A very good year?

I just realized that 2022 could mark the end of Trump, Alex Jones and Elon Musk.
That’s what I call a great year.

Boycotts don't work unless they know it

This is in reference to Twitter, and the NAACP and other groups calling for a boycott of advertisers.
If companies are supposed to wait until they see a small drop in sales and assume that it may be related to their Twitter ads, the boycott won’t be effective.
Instead, keep a template to cut and paste for companies you see on there and send an email to their PR or Marketing department. A suggestion:

“My spouse and I are planning to buy new (xxx) this month. We are honoring the general boycott of Twitter advertisers until the site establishes sensible content moderation and won’t be considering (your company). If you decide to withdraw your Twitter ads, please let me know so I can consider your product again.”
