♫ Twitter is a Dumpster Fire ♫

Ugh. Twitter. I’m sick of talking about it, reading about it, thinking about it. I’m ready to move on. But before I do, I need to purge my brain of all the Twitter thoughts that are swimming around in it. So here is an incomplete list of all the Twitter memories I can’t shake, but listed in a way that can kinda-sorta be read to the tune of We Didn’t Start The Fire.

After all these years, I hate to see Twitter’s demise. I guess I’m still hoping for Elon to find some sense and for the platform not to deteriorate into a cesspool of unmoderated filth, so I’ll continue to keep one foot in the platform and see what happens. But I’m not feeling hopeful. I keep reading about weak points — technically, politically and otherwise — that might cause it to come crumbling down. We’ll see. Meanwhile I’m on Mastodon as linked above, and trying out Hive, where you can find me as @ironicsans.

Thanks for reading as always. Next time, I’ll have something totally unrelated to the Twitter mess for you. I promise.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate.
