1/ My 7 year old has written a brief fable as to why if you own one spork, you should get at least one more spork.

(Thread) Image
2/ Once there was a box filled with forks and spoons and knives, but there was only one spork. It's half spoon, half fork.

The others made fun of him. Image
3/ The little spork was so lonely and sad, he just wanted a friend.

All the others had friends, but not Sporky. Image
4/ One day the little spork was just sitting there.

Then... Image
5/ A spork came right into Sporky's box. Image
6/ The spork was so, so, so happy. Then they played for the rest of the day. <Fin> Image

1/ I'm looking for some creative help from the crowd with a little thought experiment. Twitter just announced new rules to preclude unsubstantiated claims of victory in elections and slow the spread of disinfo. But what statements would trigger moderation?forms.gle/x6qx11N7bDgg9x…
2/ Can you imagine a tweet or statement that may walk up to the line of a false claim but may not trigger Twitter to act? Let's collect variations. If I get enough of them of quality to review, I'll put them up for people consider, and maybe Twitter too. forms.gle/x6qx11N7bDgg9x…
3/ Presumably Twitter did some kind of exercise like this internally, or they are preparing to as they train moderators to crack down on offenses from candidates, verified and influencer accounts, and others. forms.gle/x6qx11N7bDgg9x…
