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.

Meet Caramel. One of my favorite young stallions of the north Onaqui herd in Utah. At 4 years old, he is just coming into his own, and I look forward to watching him build a family of his own.

Fascinating. According to observers Musk's blocking of #Mastodon may be considered an anticompetitive action against a rapidly growing "rival", triggering U.S. federal government involvement.
Brexit was sold by those who were either purveyors of lies or too ignorant to research the implications, bought by those who wanted to kick the establishment or ignorant of the implications, and implemented in a form that has seen a surge in buyers-regret. Until we get rigorous journalism challenging influencers who spout falsehoods from ignorance or intent, we won’t get more sustainable policy-making or voting behaviour. #mastodon #journalists - go to it. And thanks to those who are doing so.
Oh yeah Twitter… that place I go to find people’s mastodon addresses.

Firstly, I'd just like to say thank you to all the people who have liked, boosted and commented on my images, and to all the new followers I have. It's rather humbling. 😊

Today's shot comes from a magical day in the Scottish #Highlands, a few years ago, when I was photographing red squirrels.

These charming characters are incredibly agile and can jump great distances between trees.

Here I managed to capture one as it appears to be flying down my lens.

Possibly the most frightening talent of the brown bear is an uncanny ability to blend seamlessly into the environment in an almost chameleon-like manner, allowing them to easily surprise their unsuspecting prey.
Just a baby elephant on a beach for the very first time, adding some loveliness to your timeliness today. 😊 #elephantlove #weekendmood #boost #tooting

It *should* be very telling that the Infra/Ops crowd and the Information Security crowd were among the first large groups to abandon the bird site en masse post-Elon.

Like. Seriously...

DO NOT TRUST THAT SITE

When two entire tech disciplines abandon a service like that, you should take note.

Even if you can stomach the ethical/moral implications of enabling that site, please don't underestimate the security risk.

Sending so much love to LGBTQ+ folks today.

We see you. We love you. You deserve to be protected.
