Yeah, I'm okay with an echo chamber. I'm sure the Allied forces chatter was an echo chamber, too. They didn't need to hear the nazis weigh in while they were planning the Normandy invasion, and we don't either.

We need some Elon Musk whistleblowers.

People who worked with him throughout 2024 and know the creepy, corrupt, possibly criminal stuff he did behind the scenes at Twitter—whether in working with the Trump campaign, reaching out to mega-donors, creating PACs and illegal lotteries, or anything else.

Try this: move the BlueSky app icon to where your Twitter icon is. Then slide your Twitter icon off your main screen. You’ll notice a vast improvement in your blood pressure.

This is why I am making my way over to friendlier, less rigged skies here. Why play on an unlevel field?

A thought for those actually deleting their accounts on Twitter.

Maybe don't?

Just leave it to rot so no-one can claim your username and, as @adrianweckler.bsky.social says in this article, "Elon Musk... ...may not always be its owner."

Your reminder that I run a charity appeal every year. This year it's for the DSPCA and UNICEF Ireland's Gaza and Lebanon appeal.

As this is my first year doing it without the giant megaphone of Twitter it's slower than usual.

A share would be great...
