    Tweets and skeets are a megaphone based on spur-of-the-moment thoughts.

    Large scale media campaigns have time and manpower to strategize angles, uptake and decide next steps.

    The more we learn about bureaucrats with paper crowns, the more they’re revealed as deeply insecure children who, like the rest of us, are only pretending to know how to be grownups and really just doing random shit most of the time.

    I don’t think any more thought went into this than that cat with a newspaper deciding to buy a boat.

      Yeah, possibly I have read too much into a shower thought that became a Twitter tweet… or whatever the fuck they’re called now.

      I was really thinking of not just this guy, but the Boeing whistleblower and Virginia Giuffre, who also seemed to think a small text post or mentions to friends that they’re not suicidal would save them.
