This place is a Nazi bar now. Being here, you're supporting an owner who promotes things like this. I haven't been here for nearly a year now. I don't miss it. If I can walk away from an account with a half million followers, I bet you can too.

I wondered who would be rancid enough to book Matt Goodwin to discuss the riots and of course it was The Moral Maze

A lot of people genuinely seem to think that more equal outcomes (equity) = communism, but the most equitable societies are primarily the social democratic Nordic countries, not communist countries. And it's working out alright for us! See: degruyter.com/document/doi/1…

In our survey on the riots, we found the public were more likely to blame Nigel Farage for the unrest (47%) than either Rishi Sunak (38%) or Keir Starmer (33%). But more blamed Tommy Robinson (57%).

No need for quotation marks here. As well as doubling down on the "son of Rwandans" phrase, Goodwin is absolutely explicit that Ash Sarkar's Englishness is strictly contingent/qualified because of her ethnicity.

Will Jennings (I'm not here, see you at 🦋🧵 ) Not sure if you saw but an NHS trust account (which has been live on here for 13 years) has decided that the site no longer accords with its values and has left. I wonder if Twitter now violates the social media philosophy of other orgs too (inc Gov).

Twitter is not Britain etc

This is excellent. Goodwin tries to bluster his way through it by playing the hits, but he doesn’t answer the question and by the end of the clip you’re in no doubt about why he doesn’t answer the question.

I was on twitter for 15 years but I've had enough. The malevolent behaviour of the owner is a treat to global peace and security. This is not a 'town square' - murky algorithms and pay-for-play blue ticks are shaping what you read on a daily basis.

Why are you all still here? theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

This story shows why none of us should still be here. Twitter has been re-engineered to monetise hate and extremism. £1,400 a month for this guy to post here and be boosted by Musk's algorithms. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Fellow writers/experts/wonks/journalists.... a lot of your peers are on Bluesky now and you will quickly connect with them if you go there. A lot of the 1000s you think you are reaching, I bet you are not, as they are dormant, or the algorithm is preventing you reaching them.

To the stay and fighters - you are not going to change Musk's mind. Nor his fans. Most of your tweets they won't see anyway, let alone care about. All you are doing is keeping the traffic economy going and depriving the other ecosystems of your content.

There's no good reason not to come over to Sky now. It's a sacrifice for your exposure and reading, but not nearly as much of one as you think. Try it.
