Shell <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/SHEL.L/"target="_blank">(SHEL.L)</a> delivered a record $40 billion profit in 2022, the energy giant said on Thursday, capping a tumultuous year in which a surge in energy prices after Russia's invasion of Ukraine allowed it to hand shareholders unprecedented returns.
Framing authority George Lakoff @georgelakoff yesterday quoted the brilliant Eric Blair's @protecttruth article:
Twitter is being used by a billionaire to shift public opinion. Time to go elsewhere >>> https://deepnarrative.substack.com/p/twitter-is-being-used-by-a-billionaire
"Twitter is now a danger to American democracy. The only effective solution now is to move to new platforms. There are other social media platforms... we can build them up to support honest debate and provide some replacements to Twitter."
The recent chaos at Twitter is a reminder that when you rely on a social media platform, you’re putting your voice, your privacy, and your safety in the hands of the people who run that system. Many people are looking to Mastodon as a backup or replacement for Twitter, and this guide will walk you through making that switch. Note this guide is current as of December 2022, and the software and services discussed are going through rapid changes.
