Who’s your favorite woman writer and why?

@its_jessi_grace A group of crows = murder. Our backyard has been a haven for crows giving our family time to note their intelligence. My daughter was a crow in a play. Method acting.

@nathaliejacoby1 If there’s also a gun rack, stay back 100 yds. No gun rack, they’re packing pistols, so 60 yds. should be sufficient.

@AuthorGFAllen Originally, I wrote “Fluid” in third person. To survive in Ancient Greece, circumstances drove the protagonist to pass as a man. I changed to first person and loved the process and result. davidsecunda.art

Do you write your story in third or first person? I naturally write in third person but I feel like I should be going first person 🤔

@PicturesFoIder Last week I found a bear in my carport.

You have to survive 20 minutes with one of them for $100 Million Which are you picking?

@MargaretAtwood Anti-intellectual sentiment disqualifies many of the best candidates; charisma can disguise intelligence’s disadvantage in US politics..

Don’t make assumptions about people based solely on their age, please. I’m older than B. I could have been his babysitter. And yes we can both still draw clocks.

@JGordonBramer Common sense is a construct…popular beliefs, aphorisms, non critical thinking, unverified conclusions. One person’s “common sense” is another’s propaganda.

@OccupyDemocrats Not an issue for those who overlook insurrections, election tampering, financial fraud, climate crises even when a hurricane knocks down their house, and rape.

BREAKING: NBC drops bombshell, reveals that Republican 2024 presidential candidate Governor Ron DeSantis just abused his power by demanding that a federal judge delay Disney’s massive lawsuit against him until AFTER the 2024 presidential election. But it gets even worse… DeSantis also demanded that the judge simply THROW OUT Disney’s lawsuit against him because he claims that he has immunity that “shields” him from being sued for creating laws that target Disney for supporting America’s LGBTQ+ community. Disney is accusing fascist DeSantis of acting like a dictator by using the power of the state to “weaponizing the power of government to punish Disney for its protected speech.” DeSantis wants the judge to delay the trial until August of 2025, a whopping THREE years, because he knows that Disney is going to win their lawsuit again him — and he doesn’t want to be embarrassed in front of voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that the judge MUST DENY DeSantis’ shameless demands — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $2.1 million raised from 5,300 of its users. If you want to own a small piece of what is quickly becoming the “next big thing” in social media, here is the link to do so, wefunder.com/Tribel. You can invest as little as $100 — or as much as you’d like. Here’s the link to download the new Tribel app that Elon Musk is so afraid of: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb

@PSLiterary The Wizard…underneath the bravado, lurks insecurity…his vulnerability is a haven for lobbyists, conspiracy theorists, and Russian bots.

Tell us about a library or reading room that you love.

@nathaliejacoby1 The Wizard—McCarthy sees himself as the puppeteer, but when the facade falls away, Trump pulls the strings.

@DanKnightMMA Which mouthpieces of the political elites? Many journalists nurture their objectivity and verify source information. Others spew ideology and misinformation and endanger our democracy because unfortunately many readers cannot distinguish facts from opinions.

#BREAKING Ladies and Gentlemen, let's dive straight into this. The Canadian government has recently passed Bill C-18, otherwise known as the Online News Act. On the surface, this may seem like a benign legislative move meant to protect the interests of Canadian news organizations. However, when you peel back the layers of this bureaucratic onion, what you find is an alarming attempt by the Trudeau government to prop up legacy media at the cost of our freedom to access information. Here's the crux of the matter: Bill C-18 requires tech giants like Google and Meta to pay Canadian news organizations for their content appearing on these platforms. Sound reasonable? Maybe at first glance. But what it translates to is our government deciding which news sources are deemed worthy of compensation and which are not. That's a dangerous precedent to set, as it inherently favors the traditional media outlets that have for years been in bed with the ruling class. Now, I want you to consider the reported $329-million cash injection the Canadian news industry is set to receive because of this bill. Think about that for a moment. At a time when we're grappling with economic uncertainty, our government decides it's a good idea to pump hundreds of millions of dollars into an industry that has consistently failed to adapt to the digital age. But why would they do this? Well, the answer is simple. These news organizations are the mouthpieces of the political elites. They're the ones who toe the line, push the narrative, and help keep the powers that be in power. And who's leading this charge? None other than Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez. Rodriguez has positioned this bill as a means to address the "market imbalance" between news outlets and tech companies. But let's be clear: there's no market imbalance here. What we're witnessing is the natural evolution of an industry, with consumers choosing digital platforms over traditional media for their news. The problem isn't Google or Meta. The problem is that legacy media outlets can't compete with the real-time, diverse, and often more balanced news that these platforms offer. Instead of accepting this reality and adapting, the Trudeau government and their pal Rodriguez are trying to keep their buddies in the legacy media alive with our tax dollars. They're not just meddling in the free market; they're actively resisting the evolution of the news industry. The market is speaking. Independent news sources, like us, are thriving because we're not chained to the archaic practices of the past. We're nimble, we're innovative, and we're not afraid to question the status quo. We're not the ones in need of a government handout. So, let's call Bill C-18 what it really is: an act of desperation from a government that's too entwined with its media cronies to let them stand on their own two feet. It's not about protecting journalism; it's about protecting their narrative. This is just another example of the ineptitude of the Trudeau government, who'd rather prop up a dying industry than foster innovation and allow the free market to decide who succeeds and who fails. #Cdnpoli
