2/ I previously read "Breaking Twitter" by @benmezrich.bsky.social so already had some familiarity with events. BT was a good read, with much of the story focusing on Esther Crawford. Like Mezrich's other books, it dramatized events for narrative effect, so it felt like reading a movie in book form.

I just finished "Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter" by @kateconger.com & @rmac.bsky.social. It's definitely one of the best books I've read this year. It was fascinating to get the perspective of current and former Tweeps as the company was eviscerated by Musk and his Goons. #booksky

I finally read “Careless People” by Sarah Wynn-Williams. I already knew Facebook was damaging to society but it’s so much worse than I ever realised. This book is simply essential reading/listening. It’s also a perfect companion book to “The Chaos Machine” by @max-fisher.bsky.social Read both! 💙📚 🎧📚

I’ve been reporting and blocking a bunch of AI bots promoting something called byitts.com. Anyone else seeing them? If so, please help get them removed by doing the same.

I’m currently two thirds through “Breaking Twitter” by Ben Mezrich and I can’t stop thinking what a train wreck it is going to be if Elon guts the federal government in the same way he gutted Twitter immediately after he bought it.

Elon wanted to make X the “Global Town Square”. He’s now learning the hard way that if you let the worst people in society take over the town, then the civilized people will eventually leave and go and live somewhere else. Life is too short to spend every day hanging out with people you don’t like.

The #FailWhale was a near daily occurrence in the early days of Twitter. The Bluesky team, made up of 20 people, are successfully scaling to handle almost 1 million new users every day right now. Legends.👏👏👏

Do you remember when Elon Musk said “If our twitter bid succeeds, we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!”?
He is obviously not trying hard enough.

I just watched Alex Garlands “Civil War”. The cinematography is phenomenal. Brilliantly made - much more grounded and character driven than gung ho action. Electrifying cinema but it cut way to close to home! #filmsky
