And it’s goodbye from me to most social media. It brings me more sadness frustration and cynicism than joy and learning. I’m remaining on a Private Instagram account for family and friends and LinkedIn for learning. As the song goes:so long,farewell, au wiederssehen, adieu. I will give Bluesky a go!

Let’s see more fact checking like this on the News and Daytime shows that are watched by people who are ignorant of the truth. It’s no wonder given the lies and bigotry promulgated by the increasing right wing press.

I came to escape X Elon Musk and his lies and hate speech, in spite of me having 2,800 followers on X. Now Zukerberg is doing the same. First he cancels fact checking now he is cancelling ED&I training in his businesses-what’s next? I hope @BlueSky will be a safe place for debate
