Goodbye Twitter
I’m deleting my twitter account within the next day or two. It won’t be much of a loss for Musk. My twitter account basically only reposted anything that gets posted to this blog. I did use it to keep in touch with some friends though and also use it to follow several on Twitter. But, after seeing how Musk has been treating the employees of Twitter, and witnessing how he is not only choosing to run the company, but use it as his own personal 4chan, I have had enough and choose to just get rid of my account. Having a raging impulsive narcissist run the country for four years has soured me on these privileged attention-at-all-cost seekers. And I really don’t want to play in his sandbox any more.

Helga Stentzel’s Instagram page is gorgeous as she makes art out of everyday items but I really love her clotheline animal pieces.

I’ve been on a big news diet. So I didn’t pay attention to the florida man who has decided to run again for preznit. The NY Post headline here is channeling that same energy.
Confutatis Amadeus movie plus scrolling music score
They animated sheet music to go along with Mozart dictating his Requiem to Salieri. Amadeus is one of my favorite movies of all time. Watch it if you haven’t!
How is the New Twitter Doing?
So what happens when the biggest troll in the world who also happens to be the richest man in the world buys the world’s largest megaphone?

An important detail here: If you already have a blue checkmark, Twitter is currently planning to remove it from your profile after 90 days if you don’t subscribe to the more expensive Blue subscription after it launches.

I Don’t Know If I Should Laugh or Cry
If Trump runs in 2024, it’s likely he’ll choose Marjorie Taylor Greene as running mate https://t.co/4MQTqqWPpn

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry is pretty much the standard for political news now though. I guess both works too.
