You probably won't find me much around here anymore. Try .

As some of you know, I've made my way to #Bluesky at https://t.co/uHo7KcTN8Q. I may stick my head back in here occasionally, but enough folks I follow have joined the #Xodus that there's not much to come back FOR, even if X's owner wasn't a repugnant fascist enabler. Arrivederci!

It's clearly time for me to move to one (or more) of the refuges of the Twitter diaspora and sunsetting my presence here. Is everyone at the place where the firmament is azure? Did anyone migrate to the prehistoric proboscidean platform, or to Meta's thingie?

This gives me no pleasure, but given Elon Musk's history, claims, and behaviors, I can't let Richard's "welfare of the world at heart" line pass without comment.

While watching Elon's rise to greater power (and the fawning of his fans), I started keeping notes. Thread (1)

@visor_t I'm sure the Force gave Jag three golden apples to throw in the path of her X-wing.

@AdmiralNick22 The Black Falcon shall not be cowed, not by the Crusaders under the banner of the rampant Lion; nor by the forces of the Black Monarch, or of the Dragon Knights, under the sigil of the wyvern; nor by Wolfpack bandits; nor by decades of time itself!

@AdmiralNick22 Or at least they aren't on this platform too often anymore. ;-) That said, seeing all the shields on this post makes me think you might get a kick out of the following page ...

@jasoncfry You can always just blame @visor_t for anything in there you don't remember writing. I mean, I haven't ever coauthored anything with him, and yet I still take the time to Blame McEwok for something two or three times a week, as a treat.

@kansas_vote @nikicaga I wish. If we here in Bako have to deal with so many Arkham escapees in our politics, we should at least get the consolation prize of all that awesome, towering Art Deco architecture, instead of the uninspired boxes that make up the town.

@EditBrooker I think @lite_thespark 's point is that, today, streaming services would be as likely to bury the entire completed season of the show as a tax write-off as they would be to release it.

@AdmiralNick22 Follow the right users, and you actually can be! :-p

@jasoncfry That it does, that it does...

@jasoncfry I intensely dislike that they scheduled this convention for one of the precious few weekends that I'll be in a completely different state. :-(

@AdmiralNick22 You should really get a doctor to look at those weapon blisters.

@visor_t @EvanSchultheis @pabl0hidalgo @admiraljello The same is true of human biology, though. If suspension of disbelief can include humans, it can include languages & orthographies by equivalent narrative fiat. The presence of English & the Latin alphabet only imply an earthly origin if you feel GFFA humanity must be earthly.

@ElaDarling I'm so sorry for your loss, Ela. I'm glad writing your father's obituary has helped at least a little with the pain such a thing must inevitably have caused.

@tomofshield @WookOfficial For what it's worth, the site has been built by THOUSANDS of editors, only some of which were bigots. And the 2 founders of the site weren't the admins mentioned by name here; they'd already largely moved on from the Wook by the time most of the offenses mentioned here occurred.
