David Whelan, brother of Paul Whelan: "It is so important to me that it is clear that we do not begrudge Ms. Griner her freedom. As I have often remarked, Brittney's and Paul's cases were never really intertwined.” nbcnews.com/news/world/fam…

This.

Kyrsten is the worst kind of hypocrite. Believe it or not, her core beliefs align with the progressive values of @TheDemocrats, BUT there is nothing she won’t say or do to increase her notoriety or importance. She will abandon values and friendships to climb to the top. (9/10)

2/ Several times references were made to “no known motive” and “no known suspects”. At the very end of the report it was noted that it “may have been related to a drag show”. Complete, cowardly, misleading and dangerous fail @NBCNightlyNews. You’re part of the problem.

Kroger wants to buy Albertsons and form a grocery empire with near-monopoly control in U.S. cities. It's released a list of benefits that customers will see from the merger. What do they have in common? They all make Kroger more profitable. perfectunion.us/kroger-alberts…

SpaceX employees re-coloring a giant dong cake and giving it to their oblivious child-king Elon for his birthday as a "rocket" cake is *chef's kiss*

This is *exactly* as I imagined, and provides the most straightforward explanation for anyone still trying to grasp at complicated theories on how the "SpaceX genius" could possibly be so bad at this. tumblr.com/numberonecatwi…

Dems hanging onto the Senate in this environment is one of the most remarkable political stories. And it’s largely thanks to voters under 30, women, and black voters. Remember that when the media unleashes a *wave* of old, white, ossified men to tell you what to think.

Well, that didn't last long. As our "official" designation vanishes and our @Twitter blue check mark is probably next to go, a quick note on best ways to confirm the identity of government Twitter accounts around you.

I also periodically running Debirdify. This find ANY my follows who have added a mastodon tag to their twitter bio and dumps them as a CSV. I can then import them into Mastodon. IMPORTANT: Make sure you add your OWN Mastodon handle to your twitter bio. pruvisto.org/debirdify/

Right. As a heavy tweeter/content creator who is now maintaining BOTH a Twitter and Mastodon presence, here is a short guide to what I have set up, how to do it and lessons I've learned, for others. TLDR: It's been WAY less hassle than I expected thanks to tips from followers /1

just so were all clear, Musk is firing half of Twitter's staff, including huge swaths of their content moderation capability, four days before opening up identity-confirmation-free verification to the whole website which will happen...the day before a national election.

Yesterday was my last day at Twitter: the entire Human Rights team has been cut from the company. I am enormously proud of the work we did to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, to protect those at-risk in global conflicts & crises including Ethiopia,

I am officially no longer the Engineering Manager for the Accessibility Experience Team at Twitter. I have words. 🧵

Wow. Didn’t know Bo Burnham was a real one. Couldn’t be more relevant

@KillerMartinis Exactly. However, one thing is consistent across every version of the rumor: everyone is laughing at him. And for him that’s got to be the worst. I’ll take it, I guess.

Seems like a good day to remember that the whole "bootstrap" thing is a lie.
