@evan Do I have to pay attention to it?

@evan High. I prefer the way the civil service functions in Canada, taking orders from the ministry, but independent, non-partisan and ultimately serving the Crown rather than the government of the day. But there are some virtues to a system as in the US with heavy turn-over of the upper levels of the civil service when a new administration comes in: fresh ideas, people with experience from outside government, alignment with the elected officials.

Some official accounts from news media have become available through #ThreadsNet. I find:

* @propublica@threads.net (but prefer @ProPublica@newsie.social )
* @motherjonesmag
* @washingtoncitypaper
* @postopinions
* @semafor@threads.net (also @Semafor@flipboard.com )
* @theagendatvo
* @newrepublic
* @slate
* @cnet@threads.net
* @nymag
* @cultmtl
* @dailymail
* @axios
* @wgnnews

Please reply if you find something similar, and I'll update my list.
