Historian who spent 7 years warning people on The Bird about the rising threat of fascism in the US. Continuing the mission here.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s New Year’s Speech, 2022 compared to 2023.
Here’s audio of elon musk joining a twitter space with tech journalists, getting the slightest pushback, and storming out:

Elon suspended Kathy Griffin for mocking him

He suspended ElonJet for holding him accountable (and has now delayed his tweets)

He suspended left-wing activists for telling the truth

Space Karen is all about free speech until his own ass is on the line

People on Twitter in Japan are realizing that Twitter Spaces is not working.

I don't know how to even begin to explain to them why.

Elon joined a Space where reporters were discussing what happened. He got mad because one reporter (who he banned) stated he did not "dox" Elon at all.

Elon got mad, left the Space and then had Spaces deactivated.

He broke one of his toys, like a little kid.

Via U.S. Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer : “Twitter is now attempting to prevent its users from navigating to the official social media accounts of elected officials on other platforms.” #TwitterBans #Birdsite #Censorship
Did Twitter really fact check Elons own tweet lol

Public Service Warning

Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.

It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.

We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.

My Twitter account has been suspended. I’ve received no explanation.
Musk-Twitter has been such a visceral experience of why there should be no billionaires. It should take more than one mediocre egotist’s midlife crisis to ruin a collective creation of 16 years.
This is by far the most pathetic thing I have ever seen from a former president.
