@kairyssdal I don't know... there is so much competition.

@kairyssdal Perhaps for the most part, you are preaching to the choir.And the people who "believe" we should not pay our debt are listening to some demagogue or other who feeds their need to feel angry and persecuted.

@kairyssdal Maybe they just want you to do the numbers.

@benjaminwittes Really appreciate this approach: "For those interested in Lawfare’s plans for tomorrow, we will follow our usual playbook on days with major legal news in our space. We will post any documents as soon as they become available. We will then go silent for a few hours while we actually read, summarize, and analyze the material.A reminder that it is not Lawfare’s job to be first—ever. It is Lawfare’s job to be the best analysis available. Sometimes that takes a little longer."

@benjaminwittes I appreciate that you are here on Mastodon and at least sharing some links to your material on other sites. I would encourage you to engage with the community here a bit. There are plenty of good people around (even those not at thecooltable). I recognize that you can't quote-tweet with a "word", but perhaps you can reply to something you agree with using the same ('word").Anyway, wherever you spend your efforts, I hope to continue enjoying your thoughtful commentary.

@atrupar So, which are the wrong conversations? It seems to me like discussing abortion in the context of labor force participation is... a wrong conversation.I'm not at all sure that is what Tim Scott is saying. But I'm not at all sure that he is NOT saying that either.

@benjaminwittes Was the SMO a success? Were they sufficiently annoyed for your efforts? You easily outlasted the umbrella wielding "goon" so that was about as quick and decisive as the Kharkiv counter-offensive. But the V and Z spotlight operators lasted to dawn, so that was perhaps a draw?

@Teri_Kanefield I appreciate your very helpful explanations of legal issues.It is clear that Dominion made a sound decision to settle and the legal system operated as designed.It is understandable that many of us would like for Fox to have had to go on trial. So, we are disappointed, even if justice was served.

@notjustbikes @EposVox @seachanger 1) I have read you can edit to add alt-text later (not sure if that is server, or app dependent).2) I personally want you to spread your message widely, so recommend muting over blocking.3) Please keep promoting your message and sharing links!

@howelloneill I appreciate the reluctance to boost one's own posts.I tend to view the issue of quoting as whether to participate in a conversation (replying to original post), or turn the focus on to oneself (quote tweet).After being here for six months, I personally have developed a preference for the conversational approach, and I like seeing the cascade of reactions as flowing from the original post. I recognize other people might have different preferences.

@grammargirl @jmccyoung @pjohanneson The ultimate consideration I suppose is whether you are prescriptivist or descriptivist.
