been messing around with twitter last week or so and there are some interesting problems:
with the intro of "For You", tweet discoverability for high-follower accounts is tanking. i THINK it has something to do with old verified badges and wanting to get people to pay for Blue

Last week, Twitter announced they were going to be shutting down free access to their APIs. While there are a lot of malicious bots that take advantage of those APIs, there are also a lot of incredibly important use cases that serve the broader public interest.

This morning, many Dunwoody residents, of many faiths, woke up to really disturbing anti-Semitic fliers that were dropped in their driveways. The purpose of activities like this is to cause fear and divide us.

To every Missouri kid out there: you belong. There are people like Becky Sauerbrunn and who will fight for you to be who you are and find out what you’re made of through sports. Your story is our story, and it’s far from over.

If Missouri legislators want to take up the real threats to girls and women’s sports, my DM’s are open. Hint: the real issues are insufficient enforcement of Title IX; underinvestment in programs and facilities; inadequately trained and poorly vetted coaches…

Not sure if non-LGBTQ+ folks know how powerful it is to see a woman superstar’s wife and children introduce her at the Grammy’s. But this 42-year-old is sending a message back to her 17-year-old safe to hang in there.

I wrote a story for on how Missouri and Montana are the last states that don’t ban all drivers from texting. I also looked at whether such laws actually make roads safer.

Bills are moving through the MO senate to deny my 11yo child access to sports (SB39), school spaces that reflect her identity (SB 134), and affirming healthcare (SB 14). This is an onslaught and it’s on purpose. Please call your senators to oppose these bills.

The premise of this report on the future of local news is that the focus needs to be on expanding civic information, not "saving" legacy orgs. It aligns with our mission. I worry not enough attention is paid to civic info needs in smaller cities and rural areas.

I've plugged a few different ways to find folks you follow on Mastodon, but Mastodon Flock has by far the most creative UI and can auto-add people--if you're okay with granting it write permission to your Mastodon account. h/t to for the link.

The most extreme “Don’t Say Gay” bill in the U.S. is up for a public hearing on Tuesday, Feb. 7. A trans birth certificate ban will also be heard on the same day and a trans youth athlete ban is expected to be debated on the Senate floor any day. They are trying to exhaust us.
