I’m only posting here to ask Sam Liccardo @sliccardo why he’s still posting on Elon Musk’s app and what he’s doing besides posting right now

Update: There is a dip on the road on SR-92 westbound, west of upper SR-35 that could become a sink hole if roadway is kept open and vehicles continue driving on that portion of the roadway. Roadway has been closed until further notice for precautionary measures.

Probably the right strategy, but would also make Twitter really suck.

My first order of business, make it where creators actually want to post videos on Twitter and not just link to other platforms

How cool. In every sense. And I’d never heard of or seen the film, which was Louis Malle’s first non-doc feature.

Elevator To The Gallows (1958) score was composed and performed by Miles Davis in a one session recording while he watched a screening of the film. He took notes while viewing the rough cut and then invited 4 fellow musicians to record it without preparation in one go.

It's wild to think that almost any of us could do a better job running this platform.

Calling Matt Taibbi a "conservative journalist" is unfair. He's no longer a journalist.

"ProPublica has a great reputation, which it is eroding with its handling of this article." @JamesFallows thinks it's a "huge mistake" for ProPublica to have stopped commenting on its lab leak story. Here he shares the questions he would ask. fallows.substack.com/p/more-…

For Black Families in Phoenix, Child Welfare Investigations Are a Constant Threat

One in three Black children in Maricopa County, Arizona, faced a child welfare investigation over a five-year period, leaving many families in a state of dread. Some parents are pushing back.

Apparently one of the conditions Matt Taibbi agreed to was to not write a lede.

I wonder what the "conditions" were and whether they were Musk-imposed. (The whole way it is being leaked out from Musk's Twitter onto Twitter itself, via Matt Taibbi's interminable thread, is just weird btw.) taibbi.substack.com/p/note-t…
