Fuck Trump, Deathsantis and Elon Musk.
Maybe he can get it down to $4.20! 🤣 #twitter #elonmusk
Can't wait to see #tesla go bankrupt

Amazing NYT piece on a Long Island congressman-elect and the resume he ran on. The college he cited has no record of him graduating, Wall St firms he said he worked at say they have no record of it, his pet charity isn’t registered w/IRS. And there’s more. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/19/nyregion/george-santos-ny-republicans.html
New York Republican George Santos’s RĆ©sumĆ© Called Into Question

Mr. Santos, a Republican from New York, says he’s the ā€œembodiment of the American dream.ā€ But he seems to have misrepresented a number of his career highlights.

Locked out of my Twitter account for telling folks I’m on Post and Mastodon. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø https://twitter.com/acyn/status/1604588443010482176?s=46&t=tl57_tRJeNEGnUy6VekkCA
Acyn on Twitter

ā€œAcosta says his account was locked overnight for promoting other social media sites. He says he’s still trying to sort it outā€

BTW in my new CNN article I removed my Twitter handle from my bio and replaced it with my Mastodon handle. I refuse to advertise twitter. My new article is about the need for Congress to obtain all the so-called twitter files https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/18/opinions/twitter-files-elon-musk-fbi-obeidallah/index.html

I don't think journalists (in general) -- and certainly not the organizations they work for -- fully understand the threat Musk represents to the future of free expression and journalism itself.

Begging him to reinstate the banned accounts is pure folly. It is bended-knee supplication to a sociopath who now controls a powerful media company. But the power of his company depends in no small degree on keeping journalists there.

Leave. Now.

Taylor Lorenz’s last tweet before Musk banned her account.

Hey y'all: Given Twitter’s turbulence we want to build our platform here on Mastodon to make sure we can continue our conversations on a public social media platform.

Can you please BOOST this post and FOLLOW our account and encourage your followers to do the same? Thank you.

I know "Mastodon isn't #BirdSite, it's its own thing" but that doesn't mean these are bad features to have; they shouldn't be rejected outright *just* because TW has them already. The good ideas should be incorporated (if feasible), the bad ones shouldn't be.

Oh, also: Anyone know why the search bar is on the top *left* of the browser interface instead of on the right side with everything else? Or why it disappears entirely on a too-narrow browser window? Can that be changed in prefs?

My last two Washington Post stories on Elon Musk before Twitter suspended me and other journalists discussed his flirtation with QAnon and the public data about his private jet:

QAnon, adrift after Trump’s defeat, finds new life in Elon Musk’s Twitter

Musk has become so popular in QAnon circles that some regard him, not Trump, as the savior-like figure they’ve been waiting for.
