I think Twitter is in trouble, Threads is incomplete, but it’s a great start. I abandoned Facebook and Instagram a while ago, but neutral evil > chaotic evil.

Little known fact: the cat went on to have a successful EDM career as DJ Acoustic Kitty.
This was a CIA project that was commenced in the 1960s to spy on Russia. They chose a cat for the job, but what they didn’t put into consideration is the fact that cats are hard to train. The cat’s job was to eavesdrop on two men in a park outside the Soviet embassy in Washington, D.C. The cat was wired up by a veterinary surgeon who implanted a microphone into the ear canal, a small radio transmitter at the base of the skull, and a battery buried in the flesh. It was a complex project that took five years to complete and consumed a whopping $20 million. The project was closed in 1967 because the cat couldn’t obey directives. They initially believed they could train the cat but they were wrong.
