I saw a squirrel once.

I'm either unimaginative or sticking to branding, but I'm over on Bluesky with the same name.

Now, having the owner of this place jumping around like a cunt at a Trump rally has really cemented that I can't be here. I can't be quietly grandfathered into Gab like it's fine.

I hang out on Bluesky. It's okay. It's quiet. There's a lot less depression over there.

[Mat Wilson @mathewilson]

I intentionally stepped away from Twitter about two weeks ago because everything I saw just made me feel depressed. Not even browsing in the wild, where blue check wankers are incentivised by hate, but even the things pushed directly into my feed by followers.

It was too much.

@laursbobbins This morning is my first time in a week. I haven't missed it.

[Mat Wilson @mathewilson]

@laursbobbins Generally I try to separate appearance from my judgements, but the man who wrote that really looks like the man who wrote it, you know what I mean?

[Mat Wilson @mathewilson]

I know it's all click farming (what isn't?) but the idea that someone's granny will freeze to death later in the year but some guy got paid to write this...

Anyone who thinks that Oxford Street shouldn't be pedestrianised either hasn't been there or is a psychopath.

Are we sure he's not just framing his children publicly leaving him as him simply giving them away?

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

I’m sorry but the richest man on the planet casually telling a woman he’s not dating that he’s going to put a baby in her is so skin crawlingly creepy I don’t know where to start

[Mat Wilson @mathewilson]

Cool. Here's a movie for 6 year olds from 1986 with poor quality animation and a shitload of merchandising.

Waait, there've always been kids films that were churned out as mindless fun or worse? Whaaat?

And in 2025 there's not just a Minecraft movie but also Laika's Wildwood?

[Mat Wilson @mathewilson]

I wish Twitter gave me a "What's happening" and a "What's happening in the minds of TERFs" so that I didn't have to waste my time clicking on topics.

[Mat Wilson @mathewilson]

@dwiskus The only thing left for me on YouTube is the usual commentary bubble. The Drew Goodens, Kurtis Conners, Jarvis Johnsons, etc. But only the former is likely consistent enough in their format to make sense on Nebula? 🤔

[Mat Wilson @mathewilson]

@dwiskus Because only 20 people have visited? 🤭

I reckon it's a combination of finding you through a trusted recommendation from a creator plus, more importantly, you don't hide your other content until payment. Anyone at the sign up page has all the info before they get there.

[Mat Wilson @mathewilson]

@dwiskus Following you on Twitter that policy turned out to be way more polite than I was expecting.

[Mat Wilson @mathewilson]

@tintypewriter But what about *me*, a grown man? Didn't they consider ME?!

[Mat Wilson @mathewilson]

Does the trailer for Minecraft look awful? Yes, absolutely.

Do I think it looks awful because I'm a grown man and it's made for children who will love that llama? Also absolutely.

[Mat Wilson @mathewilson]

People raging about Carol's "fake" laugh kind of showing that they've never made anyone proper laugh in their lives. Sad, really.

[Ava-Santina @AvaSantina]

You’re laughing? Kemi Badenoch is trying to crack down on Doctor Who and you’re laughing?

[Mat Wilson @mathewilson]

I really liked @JimSterling's term of "artistic incels". A group who feels entitled to a space while doing no personal development to acquire the skills to warrant them being there, much to the detriment of that space.

I have yet to read a better sentence on the topic of gen-AI and who this tech attracts.

@OliDugmore She has to conjure up the role he hasn't played in almost 15 years because it's doesn't have the poor (but accurate) optics of "I'm not afraid of the man who literally won an award for being an LGBTQ+ ally"

[Mat Wilson @mathewilson]

@DaviezTJ But there's a difference between "this band I like are getting back together" and the one day blanket coverage it got. They weren't particularly newsworthy beyond the 90s, they were just a band. I'm happy for fans, just not sure why they're still held up as god-like in the wider.

[Mat Wilson @mathewilson]

I'm not being contrarian, this is a genuine question given the coverage of Oasis' return, but what lasting influence have they had on music outside of themselves?

Do we just blame them for The Libertines and move on?
