Forget the edit button, Twitter should have a "stop spread" option on tweets.
It's perfect for when that half-baked tweet you sent after a few glasses of wine is getting way more reach than you expected and you want it to stop, but you don't want to delete it.
I've noticed that most tweets that do well go through a sort of cycle:
1. People who follow you and "get you" like and respond 2. People who they reach respond and engage 3. It keeps spreading to people who have no idea who you are and just want to dunk on randos
Something spreading can feel fun in the beginning then quickly become very unfun.
Especially since negative sentiment seems to spread faster than positive sentiment.
This would actually be one of the best things @Twitter could do to reduce harassment, I'm kinda surprised it's not an option.

Since moving to Texas I've bought three guns now: two hunting rifles and one handgun.
Myself and most responsible gun owners I've talked to agree that it is way too easy to buy guns, and there are so many reasonable restrictions that could be put in place.
Again, pretty much all gun owners I talk to are pro reasonable restrictions on gun ownership!
Pretending like anyone who owns a gun is "crazy" for wanting one only alienates reasonable gun owners, especially since there are plenty of legitimately good reasons to own a gun.
Part of why I think it's interesting is it blends a variety of traditionally liberal and traditionally conservative values into this new techno traditionalist lifestyle, I suspect it'll grow over the next decade.

I wonder how many of our mental and physical chronic diseases are attributable in part to spending way too much time inside.
I’ve been tracking alcohol and weed consumption, exercise, time outside, time with friends, diet, sleep, etc, and I can say with pretty high certainty that time outside and time with community are the two biggest factors for my sense of well-being.
I’ll sometimes start to feel anxious or depressed in the afternoon, and when I do it’s always a day I spent most of my time inside.
Worse if I was inside all day and didn’t see any friends.
