This Is Your Brain On Crazy 🧠

Watched some of the play about Ann Richards Thursday night (PBS). (Meh; too much caricature. I knew Ann Richards; actually met her once. She was much funnier and more human than that.) She spoke of the need to be compassionate in governance (which did sound like Ann Richards). We are losing that fight every day. I’m sure Elon Musk can fix that, too. Do that. Tell all your friends. I’m sure they’ll make it successful. Especially if YOU set the rules. Bezos will be so jealous he’ll start one; but it won’t be as commercially successful as yours. Just make sure the “Babylon Bee” can stay on (unless you don’t like the “Babylon Bee.” It’ll be your platform, you can do what you want.) You and your friends; the ones who are interested. And their friends; who are interested. You can even call it “The Boring Website.” Or maybe “The Empty Website.” And instead of tweets people can post “empties.”

Well, get your marketing people to work on it.
Yeah, get your people to work on that, too. The “town square” is/was public property (find one still functioning as the metaphor imagines. Go ahead. I’ll wait.) accessible to all. Twitter is a private company accessible to anyone with a computer and internet access. And you can only post on it by agreeing to their rules. Even the town square is governed by laws regarding its use.

Try again.
Be sure brain is engaged before putting mouth into gear. Looking forward to another post.
