One thing I always wish Twitter had - mainly for politicians - was publicly accessible stats that allowed you to tell at a glance if a user engaged ever or used their account mostly for one way broadcasting. Would love to see that here.

It's really f'n nice to bump into the legends I used to enjoy chatting with on Twitter before the exodus. Like dozens of mini lowkey good vibe reunions. This feels like a better place to play. Fuck Elon for so many things, but especially for ruining something that shouldn't have been his to ruin.

Trump won the popular vote by 1.5% this year, which according to @piersmorgan.bsky.social was Democrats getting "pounded into total, shameful, humiliating oblivion."

@briantylercohen.bsky.social: "Would you have said the same thing about [Trump] in 2020 who lost by a 4.5% margin nationally?"

"No."

A senior #NACC official told colleagues she had concerns over “integrity issues” that arose *before* and after the NACC began official operations.

The senior manager was so alarmed by the NACC's lack of standards that she resigned 6 months into the job.

This crime was discovered by a newspaper, not by a government agency, not by the company auditors, by a newspaper.

This means someone leaked the story, no one at Nine Media went in search of corporate crime.
