Bird site stuff 

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess that all the successes at Musk’s companies came when he got bored and stopped bothering the people who did the real work

US politics. 

The two US political commentators on Aljazeera English are rather civilized. No shouting over each other, despite one being Republican and the other being Democrat. Very unlike the news shows in their country.

Bird site & politics 

On the bird site, I waded through the unpleasant posts of right-wing libetarian shills who're like spoilt kids demanding we give them our sweets while they refuse to share those they already have.

Made me realise that Mastodon is where the grown ups have gone.

One trend I did spot over there was that Elno's blue tick is being used by satire accounts to troll conscience-light multinational companies.

& because of the sackings, there's no one to monitor/stop them.
