NY Times tucks tail, whimps out on @Threads
Two newsy tidbits here. No links. You want 'em, go find 'em.
First, it appears the Zuckerberg social media platform @Threads is as of this month a busier place than Musk's twisted X-twit. Threads is a happening place, still growing fast.
Second, the New York Times just quit and deleted its official Threads account. They were getting a tremendous amount of blowback as in recent months they have been staggering along on a MAGA-lite path of perdition. They deserved the blowback. But they couldn't handle it.
They just quit. Ain't gonna try anymore. Total freaking whimp out on the world stage.
Well, NY Times, you FAIL. In time when honest courageous journalism is in urgent demand, you are in betrayal mode, just a huge stinking CLOUD OF DARKNESS, adding to the freaking death-of-democracy gloom.
