GeraldineLook, I am politely asking that if you have children or pets and are traveling with them this holiday season that you PLEASE dress them up as either pieces of fruit or other animals because watching you all carrying a strawberry or koala across the terminal is ADORABLE. Honestly, people, I don't think this is too lofty a request, please think of the rest of us and buy some costumes.

Former lawyer and therapist, now coaching. Banned from Twitter 3x for insulting the tangerine man or his toadies. Here for real journalism.
Dr Harold News ✅BREAKING: Greta Thunberg response to Andrew Tate has been hung in the Louvre.
GRETA, NOW DO ELON.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.Short rant.
Southwest Air has cancelled ~70% of its flights in an epic meltdown this holiday season.
Remember, Southwest took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.
It’s CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.
Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.
Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.
Stop trusting billionaires. Start holding them accountable. And start protecting workers.
End Rant.
David RothschildBetween Murdoch, Mercer, now Musk, along with other sympathetic wealthy owners of media), right wing extremists directly control an absurd portion of news ecosystem. They control the rest of it through complicity.
Limiting access to extremely dangerous content (e.g., medical hoaxes during raging pandemic, explicit Nazi propaganda, or orchestration of insurrection) after a clear deliberative process, is very different than banning whatever content one right-wing extremist decides (e.g., factual reporting that paints a negative picture of one of his companies, or arguments for free speech)
Dan GillmorI don't think journalists (in general) -- and certainly not the organizations they work for -- fully understand the threat Musk represents to the future of free expression and journalism itself.
Begging him to reinstate the banned accounts is pure folly. It is bended-knee supplication to a sociopath who now controls a powerful media company. But the power of his company depends in no small degree on keeping journalists there.
Leave. Now.
Mainstream Media views Twitter as too valuable of distribution to upset its right-wing leadership, that is why NBC suspended a reporter for his factual reporting upsetting Musk. If Musk can suspend any reporter or news organization that he wants at any time, and these entities think they need Twitter, how is they going to affect their reporting on topics such as Musk, Twitter, Tesla, and/or right-wing extremism?
Drew HarwellNo warning. I report on Elon Musk and other topics for The Washington Post and will keep doing so because free speech and transparency are important for the world.
In the last few days I ... wrote about Elon Musk. I posted links to publicly available, legally acquired data as well as links to Mastodon, which also now is banned on Twitter.
Elon Musk is free to ban whoever he wants from Twitter, just like people are free to take their speech somewhere else.
