“The ability to effectively share misinformation on X is a feature — not a bug — that helped facilitate Trump’s re-election. At a time when foreign interference is a real threat to our democracy, powerful social media platforms should step up their efforts to fight fake news, not encourage it.”

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark."

That's how horrifying Twitter is right now.

There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.

Préparez vous à voir des pirates débarquer pour essayer de vous faire réagir, Maurais vient de débarquer.

Faites ce que vous voulez mais moi je bloque à vue sans engager les trolls.

Ils vont essayer de troubler la quiétude, screenshotter et aller se vanter la yeule.

With academic twitter migrating over I wonder if we see a new round on the classic debates, like:

endnotes vs. footnotes
parentheticals vs. em-dashes
oxford commas vs. watching the world burn

Come on folks, lets see some pettiness of small differences, it's what we trained for! Let's set the tone!
