welp, I have deleted the tweet archives of http://twitter.com/RealTime1987A. That was a serious astro outreach project. It consistently reached thousands of people. It was on my CV and I was f***ing proud of it. It was fun. And it's gone.
Because Elon Musk couldn't abide a global outreach platform that wasn't also a chaos playground for his white supremacist edgelord friends.
And what like-minded bros at Bank of America and Morgan Stanley helped him? With whose pension fund's money?
I am pissed.

"Mainstream journalists, who are endlessly harangued for their alleged liberal bias, jump at opportunities to strut their evenhandedness, even when it backfires on them." https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/11/22/midterms-mainstream-media-stand-by-red-wave/
That's from the Washington Post's media columnist, Erik Wemple:
What Wemple describes is a major factor. I've been writing about it for years. It helps explain yesterday's staggering "they both lie" tweet from Ashley Parker comparing Biden's mendacity to Trump's.

With a little help from the classic TV sitcom, "WKRP in Cincinnati," wishing everyone who will be celebrating this week a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
