“It is just over,” journalist @caseynewton told The Post.

“If you wouldn’t join Gab, or Parler, or Truth Social, there’s no reason you should be on X. I think it’s time for journalists and publishers, in particular, to acknowledge the new reality and to get the heck off that website.”

@Chanders @aram I’m there but staying here too for when bsky inevitably implodes
Listen, I’m a superstitious guy, so I’ve been holding back on my daily #immaculategrid posts over here. No more! A celebratory all Rangers grid today, and who cares about that 65 rarity.
They talked to Al Oliver! This kid who grew up in Arlington, living and dying with this stupid team for so many years, has a full heart today. https://theathletic.com/5023408/2023/11/02/texas-rangers-first-championship/
The Rangers are finally World Series champions, and it means so much to so many

The breakthrough win for what had been the oldest franchise without a title was a catharsis and celebrated by Rangers from different eras.
