The Daily Beast is reporting that Elon Musk ordered engineers to switch off his Starlink satellites just as Ukraine was preparing to attack the Russian naval fleet with drones.

I am just amazed at the BS in this article! Laser focused? Blaming all evil & other economic woes on a single individual is not being laser focused! Actually listen to PP and stop writing US style fiction news

In light of the BBC's recent addition to Mastodon with their own top-level social.bbc domain, I think this is of particular importance for the CBC to join Mastodon. So far they are resistant, as evidenced by this statement:

The decentralized Fediverse is exactly where CBC should be, especially with this attack on Canadian journalism.

Both Twitter and BlueSky - backed by untold amounts of money and white tech bros - are down.

Mastodon - run by trans furries and femboys high on anxiety - is running just fine.

I think there’s a non-zero chance that Twitter ends with Elon auctioning off access to people’s DMs to cover his debts.

Almost clicked on the #birdsite

Then I remembered the bad vibes
