I study emerging tech, representation & professionalism in journalism
Maybe Nikita Bier can read our study on why journalists left Twitter.
You can’t have trolls and conspiracy theorists mimicking journalists.
The big picture is that tech moguls can’t stand a marketplace of ideas which they can’t control.

i think a (perhaps underappreciated) aspect of this whole situation is the extent to which every elite profession is filled with people who excel at drawing attention and want to be famous more than they want to do the actual job

Just discovered an insane new form of co-intelligence where you briefly share the mind of a great thinker in history and then a portion of their mind travels in yours for the rest of your life. Calling it a "book."

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.
They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.

College is not trade school. Trade school is trade school.
Trade schools are wonderful and important places. But they are a specific thing.
The value of college is more than the job you get when you graduate.
