this feels quite important for any moderate politician still using X
Last month I did a little experiment.

I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.

The results were...interesting...

“Why don’t you say thank you”
A Russian drone just struck a crowded hospital in Kharkiv. Fire is raging at the site. Rescuers are rushing to the scene.

Trump is just a senile fool but JD Vance is disgusting. What a horrible little prick

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”
To repeat: "A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for."
Today's university slashing and burning is Edinburgh, where about 10% of the budget will be cut. There'll be another case every single day until UK govts actually do something. A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for.

For my profound and elegaic silence.
For my beauty and wit and charm and my nice butt.
I have a game. What were you "known" for on Twitter?

I'll go first. I'm the woman who caused Dave Ramsey to mass-block Royals Twitter.
