@arainert It does get very confusing when there is more than one language, tho, like the Hebrew + Arabic in Fauda. Glad you liked the show! The dubbing stuff was all @ranimolla. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@arainert Yup, I'm also a subtitles fan, and definitely use them for a lot of English language stuff too. Sometimes to compensate for bad sound (like on a plane) or just dense language - or in the case of Nolan films, because of a crazy mix. — PolitiTweet.org

*Whole episode underlines the lurching, inconsistent use of all the platform’s moderation rules but also the extraordinary problems Trump presented over last 5 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Notes: *The fact that decision to suspend Trump made w/out CEO’s input syncs with previous statements from Twitter execs that Dorsey gives them very wide latitude. *Reporting that call was made before Dorsey saw petition will upset employee organizers/activists, who want credit. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

V good tick tock of Twitter’s move to deplatform Trump: *Initial call to suspend Trump made by @jack’s execs; he was in the South Pacific. *He wasn’t happy about it. *Permanent ban call made by Dorsey + few top leaders, before petition from rank and file employees reached him. — PolitiTweet.org

@benyt Is an NYC mayoral voter more or less likely to be engaged in elections twitter than an Iowa caucus voter? I would guess less. Otoh isn't the premise of the Yang campaign that people in NYC have heard of him... in part bc of Twitter? — PolitiTweet.org

But beyond Patreons for specific pods, to date there is zero market for paid pods. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Most logical version of this: Buy some brand name pods (Again, last remaining big independent is now @jacobwe and @gladwell's Pushkin, who was looking to raise $ last year) and throw them into a bigger sub bundle. — PolitiTweet.org

The Apple line for several years has been: *Podcasting can't be a meaningful business for us and *We don't want to be in the podcast advertising business, bc, yuk. Subscription biz kinda solves second problem, but hard to see how it solves first. — PolitiTweet.org

One Night in the Miami gathers Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Sam Cooke and Jim Brown for a conversation about race, power and justice. I talked to @Powerkeni about all of those things, and turning his play into the Amazon Prime movie. He has a lot to say. https://t.co/uNgp6xIBaS https://t.co/36DndYGPKp — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeIsaac @shipboaster 3) sympathetic to well-meaning city reps who want to avoid a mad and potentially dangerous vaccine dash. But calling something a “hoax” that is not is a terrible way to erode the last bits of trust we have. And we need a lot the next few months. Please do better folks. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@MikeIsaac @shipboaster That said, it’s twitter, so: 1) fwiw a bunch of folks in my loca fb are reporting that their *scheduled* shots at same site have now been canceled and 2) it’s in no way surprising that vax rollout would have bumps - even if we had competent/coordinated fed, state and city.
