After thinking it over all week and talking to a bunch of peers, I've made up my mind. Goodbye Twitter. Also, I think it lots more journalists decided to go (it's surprising how many good folks are still there, as I detail), a big chunk of the advocacy sector would leave too. It's time. https://open.substack.com/pub/theconnector/p/finishing-with-twitterx?r=ef0i&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Finishing With Twitter/X

Enough wrestling with the pig. Time to go.

Fun Fact! Did you know that an external Blu-Ray drive and a copy of MakeMKV is only $115? That is equivalent to about 7 months of a standard Netflix subscription. Fascinating! 💸

Apropos to nothing, a library card is free! Did you know that your library will have almost infinite DVDs and Blu-Rays for you to check out anytime you want? Libraries are cool! 🤓

Just some totally random fun facts that I thought of for no reason at all... 🙃

Who else thinks this is all a power move by Trumplicans to force McCarthy to swear fealty to Trump in order to get the speakership? 🤚🏻

Just finished watching #StarWars #Andor. I loved it! Not everything Star Wars has to be the Force, Jedi, and light sabers. I think that’s why Rogue One is one of my favorite Star Wars movies too. The Empire wasn’t defeated by a single Jedi. It was a sustained effort by the Rebels on various fronts across the galaxy. I love seeing their stories being told.
