Yet the medications are gathering dust, and some are approaching their expiration dates and may have to be destroyed, at immense expense. this waste of drugs exists only because [Trump's] administration shut down #USAID" https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/opinion/waste-musk-trump.html #Trump #USPol #News #World #USA

Musk turned Twitter into a far-right hellscape. Now researchers are fleeing to Bluesky. Another institution was destroyed! #ThanksElon https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/xs-dominance-over-bluesky-becomes-new-hub-research
X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research

I guess making sure I’m not scheduled to be on a flight in the path of a fucking SpaceX Starship launch is now something I have to plan for. #SelfPreservation #ThanksElon

Elon Musk made me do it. Now listening to some music from Barbra Streisand. #ThanksElon #Wikipedia #Donation #Wikimedia
I AM BANKSY ☕ / 🗑‍🔥Jul 19, 2024

I've read more books in the past month than I've read in years.

* "Solutions and Other Problems" - Brosh, Allie
* "The Wee Free Men", "A Hat Full of Sky", and "Wintersmith" - Pratchett, Terry
* "All Systems Red" - Wells, Martha
* "The Catcher in the Rye" - Salinger, J.D.

I credit Elon Musk in part for reminding me that I could do other things rather than doom scroll. Though, Catcher had a similar feel to Twitter these days.

#ThanksElon

Das Glück, wenn dein Social Media Team endlich einen der 10 Kanäle loswerden will und es als Moral High Ground verkaufen kann. #thankselon

Nachdem jetzt der letzte brauchbare Twitterclient auch nicht mehr möglich ist, ist es Zeit der Platform endgültig den Rücken zuzukehren. Account ist deaktiviert und diesmal habe ich sicherheitshalber auch das Passwort in BitWarden gelöscht. #thankselon
