I didn't join X. I joined Twitter 14 years ago, damn it. Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

Me — who was replaced by AI after getting laid off — looking at how awful AI is doing at my old job:

Maria Corina calls on Venezuelans to gather Saturday. The opposition will sustain pressure on Maduro, who will likely further repress dissent by force. Considering Maduro has called Maria Corina a "terrorist," I wouldn't be surprised if they try to arrest her and Edmundo.

Venezuelan abuelita doesn't give a damn about the repression and says she's going to exercise her right to march and demand the voting tallies (actas) that will verify who won the election 💛💙❤️

:( Venezuelan defense ministry doubling down to support of Maduro despite opposition's evidence of fraud — meaning things are worse ahead of planned nationwide protests where people who reject election results face years in prison

I wish I was in a newsroom 🥲 spent years of my life covering this and now I'm watching from the sidelines. What a wild 24 hours

"Mano, tengo fe" — how a meme became a movement. Venezuela's historic run in the Copa America soccer tournament coincides with the lead-up to the country's first presidential election after a devastating economic and political crisis. @avpestano/mano-tengo-fe-the-phrase-uniting-venezuelans-worldwide-in-cautious-optimism-0d66977d1682" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@avpestano/man…
