       @alex @evelyndouek Maybe the real solution is for social media companies to simply ban all political accounts regardless of affiliation? (can't be accused of playing favorites if you opt out of the entire mess)

       @alex I agree on the larger point but I don’t think they’re going to be able to keep a Taiwan invasion secret - D-Day was before satellites and included an extremely extensive campaign of deception (double agents, fake armies) and yet the most we managed to do was sow doubt about whether we were landing in Normandy or Calais.

       @mmasnick What instance is he on? You can either tell them or just block the whole instance.

       @mekkaokereke Reminds me of one of my all time favorite Terry Pratchett quotes:'Algebra?' said Madam Frout… 'But that's far too difficult for seven-year-olds!''Yes, but I didn't tell them that and so far they haven't found out,' said Susan.

       I have to say @timkmak starting a Substack literally for on-the-ground war reporting from Ukraine is a pretty big / epochal moment in the business of journalism; the sort of thing that would traditionally be considered too expensive and complicated to be undertaken by anybody but a large national newspaper.

       @dave Personally, if I see Judge Alito in the cruise buffet line I'm getting off at the next port.

       @dangillmor Sure, but why of all things should the prosecution of a thoroughly deserving white-collar white criminal be the event that causes us to re-evaluate these laws?If we want to re-evaluate RICO, let’s at least do it to the benefit of someone more deserving of clemency.
