I'm teaching Political Rhetoric and Media this Fall semester. Anyone have anything interesting I should talk about ;-)
So, Elon decided Twitter shouldn't be used as it should be and is now limiting tweets and reads. Who would do that? Wouldn't you want your platform to be used? No wonder Teslas self combust.
If you want to do something useful with $8 instead of buying a checkmark... try putting that money towards a charity every month.

#introduction I’m a retired aerospace engineer, worked on the #Orion / #Artemis program from beginning through the Artemis 2 mission launch, before that 18 years on the Space Shuttle.

Interests: #photography / #travel / #nature / #environment / #art / #space / #science / #geology / #gardening / #politics.

All photos I post - other than boosts of others - are my own © Big Bang <-> Heat Death of the Universe, Milian Kurten.

These are from a Nov 2022 trip to Big Bend National Park, #Texas.

They finally took away the blue checkmarks on Twitter. Unless you pay for a checkmark, everyone is equal now. The checkmark showed verification, yes. But didn't the people with the checkmark feel a bit more power over those who didn't have a blue check. Their superiority has been diminished and now they are just like everyone else tweeting into the void.
A mattress topper mattress pad is a game changer. Nice and cushy and cozy.

Businesses: Don't ask for Google reviews.

I am not a big reviewer of services and you might not like what I write.

I went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned and my Dad’s. The whole office changed hands, yet, no one told us. I walked in expecting one thing and received another. It’s like walking into a Whataburger, and they hand you an Arby’s sandwich.

They asked me if I would leave them a Google review. Then the young receptionist said, “Do you know how to use Google?” Ummm… I think I can figure it out to give you a one-star for gaslighting me my entire visit.

I often wonder how much time a person spends when I open my Twitter account; all I see are their tweets. Constantly. Are they scheduling them? But, it's constant academic analysis.
