@greggturkington I earnestly offer $1,000 for your current balance of $HeiP so long as it is equal to or exceeds 1,786,000 (current balance as of the time of this tweet)

Some how I have a lot of HIE Points, I don't want them, would any one want them, I would trade them all for real cash, or movie ticktets

Logging back into Twitter briefly to say: - The "red wave" largely failed - Lauren Boebert may have lost - Bitcoin is crashing What a day. Fuck you, Elon. twitter.com/elonmusk/statu…

@RomanoMarianne @MarkRuffalo Apparently you define "free speech" as Elon ordering his lackeys to break @AOC's Twitter notifications when she says something Elon doesn't like. Perhaps you don't actually understand or care about free speech?

@MarkRuffalo Mark why is free speech so terrifying to the lefties

Elon. Please—for the love of decency—get off Twitter, hand the keys over to someone who does this as an actual job, and get on with running Tesla and SpaceX. You are destroying your credibility. It’s just not a good look.

@winter_queue_t Alas

@str4d @BotSentinel Yeah the UI certainly feels like it, but it has so many other nice features you won't find in a run-of-the-mill Mastodon instance

@bascule @BotSentinel Isn't Counter Social itself a Mastodon instance?

Interrupting my otherwise permanent Twitter hiatus to say: Elon Musk's first acts as Twitter's dictator were to spread conspiracy theories and normalize political violence. If these things bother you, WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?! GET THE FUCK OFF independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

I'm really liking Counter Social not only because it has content moderation, but also integrated bot detection via @BotSentinel, as well as being proactively anti-conspiracy theories.

For Mastodon fans, you can find me here: @bascule" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cybre.space/@bascule Although I gotta say I strongly dislike Mastodon and probably won't use it much. Federation seems inherently incompatible with content moderation, and the UX is generally awful. We can do better.

@lleopard11 @DanielPAldrich @dorfman_p Nuclear power zealots who willfully ignore the fact that we need 10TW global clean energy capacity by 2050 and nuclear power provides 0.4TW. The IAEA's 2050 goal is 0.8TW. I don't know where they expect the other 9.2TW to come from if not renewables. They're just assholes.

Germany reduced both coal and nuclear at the same time, coal did not grow, and the coal reduction was actually larger than the nuclear reduction. chadvesting.substack.com/p/common-misco… @dorfman_p

@timheidecker @elonmusk I think it's time we had a conversation with @elonmusk about the problem of ongoing death threats being circulated on the Twitter platform. We could call it Death Threat ConversatiOn with Elon, or #DeaThConOnElon

@364mhz The new fascist-friendly leadership that's platforming hate speech

@bascule Would you mind sharing why?

@bmastenbrook cohost? I’m open to options

Musk is in charge of Twitter. Kanye the anti-semite is back. Trump will be back Monday. Alex Jones may also be coming back. Fuck this place.

@matthew_d_green @nuttycom Use of Weapons is fantastic too

@nuttycom Oops my bad: the one you want is Player of Games.

I wonder what it’s like to think Iain M. Banks novels are cool, but fail to understand them entirely.

@MichaelEMann Paging @DougJBalloon

When @NYTimes hired climate inactivist @BretStephen_NYT, climate folks said "that's it, I'm canceling my subscription". But I pushed back: "Hold on. Times has much to offer & maybe he'll improve etc". Well I was wrong. Both Stephens & Times have gone off the cliff. And I'm done.
