@MikeIsaac Yes it is possible - not likely but possible - that the woman speaking in the video who said there *were* walk-ins available today is part of an elaborate hoax. — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeIsaac Yeah I’ve seen two different versions which is weirder. https://t.co/pnWicjVZSg And also this in a local fb group, which explained why I heard helicopters earlier: https://t.co/ZTCByBaIeq — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeIsaac I think the Brooklyn vaccine thing is not misinfo or a hoax just a terrible fucking idea with very predictable consequences: https://t.co/32vV9USytV — PolitiTweet.org

A lot to track right now but keep an eye on Australia v Google/Facebook over mandated tariff/subsidies to news biz there. Things ratcheting up. https://t.co/u1X3WXHadr — PolitiTweet.org

@cwarzel I mean, they had promised to start this 4 years ago, when they thought Clinton was going to be in office. So, yeah. — PolitiTweet.org

@bgurley @Lucas_Shaw @emilychangtv @NicoAGrant @mhbergen @benthompson More speech is great and I think discussions like yours below, with context, can be helpful. But easy to slip and slide from here to bad faith/pseudoscience speech, which is not. — PolitiTweet.org

@bgurley @Lucas_Shaw @emilychangtv @NicoAGrant @mhbergen The initial plan was "rely on government/third party guidance" and you can see where that went. — PolitiTweet.org

@davidcho Plenty of spidermans to point at. Just pointing out that a futuristic blockchain fantasy/hope is a weird way to talk about a thing you run now, in present tense. — PolitiTweet.org

To those of you pointing out that Twitter didn't invent terrible impulses and behavior: Yes. But what we're trying to do is figure out ways that don't *accelerate* the problem. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the roll-your-own-Axios we told you about a year ago. https://t.co/ajJeDYAjPB "a sort of white-label version of Axios, which they could stock with their own content and messages and distribute on their own." — PolitiTweet.org

I *think* this is what @jack was referring to in his weird thread last night. But Twitter-on-blockchain seems like an answer to "we don't want to be responsible for kicking Trump off Twitter can someone else do it please", not "how do we fix toxic tribalism on a global scale." — PolitiTweet.org
