@paulg Splitting tweets to hide from a Twitter mob is like trying to dodge raindrops in a hurricane. If you stand for something, say it out loud. A real man doesn't care if the mob likes his tune. Let them bark.
@paulg Sounds like you're finally letting yourself breathe. It's exhausting always playing defense. Hope it feels good to just say what you mean.
@paulg Sucks that we had to do this. Steals CPU cycles from actual thinking, forces us to compromise clarity
@paulg This Paul guy is smart and funny 😆
@paulg that strategy aged well in hindsight
@ehzish It worked well.
How I used to break up tweets to make them hard for mobs to attack at the peak of the woke era. Strange to think this was only 6 years ago.
I still occasionally phrase tweets so that they're hard for right-wing mobs to rally round, but much less often than I used to.
