15 years ago I signed up for Twitter. I met a guy who turned into a roommate, who then became a great, lifelong friend. I used it to stay in contact with other friends I'd made after moving to another state. I participated in "Tweetups" in the early days. I found and followed many accounts that simply wrote jokes, which constantly added value to my day. I used Twitter to exhale my dumb thoughts instead of keeping them pent up inside. I used it to keep up with current and unfolding events. I used it because I enjoyed it.

I fought with a number of idiots. I watched gamergate unfold in the vilest and most toxic way. I saw a lot of awful shit. I suppose that's expected as an inevitable eventuality in most online spaces though.

All of that to say, I think it's time I finally said goodbye. Not because I wanted to, but because the parts of Twitter that I enjoyed the most have slowly rotted away since Elon Musk took over. The final nail being his childish revoking of the API.

I mostly enjoyed Twitter because I used a great app for over 10 years, Tweetbot. It worked well, was reliable, and didn't hurt to look at (soon to be reanimated into @ivory) But, just like every other good feature of Twitter, it too was bound to die because Elon is such a little bitch. He's too self-absorbed, insecure, and greedy to actually accomplish anything of real value on his own. His entire identity is built on taking credit for others' work and lying about it.

Twitter is by no means his greatest crime or fumble. That's not hard to see. However, it is his most personal. He came in and fucked things up for millions of people. Because of his ego.

And there's nothing more dangerous than a rich man's ego.

So, I said goodbye. I'll keep my account up, unless it gets banned, and I might check in every few weeks or months, but as far as actually using Twitter, I'm done.

Elon, go fuck yourself you sad, pathetic little troglodyte. I hope autopilot gets stuck when you're driving one of your shitty cars.

@jodikantor asks infuriating rhetorical questions:

Could it be that people on the highest court in the land are actually held to a lower standard than everyone else?

Why do we subject people who have more power to less scrutiny?

@thepoliticalcat @stopgopfox @radiodon1 as someone that lived among Floridians for a decade, I can say they are getting everything they’ve been hoping for. DeSantis fascism is just the beginning.

Published in 2016, this brilliant comic by artist Joe Dater somehow feels even more timely in 2023. #art

Colossal recently added $60 million in funding to move toward a 2027 de-extinction of the woolly #mammoth.
The Dallas-based company is now working to edit the genes for the #reincarnation of the mammal.
Colossal planned to reintroduce the woolly mammoth into Russia, but that may shift.

The long-dead woolly mammoth will make its return from extinction by 2027, says Colossal, the biotech company actively working to reincarnate the ancient beast.

What the bloody hell? "Should the bill be enacted, a drag performer caught lip-synching in front of teenagers on two separate occasions could be charged with a Class E felony and sashayed away to their local prison for up to four years. Four years!" https://www.thebulwark.com/dark-and-nasty-republicans-propose-drag-brunch-and-maybe-gay-pride-bans-in-several-states/

If one had to pick a team to back for the upcoming House Debt Limit Bowl, just think about it.

There's the Democrats, led by President Biden and Hakeem Jeffries; and then there's the other guys led by a small group of very angry men, the thinnest of majorities, a host of circus performers, and the weakest Speaker of the House to ever play the game.

My odds strongly favor the Democrats.⚡​

Unfortunately, the only potential Loser in this Ridiculous and Completely Unnecessary Fiasco is the American Public; who stand the most to lose from this Embarrassing Threat of Republican Bullying.

It's never been more clear who's playing for who. And it should be clear by now that the Republicans are not playing for You.⚡​

We talk about guns falling into the hands of mass shooters. But another question is worth asking: does the normal sight of guns in public also normalize the use of guns in public?

All male members of the Florida House should have to wear knee pants and beanie hats with propellers.

"Fighting wokeness" is such a boutique issue that most swing voters don't even know what it means. https://www.thebulwark.com/is-attacking-wokeness-ron-desantiss-superpower-or-his-kryptonite/

A bunch of affluent white socialite busybodies with no experience, education, or awareness of contemporary life, let alone the issues they write about, are able to take policy and people hostage by talking about them to death in the pages of elite "liberal" publications whose audience is basically themselves and politicians craving their approval.

I see legislation titled “Protecting Life on College Campus Act”, and for a brief moment I let myself think it will be about gun control.

Nope. Of course it’s all about old white dudes controlling women’s bodies. 😡

I guess “Treating College Women Like Broodmares Act” didn’t test well.

Ron DeSantis is manufacturing culture war fears of the "other" in part to divert attention from economic looting and oligarchy. Know the truth.

I like the description of Mastodon as (paraphrasing something I saw here) Twitter without the ads and Nazi-promoting algorithms.

Thing is, Mastodon is much more than that, and getting more interesting/useful all the time.

The RNC passed a resolution it claims is meant to denounce antisemitism, name-checking Ye and white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

But it makes no mention Marjorie Taylor Greene. Or George Santos. Or Donald Trump.

Republicans don't give a damn about the debt or deficit. They've raised the debt ceiling again and again while handing out trillions in tax cuts to billionaires. Their goal is to cut Social Security and Medicare, which tens of millions of Americans rely on to stay out of poverty.
