short season, farmers market not grocery store) is divine - firmer, almost apple texture but creamy, vanilla tones.

I think if you can make the case "post elsewhere=more clicks" it can work, especially if there are complaints about *remaining* on X. But this will vary by industry.

Same, here's Roberto Catmente being cute.

All is right.

There is a single compelling reason why one might want to remain on twitter: to monitor and report the unhinged Nazi shit posted by the current class of peta'Q in power. But monitoring their shit doesn't require engagement, it requires watching and analyzing, and this isn't what's being argued.

Right, though I think a quick look at engagement metrics could convince most bosses that they should apportion their efforts elsewhere

Yes but you are never mad too see one at a conference buffet, unlike their perfidous cousin the Red "Delicious"

Oh verily

Very much this! Publishers and organizations should be standing up their own instances, in fact!

Correct, when discussing fruits you really need to talk about the standard deviation. Peach, probably largest; Granny Smith apple, maybe the lowest.

I mean what else are you supposed to do?!??

Who's also writing a book about the far right for a major publisher!

It's really cowardly and dishonest behavior from people whose entire stock and trade is their good word. Not great!

Genuinely sad but here we are

The commentariat has been so beaten down by their dramatic loss of material station that they have adopted the frame of their abusers and have internalized the hilariously stupid idea that interactions on social media yield them cultural power.

I just finished Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obafulon by @wtalabi.com and it was terrific.

This is some gaslighting nonsense and you should really feel bad about it.

Yeah man I haven't! So should I just take your word that it's cool for your pal to indulge in a little bit of deep-cut antisemitism and boosting of a prominent racist because she's cool? Or what. Because that's what happened.

Look man we are all on the Internet, we know what this shit means. If what you're going with is either that she was born yesterday or we all were, well - I think you should try to do better.

She also has an account here, notably does not post that kind of edgelord stuff on it and hasn't commented there at all.

pathetic shit

Anyway it’s pretty grim that otherwise smart people have either been brain-cooked enough or figured out a pretzel-ish justification to just keep doing an indefensible thing, it’s so goddamn straightforward

You’ll Want to Add This Popular French Street Food to Your Recipe Rotation Only three ingredients!

One of my favorite flatbreads/treats generally. Super easy, absurdly tasty.

Yeah it's just not tenable for professional reasons - it would be better to personally email people your articles to drive traffic. Which means people stay because it's a social club they like, and we should treat that the way we'd treat belonging to a club that barred nonwhite folks, women, LGBTQ

Yeah I deeply do not love it.

He's right but doing so is also no guarantee of success! In fact success on those platforms is generally unlikely and not really tied to any consistent approach.

This is a very good summation of where we are at. Some combination of sincere racism, above-it-all fart-sniffing, and ironic detachment among the purveyors of elite discourse has created a truly toxic information environment.

The great thing is when some Discourse is happening but you can't see its origin because Past You made sure to hide that future nonsense.
