Hours after documenting Andy Ngo's vocal support for known pedophiles, journalist Vishal P. Singh (@VPS_Reports) was permanently suspended from Twitter.

One trait that Musk and Trump have in common is they are both outrageous susceptible to flattery.

It doesn’t matter how abhorrent you are. If you flatter them, you are a good person.

The fact that the Furries are all moving to Mastodon tell me that this is the platform that will replace the birdsite.

It's the usual life cycle of any technology: it begins with the Furries, it dies when it becomes a marketing tool.

After @ChadLoder tweeted about a massive data breach on #Twitter this evening #ElonMusk suspended him on that platform. I took these screenshots just now from the web as I am currently suspended from Twitter for an alleged violation but I'm trying to get the word out. This is a NEW breach. Elon looks like he may be in big dodo! #FTC #DataBreach #ChadLoder #TwitterDataBreach

For any trans people who need to hear this:

Your body is beautiful. You're worthy of being desired, if that's something you want.

Whether you choose to transition (and in whatever direction you want), and wherever you are in that process -- you're seen, you are believed, and I'm proud to be your sibling.

When you look in the mirror, you deserve to hear, "Hey, Beautiful." If you don't hear it in your voice, hear it in mine.

Your strength is incredible. You come from a long tradition of transgender people, stretching back to the earliest days of humanity.

Let the haters shout into the void. You don't need to. The Void already loves you. ✨​

Why would anyone watch the world cup when MST3K is doing a Marathon, free, on YouTube?

So many people grumbling about Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter.

If nothing else, it appears he's well on the way to making it an ad-free social network.

A spectacular Democratic failure. For anyone who cares about #NewYork or #politics or both, this is essential reading. By @JosephONeillx.

@simon ActivityPub is much, much more interesting to me than Mastadon on its own.

Major Twitter influencers are pushing a supposed replacement called Post. It may be great (I'm not allowed to use it so far) but it's yet another proprietary, closed (in terms of interoperability), centralized social network.

Great for the A list and vCs. Not great for me.
