My dear friend #EllenCarey gets much-deserved attention from @NewYorker. Congrats, kiddo!! newyorker.com/culture/photo-…
I only know what is happening with the owner of this place from the @NYTimes, as I blocked him weeks ago. #GoodRiddance nytimes.com/2022/12/20/techn…

I love getting my electric bill each month. If you possibly can, #GoSolar. (Full disclosure: while it’s always low, my bill is not always zero. But then, we never pay a cent for gas for our primary vehicle, and we heat, cool, and bake with electric.)
Gonna assume, @IMDb and @Amazon @PrimeVideo, that you did not write the description of this movie. But is it okay with you that your service promotes the odious claim that the film “uncovers the true identity” and proves “the true ethnicity” of Jewish people?
The question may be not whether to quit @Twitter, but when. Right now, nothing has changed for users. If @elonmusk screws it up—like he actually lets TFG return, for example—I am fine with leaving. @Instagram is no panacea, but I’ll see you at @artguypix if it comes to that.

According to @NYT, "Government officials are ... posting instructions on social media, in Russian, about how Russian soldiers can surrender safely." I was curious. Wasn't hard to find the instructions, and they are fascinating: visitukraine.today/blog/928/…

MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love.
But together, we can choose a different path forward.
