Played this to death, and haven't listened to it in years. Seems like a good day to fish it out again.

Extract from the Wikipedia page on Snubs showing the footer text, which says "This article about a tradition is a snub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it." "This sociology-related article is a snub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it." Yes, I changed "stub" to "snub" because I thought it would be funny. Sue me.

It's also unsettling that Elmo's post-hack tweet was not in the third person
A tweet from Elmo's Twitter account: "On Sunday, Elmo's X account was briefly hacked by an outside party, in spite of the security measures in place. We strongly condemn the abhorrent antisemitic and racist content, and the account has since been secured. These posts in no way reflect the values of Sesame Workshop or Sesame Street, and no one at the organization was involved."

Great idea
My one-star App Store review for BlueSky Title: Not the Bluesky I signed up for Review: Repeatedly deleting accounts of victims of an ongoing genocide. Bluesky, you are not the good guys.
