@percy_gryce The previous owner did not have the same public profile or the same apparent desire to associate Twitter's fortunes with his own.
More importantly, Musk seems to imagine that saying whatever you want, however ill-informed, constitutes free speech. A failure of responsibility.
This is a final post on X from @RoyalHistSoc. From Friday 21 February we have ceased posting and have moved entirely to BlueSky.
Please join us there for news and updates from the Society and about #history and historians.

Break my ban on posting here (join Bluesky for timely updates) in order that @PStiffell can enjoy this from @bookscapes visit to the Thomas Plume Library in Maldon.
It involves a previously unnoticed manuscript from the collection of the most generous medieval benefactor to the library of the University of Oxford, Humfrey, duke of Gloucester - but its illustrious history does not start or end with him...
If you are not yet on Bluesky, then you will be late to the news: booking is open for an exciting event @bodleianlibs celebrating a new arrival in its medieval manuscript collection, taking place on 21st March 2025 - and free!

@william_whyte We all wish Prof. Stair all the best during their principalship, but are sorry that they have become so august they need to be winched like Henry VIII in later years.
