TWITTER ADVICEš§µ: The following thread is my own experience and understanding of how you can leverage the current Twitter algorithm to increase the reach of your tweets. My subscribers get early peeks at this sort of advice but eventually, I share it broadly. Let's go! twitter.com/i/web/status/1ā¦
TWITTER ADVICEš§µ: @chrismessina formerly @factoryjoe came up with the idea of using #HASTAGS on Twitter. It was a wonderful invention but its time has passed. The Twitter algorithm penalizes tweets that use more than one and in my experience, even one can handicap a tweet.
TWITTER ADVICEš§µ: Never use Twitter's wonderful article preview feature. Twitter penalizes article links. If you want to include a link make sure you include a picture from the article (or related) to override the article preview. Twitter loves media posts.
TWITTER ADVICEš§µ: A better strategy for including links on Twitter is to create a mini-thread. The 1st tweet includes your message and a screenshot of the article. The 2nd tweet includes a link to the article either using the link preview feature or a picture from the article.
TWITTER ADVICEš§µ: Always 'like' and 'bookmark' your own tweets. At the end of the day, if you don't like your own tweets why bother tweeting them? Twitter loves signals and likes and bookmarks are signals.
TWITTER ADVICEš§µ: Find your best-performing tweets over the past 72hrs and turn them into threads. Each time you add a tweet to the thread you boost the visibility of the first - as much as 10X. Include flashbacks, updates, and additional sources.
TWITTER ADVICEš§µ: Unblock everyone. Only use BLOCK if someone is threatening you. Instead, use MUTE to make Twitter more enjoyable. Twitter penalizes the use of blocks and rewards mutes. The best part of MUTE is the fact that the target has NO idea you aren't listening.
TWITTER ADVICEš§µ: Never limit replies. By definition doing so will limit the reach of your tweets significantly. Again, if people are trolling you just MUTE them. Very quickly your experience on Twitter will improve and your reach will grow.
TWITTER ADVICEš§µ: Never reply to trolls. If you must, take a screenshot of the comment and include it in your tweet w/o a link to their handle or tweet. Replies boost visibility - deny that boost to your trolls. Don't reward them. But... reply to everyone you respect.
TWITTER ADVICEš§µ: ALWAYS give credit when you tweet an image, video, or thought from another user - even if they don't follow you. I use 'hat tip' or 'h/t' along with their Twitter handle. It doesn't cost you anything to give them credit and it increases your reach and theirs.

LAWFAREš§µ1/9: After publishing an op-ed exposing how Sergio Gor, Director of the White House PPO, sabotaged the most consequential political partnership in American history, I received a letter from Gorās lawyer threatening to sue me for defamation.
LAWFAREš§µ2/9: Sergio Gor's lawyer, Robert Garson, is demanding that I remove the op-ed from š, issue a full retraction falsely claiming the article contained false statements about Gor, and issue a prominent apology on š and in a local newspaper expressing regret for the harm I caused Gor, including emotional distress.
LAWFAREš§µ3/9: Letās dispense with the pretense. My op-ed was built on a foundation of already published mainstream reporting, further corroborated by more than a dozen sources spanning the White House, executive agencies, and members of Mar-a-Lago. I did not, and deliberately chose not to, include any allegations that had not already entered the public domain. While some of what I uncovered through my own reporting was explosive, it was also beside the point. My objective was focused and clear: to expose how Sergio Gor sabotaged what may have been the most consequential political partnership in modern American history, between President Trump and Elon Musk.
The allegations shared with me by insiders were certainly lurid, but they were not central to the thesis of my column. So I excluded them. Thatās called editorial judgment, something Gor and his lawyer seem to confuse with defamation.
In this thread, I will address the claims made in the demand letter from Mr. Gorās attorney. I do so not because I fear legal reprisal (though if I'm honest I do), but because the truth deserves daylight. If Mr. Gor takes issue with the facts or the framing, he is welcome to make his case publicly. But letās be clear: courts are not truth tribunals for political speech, and they were never meant to serve as censors for dissenting opinion. That belongs to the American people, not a bench and gavel.
SPORTSBALL: Imagine letting Marina Mabrey stay in the game after assaulting the leagueās biggest star? Just a routine tech? Pathetic, WNBA. And giving Caitlin a tech after getting her eyes raked and then taunted? Embarrassing.
SPORTSBALL: This is why they attack Caitlin Clark.
SPORTSBALL: Another angle of the attack on Caitlin Clark.
POLITICAL VIOLENCE: Suspected Minnesota assassin, Vance Boelter, a political appointee of Gov Tim Walz, shot a state representative and state senator along with their wives in their homes early this morning. His car was filled with 'No Kings' flyers - a moniker that was used as a dog whistle for Antifa and political violence.
POLITICAL VIOLENCE: Vance Luther Boelter has allegedly been identified as the suspect in the ātargetedā shootings of Minnesota lawmakers Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman. hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-ā¦
POLITICAL VIOLENCE: The fact that 'No Kings' is a dog whistle for Antifa and far-left violence is no longer a theory - Tim Walz ally and Democrat activist, Luther Boelter, shot and killed fellow Democrats who voted to strip illegals of healthcare.
INSURRECTION: Antifa forced federal officers to retreat inside the federal building in Seattle. They have now barricaded all exits. ICE is attempting to evacuate illegals being detained inside.
INSURRECTION: Antifa members are relentless in their attacks. Seattle is a vipers nest of the black clad insurrectionists.
INSURRECTION: Seattle police have had it with Antifa. The kid gloves that allowed Antifa to flourish there seem to be coming off.
INSURRECTIONš§µ: Democrats are pretending that they havenāt seen any sort of violence in Los Angeles. They donāt realize that in X Americans can get the truth in seconds.
INSURRECTIONš§µ: CNN reporter covering the riots his network claims arenāt happening is escorted by police out of restricted area.
INSURRECTIONš§µ: LAPD, upon hearing the US Attorney would actually prosecute protesters who attacked officers or destroyed property, began arresting offenders en masse.
INSURRECTIONš§µ: With the weekend over the insurgency in LA will either end or resume on Friday. It turns out insurgents need to work. Only hardcore Antifa rebels can riot 24/7.
INSURRECTIONš§µ: This will end up being one of the most iconic scenes from the insurgency. Waymo is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to technology that can shutdown the illegal labor market.
INSURRECTIONš§µ: Mounted police attempted to disperse protesters blocking the overpasses, where two CHP units remain trapped on the 101 freeway.
