Europe changes their clocks for #DaylightSavingTime or #SummerTime this weekend. In the U.S., it's the first weekend in November (Thanks, Candy Lobbyists! 😬) So, it's time to reprise this video illustrating the problem: youtube.com/watch?v=LsyQlf…

The team doing more than anyone else in the world at cutting funding to disinformation outlets strikes again. Ladies and gentleman, behold Nandini Jammi has left this hellscape and Claire Atkin

NEW research from yours truly, Free Press & Change The Terms. We analyzed @meta TikTok US @Twitter YouTube policies & application of those policies to assess how prepared social media companies are to fight hate, extremism, lies re: the upcoming elections. A 🧵 on our findings. 1/

I think it's a good idea to have a plan. If they let Trump back on, I'm out. I've set up an account here: mastodon.social/@scodtt Feel free to join me there as a back-up plan.

So this weekend is the change in Europe and England. Also the #Broncos play the Sunday after they get an extra hour of sleep in London, and then fly back to Denver and get _another_ extra hour of sleep next weekend. Hope getting the bonus sleep twice is helpful!

Scott Galloway Agree 💯. Apparently he’s media illiterate, too, so just great news.

This time of year I get totally befuddled about which is the right time zone we should #LockTheClock in permanently. I don't like the late sunrise today, and I similarly don't like the early sunsets that start next week. There's really just not enough sunlight to go around!

NPR's David Folkenflik reports below on local websites that masquerade as news to spread partisan propaganda. At @Journal_List, we work with credible news media, deploying a system of "trust" files that help spotlight reliable sources of information. journallist.net

My hometown magazine did a fun, quick look at the numbers behind why we should #LockTheClock: 5280.com/why-stopping-t… Thanks, 5280 Magazine Great job!

I just found out that I'm going to be on a major network AND in a major newspaper, and both will have links to my site and my Typepad site is slow like molasses right now. Do I risk setting up a new site and redirecting the URL today? I really don't know!

“If somebody snuck into your house and changed your alarm clocks...you would be so mad. And yet the government does it every year.” Scott Yates tells William Brangham and I during our deep dive into The Sunshine Protection Act and issues surrounding DST, tonight on PBS News.

I'm not sure why, but the media interest is much higher this year than last year. Here's a post with some great ones so far, and I think at least two more coming. sco.tt/time/2022/11/w… And thanks to PBS News for FINALLY getting Buddy the recognition he deserves.

Wow... Gannett is printing pink slime newspapers for cash. Gannett. Like, Gannett. And sorry, "they are a commercial client" doesn't cut it. This isn't ok. cjr.org/tow_center/dis… bleedingheartland.com/2022/11/05/gan…

It's almost as if this whole Crypto thing was not about making the world a better place and was just a scam perpetrated by people with no ethics.

You are right about this. The rub comes at some point years in to a new platform when the desire to continue exponential growth means that it has to accelerate rage and disinfo. My hope for Mastodon is that it gets fun and helpful, and then is happy with that.

It used to be that all the DST humor was just before or after the change. Now it's all year long! youtube.com/watch?v=hD4fJG… I hate to deprive the world of the jokes, but I still think it's worth it to #LockTheClock

Not sure if I'll end up on Mastodon or here: post.news/?r=dTSLw I'll try both for a while. Feel free to join me in either one or both!

Given that any tweet may be my last, well, I wouldn't mind if it was a retweet of this one, which is so very good:
