Let's see: I've lived in 9 US states (Mass, NY, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, California, Arizona, Vermont) and England, Belgium, France, Israel, and Japan.
I used to be a news photographer in Washington DC during the Clinton years. I've worked for Congressional Quarterly, UPI, Scripps Howard News Service.
Now I live again in Paris.

On Monday, I wrote an essay about climate and biodiversity for Scientific American. I tracked proportional engagement, calculated as (likes + shares + comments)/followers, over six social media platforms.
The winner? MASTODON, by a landslide.
Second place? INSTAGRAM. It's harder to share posts on IG, but lot of people like things there!
The loser? FACEBOOK, also by a landslide. On Facebook, I've been shadow-banned since August 2018 when they listed clean energy and climate as "socially sensitive topics" so my page there stopped growing 6 years ago and now only about 1% of my followers there ever see my posts. It's actually too bad, because that's the platform where I reach the most conservative audiences through their connections to friends and family. So even though it's dead last, I still persist.
@gruber I just find it very funny how almost everyone who talks about tech online uses Final Cut Pro as a metric for anything and everything, whereas most of the people they're talking to will never, ever, use it.
The same goes for all the next-gen chips: everyone talks about how fast it can compress their videos on their laptops when 99% of their audience will never, ever, be doing that with their laptops.
I realise why, and I'm not against it. I just think it extremely humorous.
This is really fantastic artistic work:

Will Saletan of @bulwarkonline has come out with a huge in-depth article/ebook about the corruption of Lindsey Graham. It's a study on how authoritarianism arose in America and it's available at their site for free starting today. You can even download it as a PDF to read it offline if you wish. I highly recommend reading it and sharing it too.

BREAKING: Starbucks to shut down *all* Ithaca locations as a part of its union busting efforts.
This means that over 30 people will lose their jobs, as a result of Starbucks' illegal anti-union efforts.
Ithaca was the first city that had 100% of its Starbucks stores unionized & now it will the first city to have all of its Starbucks stores shuttered.
The story hasn't broken locally yet (SB did a news dump last night); message me if you want to cover this

Mechanical Cats!
Oh, no! These aren't Steampunk Cats, these are Cats of gears and levers and grease! They squeak when you pet them, they groan when you scritch their bellies!
Happy Caturday!
