re: USPol takes today

its fair to critique Kamala's campaign (always important when you lose by wide margins) but it is *the Dem Party machine* that

1) put Biden in by orchestrating a 2020 coalition to stop Sanders

2) promised Joe would be a one term president

3) ran Biden a second time without a primary while hiding the 2024 cognitive issues we were all yelling about back in 2020

so its not just Harris's mistakes, or Biden's hubris. the failures are systemic

@BrianJopek While I hope karma comes back to bite them, remember that a federal court judge dismissed the classified documents case back in July, and I'm wondering if that might resume sometime soon. But no matter what the consequences are, the Justice Department has to wrap things up by January 20th because of the policy that they can't prosecute any sitting President. So I highly doubt there'll be any karma.

I had this thought last night about making a Twitter/X account and poking around and seeing how it was going.

Is anyone able to save me the trouble and give me a basic description?

Like are all the notorious accounts (esp the Australian ones) still posting?

Has everyone gone to Bluesky (that aren't here)?

Has anything significantly changed in the last few days?

#Twitter #X

Any other #FediMods / #FediAdmin seeing a #TwitterMigration right now? I'm seeing an above-average number of new #Fediverse users saying they just closed their Twitter account...
For furry #twitter refugees who are aligned with our purpose, we’ve got plenty of space on Tiggi.es and Wuffi.es.

I love how "X" isn't called "X",
it's called "X, formerly Twitter"

Can we import tweet archives into a Ghost instance?

Yes. We. Can!

Thanks to @Tupp_ed I have been incentivised to figure it out and I have a working proof-of-concept 🎉

If you're still on Twitter and haven't yet exported your archive, do so now. We can figure out what to do with that later.

The Verge has a great guide on the export process:

How to download an archive of your Twitter data

If you’re thinking about leaving Twitter — or at least taking a vacation from all the upheaval — then it might be a good idea to download an archive of your data just in case. Here’s how.
