Interesting. Ok, Lauren. (But that Biden Rolex thing seems to have been a real whiff, among others. I bet there’s a long list somewhere.)

‘Nuther good thread, on layoffs that indicate our economy is really unhealthy. And, incidentally, what layoffs after a merger do and don’t look like.

the apocalypse, but make it fashion. ✨ (@ElleArmageddon) Tweeted: Hey uhh… Just in case you’re struggling to read the writing on the wall, layoffs at *delivery apps* *in a pandemic* are yet another pretty solid indicator of economic crisis!

Hey, @nytimes, I’m a subscriber, for now, still, after everything that you’ve done over the last few years. You need to make this right.

(Everybody else, read the whole thread.)

Josh Shahryar (they/them) #BLM (@JShahryar) Tweeted: I just want to ask this, @NYTimes. How did you see this picture… of a woman with stitches on her lips. On her way home from the hospital with her only support in this critical time. Being stalked about fascist scum. And thought, “Firing her is a good idea.” https://t.co/X1RcknL5zA

The only thing I have to say to the 74 million of you who voted for this is: Really?

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (@ReichlinMelnick) Tweeted: This is a standard order issued following every transition, but today it feels so important because of how many horrific things were in the pipeline. Here’s a brief thread about some of the terrible anti-immigration regulations that didn’t make it across the finish line. 1/

Bingo.

A.R. Moxon (@JuliusGoat) Tweeted: Conservatives mean two separate things whenever they talk about “cancel culture.” One is social consequence for an exposed pattern of empowered abuse. They hate it.

Huh. Something i never even heard of. Stay away from Statista.

Alec Stapp (@AlecStapp) Tweeted: Reminder that the House Judiciary Committee report on tech antitrust from last October cited Statista ***20 times*** This is like citing Wikipedia, except it’s worse because Statista doesn’t even tell you the source for the original data unless you buy an expensive subscription.

Emotional wisdom from the military.

Lethality Jane (@LethalityJane) Tweeted: I struggled a lot over the past 18 months or so, and something that exacerbated it was a spiral of self-hatred and shame when I was failing at things. Turns out that’s a symptom, not something helpful.

«Senator Lindsey Graham has criticized McConnell’s decision to blame Trump for the Capitol riot and has warned that, “without Trump’s help” in 2022, “we cannot take back the House and the Senate,” adding, “If you’re wanting to erase Donald Trump from the Party, you’re going to get erased.”»

P.S. Hey, New Yorker, maybe you could highlight in magenta every word in which you use a diaeresis, or wrap them in BLINK tags. I know you’re very proud of them, and I wouldn’t want to miss a single one. I don’t think it would significantly reduce the reader’s flow any more than it already does.

I live not too far outside of Chapel Hill NC, and I hear coyotes at night. In January.

The world turn’d upside down.
