I've left Twitter. You probably should too.

@robincooke It's borderline financial entrapment!

This is a new one:

Agency sends through press release with images.
Website uses copy and images.
Third-party invoices on behalf of agency for using images illegally.

@7streets WTF indeed.

@robincooke They are legit but they're a really dubious way of doing business. Threatening to sue your partners for doing their work for them?

Last year I asked a higher-up at a national newspaper group whether mainstream media should consider leaving Twitter. She said no, but didn’t really elaborate beyond ‘but traffic’. Wonder if the same orgs would post content to 4chan, Parler, Truth Social etc .

@EsotericCD The ‘just plain nuts’ psychiatrist one is a constant joy, and frequently relevant

A scam/fake news channel (which now has 3000 followers, having had almost none) seems to have invented a fake Arab name and run a false story about Southport, generating 1.4 m impressions. Widely shared by users (some naively, others perhaps knowingly). X doing nothing about it

Loudermilk is worthwhile bingeable stuff with great bits but for a show about a bloke who despises bad music the soundtrack is *nowhere near* good enough.

In her campaign literature, without irony, Truss insisted that she was “running on her record in government”. For once, she was taken at her word.

A wonderful evisceration of the idiot Truss. https://t.co/V6njlGjnhv

Reform has five MPs.

Three used to work in the City of London (including one for Lehman Brothers).

One is a property magnate.

One is paid £100k a year as a GB News presenter.

This is apparently a “party of the people”

Interesting. Does this front page signify a pivot away from the Express’s usual Mail-lite populist histrionics?
