I think that Molly Roberts article in WaPo is what prompted me to revisit Twitter and get triggered.
Not exactly gentle and empathetic pressure from @dangillmor, and to your point, @glyph, it's worth thinking about what that could look like.

I understand. There was a time when my social media reach was far greater than it is now, and it would have been a much harder decision to leave than it was 2 years ago.
> keep that pressure gentle and empathetic
Yep. Maybe I crossed that line today, I dunno, but seeing what I saw there today really triggered me.

I try not to judge people who feel they must remain on Twitter for professional reasons.
But it's getting harder and harder to respect that choice. After a long absence I took a peek at my feed there and this is what I saw.
I'm not naming names. And there are so many of you. How, at this point, do you justify being there?

I'm wondering about this too. Are they primarily distributed via campaign emails (that I don't receive)?
I haven't even found a web archive of them and would like to be able to view the whole collection.

This friendly turtle lives in a tiny pond in a nearby pocket park. Her name is Gertrude, I'm told. She brings me a little peace and relaxation in these trying times.

Although we are on opposite sides of the LLM conversation, I agree with all of what [@baldur](https://toot.cafe/@baldur) says here. Grim news, powerfully delivered, at a moment when many are wondering: "What should I do?"
