Seriously, last chance for this. I can't stand it here any more and I'm out.

I have a buncha invites to Blue Sky *for any of my mutuals* if you want to get off this increasingly hellish site. DM me.

Apropos of <waves hands vaguely in all directions>

Apropos of <waves hands vaguely in all directions>

Sigh, true enough. I deleted my tweets.

If nothing else, let 2023 be the year we all finally realised that billionaires are fucking idiots

Dear mutuals: If you want a) off this hellsite and 2) to join Blue Sky, hit me up in the DMs. I have invites.

Again, please, mutuals only. I only have a few.

A real-time crisis—like this possible coup in Russia—is exactly the moment when one needs verified accounts to filter out news from bullshit rumors.

This is also exactly the moment to remember that Elon Musk has burned this once-useful information ecosystem to the ground.

Hey Minnesotans!

My daughter (Zoe Misery) will be selling her terrific hand-knitted beanies at the Wayzata Art Experience this weekend (June 23 - 25). If you're in the area, please check it out!

Hey, have you seen that UFO hovering in the western sky after sunset?

Shocker! It's not a flying saucer full of bellicose aliens.

It's way better: It's a whole-ass planet.

If my wikipedia page had BOTH 'Relationship with Jeffrey Epstein' and 'allegations of sexual misconduct' subheadings, I would probably sit this one out! wsj.com/articles/a-sci…

The Maya had an 819-day calendar because they paid better attention to the sky than we do.

I'm reading Under Alien Sky by Phil (Newsletter link in bio) Plait. I'm on black holes and it just hit me. The universe is too big.

It's insane how big it is. I'm trying to wrap my brain around it. IT IS JUST TOO DAMN BIG!

The book is good. I can actually say that for me it has been mind blowing.

FYI there’s a fake account on here impersonating me and going viral. The Twitter CEO has engaged it, boosting visibility.

It is releasing false policy statements and gaining spread.

I am assessing with my team how to move forward. In the meantime, be careful of what you see.

Republicans immediately banned it

I read the article with a mixture of disdain, revulsion, and a holy-cow-was-this-a-terrible-decision-to-write feeling.

This thread only scratches the surface of how awful this is. I expect a lot of other folks will dig deeper.
