The reaction to this is similar to the reaction I've gotten when I say social media users shouldn't get influencer payouts. It's like the platforms have trained people to think that this is their job or they're making a difference.
Dicking around is a perfectly cromulent use of one's time!

okay somehow this totally banal observation about the relative scale and influence of social media platforms has made some people extremely mad
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

Whoa hold up, a healthcare system where the wealthy get better healthcare? I’m not following you Mark this is all strange to me.
Are you ok with rich people having access to the most expensive doctors and hospitals and you don't because the gov won't pay for it or they opted out of the Universal care program ?
Do you think it's right for doctors and nurses to only work for what they think is a living wage ?

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵
