The inertia comes from a decade or so of J-Schools telling students to use Twitter as a source and places like saying Twitter is important.
If you want to break it, we need the journalists to migrate.

Replying to @BJMendelson
Mastodon is pretty simple. I just wish something would break the inertia preventing people from leaving Twitter.

I do get why people are upset with @elonmusk buying Twitter.
I wish they were more upset that billionaires are openly buying our politicians.

It's crazy to me that, in 15 years, there isn't one viable* Twitter alternative.
*Usable for many and easy to understand and share.
We couldn't do this as a not-for-profit? Really?

If it turns out CM Punk wasn't the instigator of the fight, it's going to make the already bad wrestling media outlets look way worse.

Who called it “public domain” and not “I.P. Freely”?

Not too long ago,
I was saying Disney will probably do a sequel/reboot of Rise of Skywalker.
BEHOLD!

Lots of people tell you to do audience research.
But they never tell you HOW or where to start.
I have a suggestion.
The first place to start is SparkToro.
Over the next 3 weeks I'm going to walk you through how to get the most out of the tool.
Come read more below👇🏻

Mark Zuckerberg spending all of Facebook’s remaining money on a version of Second Life that somehow looks worse than the decades old platform will never not be funny to me

If you're not reading 's The Variants, shame on you.

This is not what happened, . It was never a comedy show and the violence originated with Proud Boys fans and followers.
This factually incorrect story abuses the passive voice and fundamentally misinforms the public.

Blazing Saddles wouldn't be made today because film studios are corporate monoliths. Mel Brooks wanted to show how fucking stupid racism is, and he did so. If he tried to make this movie today, half of YouTube would intentionally misconstrue its intentions.

Just when I'm feeling down about some of the recent MCU choices ...
The Guardians are back to remind us that they're still the best Marvel live action films going.
That Christmas Special looks amazing.

It's symptomatic of the current media ecosystem in general.
No one in the media wants to call a Fascist a Fascist.
Instead, we invite the Fascists on and continue giving them air time like January 6th never happened.
So the Astros just keep skating by.

The thing I resent most about this Phillies/Astros World Series is that it means the sports media will continue pretending that the 2017 World Series was won legitmately.
It wasn't.
Nothing about this Astros team should be celebrated.
Nothing.

Just last week some new random name generator white supremacist with a podcast was making the rounds on here. We are sharing racists and anti-semites message and making them famous. Stop. Our economy is built on attention. Stop making racists rich.

The time to do it, without feeding into the Republican narrative, would have been this Summer.
But the 14th amendment should be enacted by Congress against any person running for office who refuses to concede and recognize the sitting president.

You guys are SO CLOSE. Kari Lake "won't commit to accepting the results" if she loses. Do we have words for this in English?? As your job is to educate voters, CAN YOU USE ONE OF THOSE WORDS to describe a person who rejects democracy to educate voters?? twitter.com/ABCPolitics/st…

In other words, they're going to scare the normal people who don't use Twitter or consume a lot of news by making the IRS into a boogeyman.

The IRS is getting more employees and funding to go after the $1 TRILLION we lose every year through corporate tax avoidance schemes.
They are not looking for you or coming after you.
Pass it on.
The Republicans are trying to make the IRS thing their new "Death Panels!"
