Full of agita re: democracy, doing what I can. I care about nuance, complexity, systems, kindness and living with uncertainty. Working on working on some things.

Wallace-Wells was used, willingly, to push a narrative useful to the GOP. He would likely say, no, I was just trying to explain "why" they believe this. But it's irresponsible to publish this kind of piece without any critical analysis. @[email protected]

I've been plugging away trying to recreate my Twitter lists but am still having trouble adding a lot of accounts and haven't been able to determine a cause. Will let you know if I figure anything out!

Re: ME CD-2

"As election officials continue to count the ballots from Tuesday’s election, it is increasingly clear that U.S. Rep. Jared Golden likely won a third term in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District.

As of 11 a.m., with about 83% of the vote counted, Golden held a 49-44 margin over his closest competitor, Republican Bruce Poliquin."

U.S. Rep. Jared Golden likely won a 3rd term in Congress

Though many votes remain to be counted, the two-term Democrat appears to have a lead too large to overcome

Hey --just randomly piping up here to make sure you realize that if you click on "Browse more on the original profile" you can see the followers of instances that don't show up on yours. It's a little clunky to add from there, but doable. Also there are several lists of journalists as CSVs you can import around. I can prob direct you to them if you want/haven't come across them.

Thanks --I've added a few more and not been able to add a few more from various instances, so still haven't homed in on a correlation / cause but I'll keep at it. Lists have been critical to my Twitter enjoyment so I'm hoping to be able to recreate here...

I've been trying to add new follows to lists, but for many users, when I click on the "+" in the lists popup box, nothing happens. Do you know if there are some users/instances that block users from being able to add them/their users to lists?

Hey Mastadoners!

Question about lists!

I have been trying to add new follows to lists, but for many users, when I click on the "+" in the lists popup box, nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong or are there some users/instances that block users from being able to add them/their users to lists?

**Note: I have been able to add some people to lists and whether I can doesn't seem to correlate w/ their instance...
