People are weird. But also, as an old, the influencer economy is so funny to me. Either they're accepting money/gifts/promotion to "influence" on behalf products, in which case they are just going to stop taking the money? Or they're editorially pure and they're just going to stop supporting a product they have previously genuinely endorsed because more people can enjoy it? It's all dumb.
At my urging, my husband tried making miso caramel and it turned out amazing. Great on ice cream. But also: miso latte
I love the line about "we have 30 tools for [preventing this thing that keeps happening from happening] ". It's marketing-speak all the way down. Like, wow! Thirty tools!
Oh please. Allowing fascists to terrorize queer people and ban books about slavery isn't going to save the Palestinian children. Who are you? I feel pretty confident that if someone wanted to examine your life for five seconds we could see how you bathe daily in the blood of innocent children. Let's start with whatever device you're posting on and the energy that powers it. Let's clean up your life before we consider throwing trans people to the wolves. I'm sure you will gladly sacrifice yourself for the cause.
"Speech code" lol. Calm down, Mary.
Here's something you may not know: When you are gay, you have to come out constantly. That's why famous people "announce" that they are gay. And let me assure you, gay people do not want to be the constant subject of public debate. We are the constant subject of public debate because people hate us and want us to die. And because people who maybe don't hate us or want us to die are really obsessed with making sure that those people have platforms on social media and other mainstream media platforms. So, if it's really wearing you down to hear about all these different kinds of people, maybe go yell at some bigots and the people who platform them?
Trans people actually need to use the bathroom sometimes.
The only thing I care about is: Will this be enough to pull critical mass from Twitter? I don't think I'll ever join, because twitter life made me very unhappy, but the sooner journalists and high-volume celebs move off twitter, the sooner it can be relegated to Truth Social 2 and that, I think, will make the world a slightly better place.
