If you want an explanation of why it makes sense the Eppstein files include: Trump, Gates, Musk, Clinton, and other entrepreneurs and politicians, then I suggest you read the first 3 pages of The Hypomanic Edge by Dr John Gartner. Just 3 pages, and you will understand the sex component.

@ukparliament.parliament.uk is it possible that our academics, business leaders and policans have very different #metadata to the working class and therefore have not noticed that the tools of division are now being aimed at us on social media? #Westminster #bubble

The very oldest pub I like to drink in, is in the city of my birth, #nottingham. Ye Olde Trip, or Th Trip is how locals say it, founded in 1189. The caves that it uses for rooms, were made in 1067, the year after William the Conqueror turned-up.

Bsky newbie, is there any way to set up content filtering so I only get the BIG news for an hour a day, and then it keeps the community stuff the rest of the time? #advice #newbie
