Dropping in after many months just to ask why you are still here with Musk? I'm on Bluesky @severinborenstein or email me [email protected].

โ€œMy pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci,โ€ Musk tweeted Sunday. โ€œAs for Fauci, he lied to Congress and funded gain-of-function research that killed millions of people.โ€ mercurynews.com/2022/12/16/hilโ€ฆ

It would be so great if economists led the ethical path here and deserted Twitter in droves. Hard to see an argument for staying other than network lock in. But isn't that an argument for leaving before it gets worse? Hope to see you on Mastodon or elsewhere.

I'm on Mastodon @[email protected], where I see only the posts of accounts I follow, no ads, no suggestions, no tweets from N degrees of separation. It's really lovely.

Marjorie Taylor Green's Twitter account reinstated and she's already tweeting hate and lies. Trump soon to do same. And Twitter's algorithms send their tweets to non-followers in order to boost outrage and usage. It's really time for me to leave Twitter completely.

My update on California's Mystery Gasoline Surcharge now available on my Mastodon account @[email protected]. Spoiler alert: October 2022 was a record.

I'm in. Follow me on Mastodon @[email protected] . Even if Musk were not so problematic, it's great to just see the posts of the people I am following and not millions of ads and algorithm suggestions.
