TikTok is showing me marriage counseling content blaming unresolved trauma for communication issues while Instagram Reels is showing me funny dog videos.
My FYP took a wrong turn in Albuquerque and now using TikTok is an ordeal. They should have a reset algorithm button.
If I were Wapo I would not buy Twitter ads when one of my reporters was still wrongly banned from Twitter

Truly the least effective Twitter ad I have ever seen. Also: a Twitter ad? How pathetic is that, WAPo??? twitter.com/washingtonpost…

I just want car insurance that covers a tiny car from 2015 with less than 40k miles on it driven by a sensible middle aged woman with a clean driving history for less than $1600 a year. How is this so hard.

6 months after switching to for car insurance bc State Farm raised my rate $300, progressive raises my rate $400. Never made a claim. Rarely drive. It’s garaged. Car is worth like $8k and they want me to pay $2k a year to insure it. How could you do this to me Flo?

Although they’re relatively rare, electric car fires present a new technical and safety challenge for fire departments.
As many as half of the 1.2 million firefighters in the US might not be currently trained to combat EV fires, according to the NFPA.

I was laid off last Friday with the entire visuals team while on vacation. Watching the sea was incredibly comforting. Possibilities abound, I know my passion for visual, data things will sail me far. Pls reach out if you see a chance for us to do this together.

visuals are an integral element of a digital publication. they add so much to written stories and they tell their own. We lost more than just people with this decision.
Quote Tweet
really can't say enough good things about @voxdotcom's visuals team, most of which was just inexplicably laid off.
@BitaHonarvar is a rock-star photo editor. @AmandaNorthrop made all of my favorite illos. + many more
a big loss for vox. a big gain for whoever hires them next.

Recode has also lost Rebecca, a talented and curious reporter who can take on anything (and did). She will make your publication better. We started at Recode at the same time and I'll miss her lots.

Vox's loss will be someone else's gain. Jason is an excellent reporter as well as a supportive co-worker. I'll be reading him wherever he goes. Also his book, which comes out in June!

1. Young Jason dreamed of being an NBA free agent but this is the closest I’m going to get: My time @recode is over thx to @voxmedia layoffs & I'm ready for something new. Have an idea for my next gig? Contact info in bio. For now I'll do some writing here

It's official: is running for Senate.
I spoke with Gallego during the heart of midterms season last year. We talked about what it meant to be a fighter, the kind of progressive he was, and why he was so critical of Kyrsten Sinema.
Quote Tweet
Growing up poor, all I had was the American dream. It kept me going: as a kid sleeping on the floor, a student scrubbing toilets, a Marine losing brothers in Iraq.
Today, too many Arizonans see their dream slipping away. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to win it back for you!

"effectively" doing a lot of work here
Quote Tweet
Media leaders & CEOs, if you want to know how to communicate layoffs effectively, Jim Bankoff is good example
-He has always been transparent w staff & public about the # of roles impacted, which depts, & why
-Vox never does drip, drip, drip cuts
-Employees always told first twitter.com/sarafischer/st…

Banning noncompetes would mean that workers have more freedom to switch jobs for higher pay or even start a business.
This action was part of President Biden's executive order to promote competition and would increase wages for millions of workers.

I’m sure clout is more important to her than this, but I can’t use this person as an expert in my articles if she can’t admit that she got something wrong and take basic measures to stop it from continuing to spread around the internet.

Really disappointing that this tweet is still up, days after Romanian authorities said it isn’t accurate. You know you got this wrong; take it down.
Quote Tweet
Romanian authorities needed proof that Andrew Tate was in the country so they reportedly used his social media posts. His ridiculous video yesterday featured a pizza from a Romanian pizza chain, Jerry's Pizza, confirming he was in the country.
This is absolutely epic.
