I've been on Twitter for 15 years, and have collected many good friends I can share joys and sorrows with. So I'm going to stay on Xitter (X is "sh" in many languages) as long as I can. But I'm also:

flyaway on bsky.social
So, I wasn't going to tweet here any more, but this is too important not to share. Hope it doesn't get taken down.
People keep trying to figure out why EIon is killing 💩er; apparently it's so he can take down the ÀDŁ with it. Read this:

Came back to share this because it's critically important. The changes apparently only apply to blue-check accts—for now. You know EIon will be coming for you soon.
I don't know how to do cross-platform posts, so here's a screenshot. Full link: amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…
This will probably be the last Wordle I'll post here, as Elmo has gutted the privacy rules. I've avoided FB all these years due to privacy concerns, and Xitter will be much worse.
Please see my pinned tweet for where I am!

How can anyone who grew up during the Cold War, as many Republicans in the House did, support Russia in its effort to subjugate Ukraine? Putin is trying to rebuild the USSR, both geographically, and politically by bringing back Soviet-era laws. That Koolaid is poisoned, guys!
🚨BREAKING: Speaker McCarthy once again proves why he's the most unfit, cowardly House Speaker in history, rejecting the bipartisan Senate funding bill and citing a ridiculous rationale for it.
During a closed-door meeting, McCarthy refused to back the Senate's emergency funding, claiming the $12B aid for Ukraine as his sticking point.
This decision is catering to the growing anti-Ukraine sentiment within the MAGA base, some even supporting Russia's invasion.
McCarthy's demand for border security funds reflects the GOP's escalating fixation on the issue, and underscores his inability to lead.
Expressing doubt about House support, McCarthy hints that Republican extremists like Rep. Matt Gaetz are shaping the party's direction. “I don’t see the support in the House,” he said.
With a government shutdown looming in just four days, our military and economy hang in the balance, proving once again that Republicans are incapable of governing.
Who should shoulder the majority of the blame if and when the government is forced to shut down?
Skeptical me was skeptical, but <shudder> it's entirely real. Even the scholarly New Scientist was weirded out by this thing!

“Scientists have found clear differences in the blood of people with #LongCovid — a key first step in the development of a test to diagnose the illness.”

Oh. my. god. A woman had major surgery to remove her uterus, ovaries and tubes—and then found out there was no cancer anywhere. Just to "prove" the covid vax causes cancer – and she wasn't the only one! 🫢😳😱
There was a doctor who wanted to prove vaccines were causing cancer so badly, he purposely started misdiagnosis patients with cancer.
This is what doubling down on being wrong does.

I'm having a nuclear medicine scan today, which involves a pill (to protect my thyroid); a shot of radioactive tracer in an hour; then the scan 3 hours after that. I'm allowed to leave in between—but I got a ride, so I have no car; so I have to just sit here for 4 hours. 😕
