After 15 years on Twitter, I’m off to Bluesky. Every year here has been worse than the last for a decade, and some were a living hell.
Only thing I’ll miss is you. Maybe I’ll see you there, or somewhere else, or in the next life when we’re both cats

This is why I tell journalism students that open-ended questions are better than questions that sound tough. When conservatives first hijacked “woke,” every journalist should have asked them to define it. Cause these meltdowns would have happened a lot.
