He’s also learning how to do household chores, like vacuuming, in ways that use less energy. Instead of standing in one spot and moving the vacuum with his arms and his upper body, Martinson now operates the vacuum in a way that resembles mowing the lawn.

Hopefully they’ll have a specific method to report tweets and accounts that spread disinformation. The report system as it’s been only gives a few categories to define offenses, and I’ve found it difficult to figure out which one best describes lies advising behavior that’s dangerous to themselves and others.

Based on the year-and-a-half or so I’ve been on Twitter, I don’t think that will happen (unfortunately.) The most virulently offensive accounts will take the hits, but others who are milder and/or less obviously full of BS will probably fall through the cracks. Twitter hasn’t been very good at uniform and impartial enforcement of the rules they already have, so I don’t expect anything different with the new anti-disinformation rule.

But it’s still a good thing, as it give those of us who do take the time and trouble to report nasty, harmful tweets another way to strike back against them.

There is a huge problem. How the fuck DO we report stuff on twitter which is full of shit in regard to the pandemic?

Since introducing our COVID-19 guidance, we have removed more than 8,400 Tweets and challenged 11.5 million accounts worldwide.

Yeah? How? There is still no way for me to report a tweet due to, for example, outright denial that the pandemic exists, or spreading falsehoods like that the vaccination is making women infertile, or asking people do use ‘homeopatic vaccination’ instead of real ones. The list is endless.
