Prominent folks:

Millions stay on Twitter because that's where they hear from you. That includes reporters.

YOU are giving Twitter viability and credibility.

If YOU leave, the people who want to hear from you will go where you are.

YOU are making the choice to keep others on Twitter.

My GenX rant is that I want to log in with my username and password, not a code sent to text or email.

I support the Guides and their historically accurate context given on the tours. Didn't "Hamilton" and the Monticello tour updates show us that TJ wasn't perfect?
While the university has ended the group's special status designation, with the support of the student body, student guides are doubling down on their commitment to share their campus’ history.
UVA Tried To Shut Down Its Historical Tours Discussing Slavery. These Students Resisted.
A conservative alumni group took issue with the discussion of difficult parts of UVA’s history.

Got a correctly-marked-as-spam email today that started, "Dear Precious Customer," and why *don't* we address our customers that way?

This "star cam" from Golazo makes the match unwatchable - I can ONLY see Trinity Rodman and a few yards around her, even when the ball is down field.
We found the NWSL final but the camera is tight on Trin and only on Trin.

Soooo we’re sort of getting to watch the match?

Tried out two new-to-me "eggnog-style" drinks - one based on almond milk, one on oat milk. Both get a thumbs up, solo or added to coffee!

Hey Americans, feeling politically powerless? You have an election tomorrow. Fascists are targeting those boring state and local positions and using them for everything from abortion restrictions to book bans to criminalizing trans healthcare. It's up to you to stop them.

Election Day is tomorrow, and here in Virginia it's not just the local races that help shape your neighborhood, police, schools and more--every seat in the General Assembly is on the ballot. If you need more of a pep talk, please read this short essay I wrote in 2012. robpegoraro.com/2012/11/05/w...
Why we vote
Because you want your candidate to win. Because you want the other candidate to lose. Because you can express your distaste for everybody on the ballot by writing in somebody else. Even yourself. Beca...

TIL that the pain from social exclusion and physical hurt look the same in the brain. My info came from a conference keynote from Xavier Clark (alumni.gmu.edu/s/1564/GID2/...), and here's an article that explains the science: kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10....
