I’m happy to wait for quality work. I’m in no rush.

He always was. This is his worst case scenario. He’s too spineless to do anything about it.

I got along spectacularly for a year and a half, and then I couldn’t stand him.

I haven’t said much on here yet, but I’ve collected so many followers. So many single women much younger than me, or ones who want to sell me crypto. Good to see social media is the same most everywhere.

20 years later: HANG UP THE PHONE. I’M ON THE INTERNET.

I’d just like to point out that the Xitter Rightists are saying the same thing.

Does that mean it’s your birthday?

I need to sit down with this soon.

Congratulations from a fellow English professor.

Yeah, we haven’t stopped monopolies much in decades.

The rules of the internet clearly state that when you see Tom Holland’s lip sync battle, you must re-post it.

I’m mentally exhausted since the election. I hate to say that.

The Supreme Court said unlimited power to who they think deserves it as president, not to all presidents.

I get them, too, as a guy. I was hoping we’d skip this part of a new social media platform.

The rule of law is meaningless if nobody will uphold it. The β€œrich” (which I don’t believe Trump really is) do whatever they want. The biggest problem with capitalism, on display.

I need a new version of this. It’s getting old.

This important thread is 76 items long, plus some video links. Worth the extra clicking around to access it. Having an early job in subscription marketing & list brokerage, I easily see what happened & what's happening. The question now is what's next?

I don’t like the monetization part. Xitter is good proof that it’s problematic. The rest is okay.

Very few billionaires have the money. But yeah, agreed.

All I’ve got is Taylor Swift, and she got there without exploiting. She seems genuinely good, donating to very reasonable causes.

The best thing we’ve got going is that he’s old and mentally collapsing. Nobody likes Vance, and I don’t think MAGA will support him.

I’m too cynical to expect the dems to do anything, but I think inexperienced extremists aren’t going to be as successful as they think.

Notoriously unreliable so far

Grammatically spotless, uses vocabulary students don’t use, can’t write a thesis statement, and soullessly boring.

When you consume it, it takes the shape of you. Well, part of you, I guess.

Bravo.

Only slightly below the qualification of staying at a Holiday Inn Express.

If you’re wondering if leaving Xitter was a good move…
