@nickpunt Thanks! Also add it to your code, so reader tools can discover it automagically :)

@Augmentedrobot @artologica That doesn't look like it closes very tight over the airways... 😨

@Arm_i_n If you mean WhatsApp :) then I already deleted that account last year. This would be the last step in leaving the FB platforms.

@LollyDaskal @WarrenWhitlock This is a quote from a book by the greek author Aesop, right? From The Lion and the Mouse if I remember correctly.

@fiberghost Hi Ahmed! Wow you were quick in noticing this post. Just minutes after I published I received word that another publisher wished to publish on their platform, giving me more viewers. So I unpublished. It's out Monday and I will redirect this link to that page. 🙏 Thank you.

@jakobper Thinking of how Facebook works as well, yes. But just to be clear, while there are several schools that have banned the book, it is still on the curriculum of most schools and a regular recommended read during #BannedBooksWeek

@Mochievous Love this. When I started experimenting with text-to-speech on my blog I realised how much it revealed about lapses in tempo and punctuation.
Having the text read aloud helped me improve the text. I gather I could really benefit from reading aloud _during_ as well.
Thanks!

@Acuity_Design And choosing red letters would allude to the dripping of blood. But they chose white...

@Acuity_Design This poster ad, complete with the word choice and the font choice, really made me do a double-take. 😂

@jakobper When it comes to the US, references to masturbation, profanity and drugs is often enough. There are apparently several scenes referencing masturbation, his artist neighbor walks around naked and the word ”fuck” is used.

@Augmentedrobot @JesperBylund I can truly recommend @TheEconomist. I also support @The_Corres.
↪ Replying to @Scott_Matter
@Scott_Matter Good call. This definitely works better. I'll have to reflect a bit on it.
↪ Replying to @JesperBylund
@JesperBylund @snopes Agree about separating facts and morals. In that wording I meant that 'fact-based' _sounds_ like the moral path.
I like your reference to perspective-based. I'm closing in on connotations like honest, transparent and reflective. These make more sense.
@JesperBylund @snopes Also, this conversation reminds me why I fell in love with social media back in the day. The possibility for conversation around posts.
I feel like the conversations are drowning but I should be more intent on nurturing them.
↪ Replying to @JesperBylund
@JesperBylund @snopes Yes. And I really see what you mean. 'Fact-based reporting' is a term that sounds grounded in morality but lacks the nuances we've just discussed.
The question is, is there a better term for what I'm after, or is everything misinformation to a lesser or greater degree? 😁
↪ Replying to @JesperBylund
@JesperBylund @snopes Agree. This is a good thing. As an example, advertisers pulling out of FB for some reason:
* They are acting on moral values.
* They found a perfect time for "ethics-washing" because nobody is buying anything now and ads make no sense.
* Peer pressure.
These are the narratives.
@JesperBylund @snopes For me then, fact-based reporting would be based on the fact that advertisers are pulling out, but also be open to the many reasons this is happening. Or at least reporting company statements as narratives and not as truth. I see different journos do this better or worse.
@JesperBylund @snopes But yes, stating any of the narratives as fact would be wrong. As would be not following up on whether they actually do pull out.
