Since Twitter is no longer enforcing COVID disinformation rules, here is a false fact about COVID: COVID is more scared of you than you are of it.

Maybe, in fact, the world needs a thread of false statements about COVID, now that COVID disinformation is all legal and appropriate.

(2) COVID will leave you alone if you leave COVID alone.

(3) COVID isn't so a much a communicable disease but a state of mind.

(4) What does not kill me makes me stronger, Nietzsche said. Long COVID makes me stronger.

Then there's @anneapplebaum and "Red Famine"--which you should read. And @dietellewoods for impressing on me the book's importance in a particularly interesting way.

And there's @AndreaChalupa and Agnieszka Holland and @OlgaNYC1211 and @MrJones_Film.

@naftalibennett

And then there's the entire outgoing Israeli coalition, with specific attention to @naftalibennett and @yairlapid--as well as the Ra'am party.

@maddow

a praise for @maddow's terrific podcast series, "Ultra"--even though she has ignored my repeated importuning to come talk about it on the @lawfareblog.

Also, today's #BeastOfTheDay--who reminds you that she no longer appears on Twitter.

I do not intend to share a platform with Donald Trump again—at least not more than I have to. I will not exit Twitter entirely, as I have Lawfare content to promote and Twitter is useful for many things. That said, I don’t plan to spend time here any more for purposes other

than reading news and promoting our work. For those who wish to follow my work, thoughts, and sillinesses, I will be migrating most of that to Substack and Mastodon and Facebook/Instagram.

I am not leaving, but I’m leaving, if you know what I mean.

It’s been real.

I love you all.

@joshgerstein

The Dulles Silver Line report—in honor of @joshgerstein. I report. You decide.

Steps from C Gate to Metro Platform: 1698

Marginal steps to Metro platform from Ground Tranportation area: 859

I may have ridden the Metro to the end of the line—just for posterity.

Okay, so here’s the critical question: how long does the Dulles-to-Metro Center run take? We gonna find out—excluding my eccentric detour to the end o’ the line. Metro is turning around now.
