This isn’t said often enough: Vladimir Putin is a murderous thug whose genocidal war against Ukrainians should lead to his prosecution and conviction for war crimes. That this will not happen anytime soon and likely ever is intolerable.

Motion to refer to the birb site as Muskodon from now on

When I started my fb page in 2011, it took me one month to get to 1000 followers.

I’ve been on Mastodon for one month and I’m almost at 100,000 followers.

If Musk "steps down" as Twitter CEO, per his latest bogus "poll", some things to remember:

1) He'll still be the owner, and the owner makes the rules the CEO carries out.

2) He lies incessantly. Nothing he says can be trusted, ever.

3) Big Journalism will breathlessly cover the charade as if it meant something, and will continue to support a man who loathes honest reporting and has contempt for genuine freedom of expression.

@AndreaCPowers @mmasnick Could all these measures be pre-emptive to declaring bankruptcy? 🤞 The sooner #Twitter comes back on the market the better. But I think keep it #RIPTwitter

This is the last straw. This isn't free speech. Space Karen is dumb AF.

@aral he’s a full on clown, for sure. While a lot of journalists/bloggers rely on Twitter for revenue, it’s time to figure out a different path. The bird site as we knew it 6 months ago is gone and honestly, I don’t think it’ll ever come back. 6 months from now, it’ll be just as different. #RIPTwitter

So I guess I didn’t waste my time building somewhat of a presence on this platform? Lol #RIPTwitter

I am getting close to the point of feeling frustration at journalists who aren't willing to simply leave twitter at this point.

The platform is incompatible with journalistic freedom. It's closing time. You don't have to join Mastodon, but you can't stay there.

This just hurts my soul. Microsoft basically hid a Black cemetery on land they got for free after tax breaks and then allowed for the desecration of the graves. The county and newspaper aren’t off the hook either. Same with the consultants and archeologists. https://www.propublica.org/article/how-authorities-erased-historic-black-cemetery-virginia
