WhatsApp-based misinformation campaigns helped make Jair Bolsonaro president of Brazil. The app still serves as a tool of radicalization, and Brazil is feeling the effects. https://t.co/QqShzPNpuT by @DavidNemer

Y’all it is time for Linda Goes To A Bar
Tonight I am at a best western that inexplicably has a hotel bar
And you fucking bet I came down to see what the shit a best western bar looks like

In what is no doubt a total coincidence, a bunch of partially automated Turkish Twitter accounts that have been dormant since shortly after Erdoğan's 2014 electoral victory have started waking up to promote the present invasion.https://t.co/TnczBMbYDZ

"WHAT IT MEANS TO ETHICALLY TRAVEL WHILE HORNY"
This is why it's so hard to grow up in Thailand. Sex tourism is a legacy of R&R from the US-Vietnam War. Ever sit we hut puberty, my peers and I would get sexually harassed by sex tourists by just existing in our own homeland. https://t.co/VlRafmwli0

”8000 years ago, the Tongva and Tataviam peoples, who made their homes in what we now call the Los Angeles Basin, did exactly what many of us have been doing for the last few days: They inhaled the bone-dry air of a wind-scoured fall afternoon and watched the hillsides burn.” https://t.co/HqVkeBqLM4

We keep reposting this stuff. That’s what they want.
5. As much as I hate to post this, given how much people are talking about this story, and that it involves the president's club, his supporters, and an organization that supports him, here's the video in question: pic.twitter.com/qqtllitsIP

Miles to go before I sleep, but here is the trailer for my very first film, Always Open, The Eureka Hotel. It was a real hotel on the same street as The Lorraine. I never knew its history until I became a writer. Thankful that this house haunted me. pic.twitter.com/QOG1mi4ZcB

My amazing son Fox turns 24 today.
An autistic person, he plays life on the hardest difficulty level, economically & mentally.
He’s one of the reasons I’m switching careers. Comics don’t pay enough to support a disabled adult. Animation jobs can.
Love you, Mr. Fox. 🖤🧡💖🦊— Misfit Toy 🧸 Lea Seidman (@SeidmanLea) October 17, 2019

Sorry We Missed You is one of Ken Loach’s finest contributions to working-class fiction. Turning his lens on the gig economy, the film portrays a family battered into crisis by the inexorable logic of the market, struggling with zero-hours contracts. https://t.co/sULXQisaq3

I’ve gotten so much from this app—
jobs
friendships
education
laughter
support for freedom fund
grants
media invites
so many opportunitiesboth when I’ve asked and not, good things happen
so—seriously—I’m genuinely surprised that in 12 years Twitter hasn’t found me a husband

Everyone in USA is depressed, has addictions. Price for maintaining the system.
#MedievalTwitter history belongs to everyone. We would lack so much insight into medieval Europe without the work of scholars of color, many of whom I’ve met on here. This exclusionary idealism pushes them, and my grand-advisor, out of the picture. https://t.co/iUeHHGM2qh

My take on the @guardian's story about Google's funding of climate denial groups:
This isn't primarily a story about environmental hypocrisy. It’s a story about how America’s largest information source is actively funding misinformation.https://t.co/msVcHBGSUd
