Rule #1 of movies:
"Never kill the dog."
Corellary:
"...unless it underpins the main character's motivation. See '#JOHNWICK'."
Dunno how many times I've been in a theater & when the dog is in jeopardy, the people sitting next to me whisper, 'oh no no no... don't you dare f'ing do it..."

I was reading this funny story about a Jeopardy! question that featured Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/who-is-mark-sutcliffe-ottawa-s-mayor-stumps-jeopardy-champ-9.7013496
It features a link to his X where he (manually) recorded the Answer/Question. So then I ended up on his X profile.
He has 33,000 followers.
He posted 12 minutes ago.

Like... what good is 33 000 followers if less than 1/3rd potentially see your post and you get nearly no real engagement?
My Theory: While Politicians think they are using X/FB because “that's where the people are”, the data shows that the "people" beyond clicking ‘follow' never actually see them or engage with that person. Instead, what the profile is actually used for is self promotion. A known place where the *media* can pick up the relevant happenings of a politician.
Which then begs the question. Would said Mayor of Ottawa be able to do exactly the same thing, and engage with the same or more constituents on ottawa.place?

«Power and violence are opposites; where the one rules absolutely, the other is absent. Violence appears where power is in jeopardy, but left to its own course it ends in power's disappearance.»
