I do wonder how many people are staying on Twitter due to follower count alone. Having had an account for over a decade, I'd have previously estimated about 20% of my followers were dead accounts. Based on now leaving and making new accounts on other platforms, my estimate is closer to 90%.

As a blogger I've always known only like 1% of people who retweet/like a post actually clicked the link and read the article, but I assumed that was just a social media thing. Having experimented with basically every other platform, I learned it's more likely that a significant number of Twitter engagements are fake, and those that aren't don't really care enough to read your work, they'll just give you a retweet/like for appearances.

Very grateful to get to play even a small part in this important case brought by PEN America, challenging politically motivated library book removals in Escambia County, FL. Gautam Hans of Cornell Law School and I co-wrote this amicus on behalf of several great first amendment scholars. We also had a big lift from local counsel Schullman Fugate PLLC in Tampa.

To become a leading climate scientist ... you need to graduate with a Ph.D. ... and publish years of study in peer-reviewed papers.

To become a leading climate denier ... you need to know NOTHING ... and post garbage daily on social media.
