If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

In the last month Tesla has contacted me four times (phone, email, in app messages) about buying a new car. They have never proactively marketed like this.
Things must be BAD over there.
Hehe. Good.

Ah yes, the old "don't call it fascism until the state starts killing people for calling it fascism and it's too late to do anything about it" argument
1. If America were fascist right now, I would not be posting here. Neither would you.
Instead, I - and you - would be trying to build networks of people *offline* who can support and protect each other, in the dark, rather than yelling at the president and his stooges in our own names. /2

In her enormous fictional biography of Marilyn Monroe Oates famously observes that “Death is just the last scene of the last act.”
A send-off such as that she gave Gross underscores a life well spent by both, and a wonderful last scene to his last act.

Joyce Carol Oates is trending.
Her most shared item we can track (so probably not most of her poetry unfortunately) is the wonderful tribute she penned for her late husband, research scientist Charlie Gross.

He is a computer safety researcher.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.
Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
