Don't post April Fools' Day jokes. There are enough lies in social media. Be information, not disinformation or misinformation.

Katie Britt is full of shit. Pass it on. From the party of The Big Lie comes little liars like @KatieBrittforAL. She should be teaching her kids: Be impeccable with your words; don't manipulate facts; don't lie; tell the truth; facts matter.

Booked a basic economy ticket with an airline. Had to cancel my vacation plans. No change/refund/credit available at that level. Total loss of this $377 ticket. Airline pockets my money from forfeited ticket and gets to re-sell my seat. @SecretaryPete, please help reform this.

March is #WomensHistoryMonth2024, a good time to honor the true story of heroic librarian Emily Reed, who, at great risk, protected books in Alabama libraries in 1959. My @DramatistsPlayS play about her, ALABAMA STORY, will get 8 productions in 2024-25. bykennethjones.com/alabama-s…

Misery is waiting for the 7 train for 15 minutes at Times Square subway station and hearing a loudspeaker announce that there are no trains to Queens due to track maintenance. No signage and none of the subway personnel telling us there's no service. Thanks, @MTA & @NYCTSubway

ALABAMA STORY makes its Mississippi premiere tonight! Break a leg, director Louie P. Gallo & Co. I love a clean, spare set that allows my “Deep South of the imagination” to be filled in by the actors and the words. Thanks, @sct_tweets. #Starkville bykennethjones.com/alabama-s…
