ANNUAL REPORT20221-800-GAIL-BEAR TO OUR AUDIENCE Strategic Highlights In the chaotic and turbulent environment that Twitter has become since being purchased by store-brand Tony Stark who seems to be doing his best to destroy the platform, Gail Simone has managed to thrive, as chaos is her natural habitat. And Elon is a fool if he thinks…
I left the poll for naming the new sub-site that will replace Spotlight Sunday open through Election Day here in the US, and the results of that should not surprise anyone. Very few votes resulting in a tie. Yep, that checks out. I could do another poll to try to get a tiebreaker, but I’m…
As an addendum to yesterday’s post, I should mention that the existing Spotlight Sunday posts aren’t going anywhere.

Last time I talked about how this whole thing got started and how ever since that start things have been stalled at the gate. I also got into some of the reasons why I think that’s the case, why there has been no significant growth of the platform or movement towards achieving the vision that…
Six years ago, finding myself in a set of circumstances – both personal and professional – that could be viewed as either a challenge or an opportunity, I decided to pursue thinking of it all as the latter, and began weighing my options. It was that options-weighing that ultimately led to the creation of OpenDoor…
It’s not the Spotlight, and I’m beginning to think that the Spotlight may never shine again, frankly, but it is Sunday, and I though I should pop in and say something, or rather, a few somethings.
