    Am disappearing from the face of the Earth (or at least this website) for a month-ish. Let’s be careful out there.

    Twitter had it exactly backward when they changed the platform so it wouldn't cost you characters to reply to multiple people. It should cost you MONEY to reply to multiple people.

    The unvaccinated are the only people who should be freaking out right now about today's C.D.C. report on Delta variant. Yes, the unvaccinated among you should be very, very concerned.

    "They don’t hate the house, they hate the Hudson Valley. They always had this fantasy about what living in the Hudson Valley would be like, but once they got there, it was cold, not a fantasy anymore, and they wanted to go home."

    Yes, I closed replies on this, here’s why and why I wish more people would at least think about it, esp in journalism & people with large follower counts.

    I know a lot of people hate the idea of limiting replies on Twitter. But more and more I'm bothered by how a popular tweet--say, about vaccines--can become a vehicle for people to spread absolute lies in the replies, to a far bigger audience than they'd get on their own.

    One issue now is needing to communicate: You can get COVID from Delta even if you’re vaccinated BUT it reduces your chances and protects you from hospitalization/death BUT you can still spread the virus. People being people, they don’t want to read past one BUT let alone two

    To Adam's point: I'm for loosening rules to protect individual right to expression. I'm unlikely to ever march - I cover the things I'm passionate about. If I'm at a protest, I've got a notebook. But should my friend the music reviewer be banned from marching? I don't think so

    Fwiw I think this is a mistake. It’s one thing to be open about your perspective (and I very much am!) but I think participating in rallies or demonstrations et al is different. I have my sympathies but I’m not a part of any movement

    I want someone to collect every tweet we did about Bob Odenkirk today and present it to him in a bound volume.

    There are a lot of performers who are admired and respected the way Bob Odenkirk is. There are only so many who are liked and adored the way he is. Hope he recovers and sees the outpouring he's inspired.

    Journalists wanting to witness something first hand for themselves, what is the world coming to

    🚨 Update on this 🚨 We have NO NEXT DATES for bargaining on our calendar because management said it has "concerns about the Guild’s continued insistence on bringing [an] extraordinarily large number of observers.” This from a company that supposedly champions transparency?...

    You can have "my personal choice is paramount" or you can have Jesus, but you can't have both.

    Anyway, I've seen thru tonight's also excellent episode, and hoping season 2 finishes on a really strong back half like season 1 did.

    It's a small thing, but makes a big difference, how the episode has you see each character send a text and then the other later read it: TV mostly likes to use texts like a form of telepathy where people share thoughts instantly rather than see them at different times/contexts

    Late to this, but the 'Somebody Date Me' episode of 'Dave' was remarkable. It's been a while since I've seen a show do anything interesting with text/app communication, and there's something 'High Maintenance'-y about the interconnected storylines.
