I'm now on Threads @nekomeishi_ . It seems like a better option than Mastodon, as nobody actually goes there but math and photography enthusiasts. Anyway, fuck Twitter.

This will likely be my last post on Twitter. I'm hoping to see people I follow on Mastodon, or eventually, some other, better social network. In the meantime, I'm @[email protected] there.

This week, @MissingKids, the center that receives reports of online child exploitation, held a roundtable with leading tech platforms about combating this illegal imagery. For the first time in the event’s decade-long history, Twitter reps didn’t attend.
@JElvisWeinstein Wish these were still a thing. I really loved CT.

Tried Post, but I think I do like Mastodon better. I'm @[email protected] there. I'll still be around here until Mastodon (or something else) hits critical mass, which for me, the better the sooner.

“In typical let-no-tragedy-go-to-waste fashion, Live Nation used the pandemic to scoop up even more clubs," said @Eve6. "The degree to which this company scales artist & fan exploitation would be funny if it wasn’t so fucked up.” levernews.com/ticketmaster-f…

@Ecnerwal23 @WestLoopTom @MSGCapital @PriceIsRight I love a strong Price is Right opinion.

Stochastic terror becomes real terror. Those dead in the LGBTQ+ bar Club Q only died hours ago. They were to have a drag brunch today. Libs of TikTok is attacking another drag brunch in Colorado and a trans legislator only hours later. Elon Musk let them stay on the platform.
