Lastly, I know that online communities such as Reddit love to decide what is “old news” when sharing my posts. Well, I’ve decided to start something that Community Notes on X actually inspired. I’ll now always include the first X post that announces the “news” itself and cite it below, after the break. It’s a waste of my time, to be honest, but it’s fun to put in, to show how silly statements like that truly are. I count 7 and a half hours between when I posted this one and when it made its way to the website. There was a lot of news this morning.
