The lullaby lion

Very, very well timed.

Threads timed perfectly; musk on the weekend limiting tweet views after torching the place, Bluesky in beta, invite only and clunky, mastadon never really took off, Zuckerberg really had threads in the bag.

FYI: you can create an Insta alt to use in threads so you can keep your normal and twitter style social media seperate.

Straight up, threads is one million times better. News and MP's are there if that's your jam, verification, option of a locked account, you'll find me there under This account.

Are you going to look at threads?

I 100% agree with this. And it has DM's. You can bag out data harvesting or whatever but unless they are stealing my identity I honestly couldn't GAF.

This is a really, really good article Belinda.

Like a process you go through after getting an adhd/autism/bipolar diagnosis. Things make sense but you also see time you lost when it didn't make sense.

I think there's a grief process you need to respect with a big diagnosis like that, grief for the past you who endured it rather than knowing what it was. I don't know how long that takes before you gently move to acceptance but I think it's a think. I hope you're ok x

I just stumbled across him on twitter again 😂

Love that the guardian has started posting in here, it's starting to feel closer to an app I'd use more.

All this talk of the good place and the bad place is making me want to swap from Stan to Netflix and binge the good place again.

Thinking of you tomorrow x

Exactly this.

Lol I bet, Elon really busted it this time and made us really desperate.

You made it!

I genuinely don't care who owns what app except for musk on twitter; my chosen platform will be whatever closest resembles pre-musk twitter takeover, ideally with a locked account option, DM's that you can close, include my online mates and properly moderated to stop hate.

I'll go where the people go and what's easiest to use

we joke about it, but losing Twitter is significant. It’s been a vital platform for activists to organise, communities to build. It was The place for breaking news globally. It will be almost impossible to replace. The fact that its gone due to whims of megalomaniac child… is really sad

Camera Geekery: A new panoramic film camera on the horizon SilvergrainClassics and the Bridges family (you know, Jeff Bridges) are teaming up to bring the world a new panoramic film camera.

A tale of two rich people:

Elon Musk: buys twitter for $44b and fucks it royally.

Jeff Bridges: loves his widelux camera so much he starts a company to restart production.

Be more like Jeff, rich people.

Isn't that what you mainly write about? Just do you and if they don't like it they can block you.

Oh yeah that's just ridiculous

Agree

In all fairness on my tiny alt I had most political words muted, im highly political but needed a space free of it especially around budget time.

Love this pic so much x

Crap, I'm in the non kid sleep zone but the kids are home and wake early. Buggar 🤦‍♀️

Lol yep. Twitter emailed a couple of months later to say my account had been impacted, like ok I did notice that...

Yay!!!

Twitter circles, except that time they broke and the guy who was being a red flag found out I shared the screenshot asking if he was a red flag, except then, were one of the greatest things about the bird app.
