Stop calling X 'Twitter'. Twitter, like the parrot of Monty Python fame, has ceased to be. Granted 'X' is problematic as a brand name, but calling the platform 'Twitter' suggests a forlorn hope that it can be what it once was once again. It can't; you might as well call Bluesky 'Twitter'.

@mlpoulter.bsky.social Nice to see you here. I came across this article, the same topic as my SITP talk in 2014. Even more alarming is it no longer involves lads in Nigeria and Ghana, but virtual hostages in cyber scam hubs in Thailand and Myanmar. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
‘I opened up like a giant elevator’: the seven sly, savage stages of a £100,000 romance scam
Last year, romance fraud rose 52% for over-55s in the UK. Victims often feel they’ve made a terrible mistake and are at fault – but really, they’ve been expertly groomed by criminals

Just before the gammons get worked up about the Chagos Islands in the wake of today's High Court ruling, I came up with this about their main hobbyhorses, Gibraltar and the Falklands.

Strange that when a loved one
dies a part of you dies with them
but a part of you lives for them.

As a highly-regarded public intellectual I have just come to Bluesky and found it extremely closed-minded and unreceptive to important new ideas, including the one about what a highly-regarded public intellectual I am. Also nobody with girl names responded to my chats, which were also intellectual.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
