Quick Hits 1

I'm going to try a new format for the next few days. I'm just going to put a bunch of sidebar items into a main post. Not for all posts, just for a few scattered posts during the day.

My notion is that these are easy, quick posts for me, but it will also tend to promote more chat and reactions from the commenters.

Also: I don't post a lot of stories because I sit around all day waiting to think of a Really Good Blog Essay to Write About Them. Of course, 95% of the time, I can't think of anything to say except the very obvious, and I wind up not posting it at all.

So I'll post this stuff in quick hit format to make sure it's at least on the blog.

Pre-election, Twitter made it harder for posts and stories to go viral. This made the Corporate Media more important, because their stories always get seen. Their stories are, in effect, "always viral."

It's people outside the Corporate Media who need virality to get their stories seen.

And twitter turned that possibility off for the election.

But now, post-election: Hey everybody, we're letting stories go viral again!

When do we declare war on the media?

One of these got the Twitter misinformation warning, the other didn't.

Guess why.

The kids are all right.

Hey everyone, make sure you buy Ritz Trans Crackers for Christmas!

It's the cracker that comes with its own pet pronouns!

Finally, a couple days old. But important.

Obviously, if you're a man and you see an Aggressive Karen "Male" doing this to a woman, interpose yourself and intimidate this sissy. Don't hit him unless he gets aggressive. But if he does -- no jury in the world would convict you.
