From now on, if I favorite one of your tweets, it means that I am literally in love with you.

I'm now on Threads @nekomeishi_ . It seems like a better option than Mastodon, as nobody actually goes there but math and photography enthusiasts. Anyway, fuck Twitter.

[ryan butkus ryanbutkus.bsky.social on bluesky @arenbe]

This will likely be my last post on Twitter. I'm hoping to see people I follow on Mastodon, or eventually, some other, better social network. In the meantime, I'm @[email protected] there.

This week, @MissingKids, the center that receives reports of online child exploitation, held a roundtable with leading tech platforms about combating this illegal imagery. For the first time in the event’s decade-long history, Twitter reps didn’t attend.

@JElvisWeinstein Wish these were still a thing. I really loved CT.

If only there had been warning signs.

[Chicago Sun-Times @Suntimes]

Last year, the Colorado nightclub shooting suspect loaded bullets into a Glock pistol and warned their grandparents not to stand in the way of an elaborate plan to stockpile guns, ammo, body armor and a homemade bomb to become “the next mass killer.” https://t.co/xvMXLj4NZE

1. At checkout, @CVSHealth customers thought they were donating a dollar to the American Diabetes Association (@AmDiabetesAssn).

Actually, they were subsidizing CVS’ corporate sponsorship agreement with ADA

People will be like “nobody cares about your Spotify wrapped” and then post a picture of their baby

Tried Post, but I think I do like Mastodon better. I'm @[email protected] there. I'll still be around here until Mastodon (or something else) hits critical mass, which for me, the better the sooner.

@1ypyskpy @DrJenGunter Yes! I was one of them. I then felt bad for saying this.

“In typical let-no-tragedy-go-to-waste fashion, Live Nation used the pandemic to scoop up even more clubs," said @Eve6. "The degree to which this company scales artist & fan exploitation would be funny if it wasn’t so fucked up.” https://t.co/Nh0hFyAK78

@Ecnerwal23 @WestLoopTom @MSGCapital @PriceIsRight I love a strong Price is Right opinion.

Prepping my escape pod from this site; will give more info when I've decided between Post and Mastodon. I've looked at Mastodon and been pretty meh, though, so maybe Post will win by default.

Stochastic terror becomes real terror. Those dead in the LGBTQ+ bar Club Q only died hours ago. They were to have a drag brunch today.

Libs of TikTok is attacking another drag brunch in Colorado and a trans legislator only hours later.

Elon Musk let them stay on the platform.
