The Guardian’s exit from X could be part of a larger strategy. We’ll see if more media outlets follow, and if Bluesky or Mastodon establish themselves as alternatives. What seems clear is that it will be decentralized.

🚨NEW: A bunch of masked losers put on their little black outfits and stepped out in Hamilton with a racist sign.

The incident has been condemned by local politicians, but no one has taken credit for it.

One annoying thing about historical research is looking up how long it took to get from A to B in the US by train in 1880 and then looking it up now and realizing it was faster in 1880.

Regarding blocklists, don't blindly follow them unless you have a high level of trust and personally know the creator of the list. Previously on Twitter these lists were used to create division amongst online communities and blindly silenced valuable activists, and unrelated third parties.
