I love this: “I thought it was my job to learn everything I could about the band before some more technically capable producer fucked it all up and took the fun and danger out of it” (Elvis Costello on producing The Specials) theguardian.com/music/2021/apr…

@seanhelaosouse I hope so 😍

@cstarkjp I hardly go there perhaps I’ll go more

I feel invisible here

@mickymicky06s I’ve argued with myself over and over about just this issue. Combative engagement is better than no engagement, we need to keep making our voices heard, etc. But I just get a dirty feeling every time I use Twitter now, and I don’t want to meet with friends when I feel like that.

@cstarkjp True, but I don't think "the right thing to do" is as black and white when talking about an information platform. Does it become more or less dangerous once all the people who disagree with him have left?

FFS why are you all still here?!?

@mickymicky06s This place is run by a Nazi

@cstarkjp Probablement laziness first. Still like some content. But also seeing freedom of speech in action. What's more delightful than witnessing the craziness and imbecility of some of the USA government's actions and ideas being challenged/debunked by USA people on this very platform?

@Niumi6 Yes

@cstarkjp Are you on Bluesky?

@GaijinMommy Took me a minute…

That last line is why we still have human translators. Also, I’m not crying you’re crying.

@pitchblacksteed Nope

Poor old series 1 #Blackadder often gets a battering on here. I started this page because of my admiration for that series. It’s clear many fans hate it, some tolerate it and those with good taste love it. I say it’s a masterpiece. Fans, send me some love for S1.

@LucyChalice ❤️💙

@jeremyphoward Head over there and you’ll find out

Wow! What on earth happened here? (I don't mean "why did so many people move to a different social network," but "why did they all go to 🦋")

@UnseenJapanSite Japan is sinking in every way

Japan's attempts to improve its English language education are going...well, not great. The country now ranks 92nd out of 116 countries where English isn't the native language - its lowest ranking ever despite recent attempts at reform.

@_genesismoon He had me going there for a hot minute Also: Bluesky!

@MissBrownsBoy @vizcomic They’ve only been there one day and they already have more followers than me. Inexplicable!

@cstarkjp @vizcomic The account exists there, but only one post (hopefully, soon to be many more).

@WagyuStroganoff Jeez I was literally just typing how sad this week’s episode was

@cstarkjp Cried my eyes out in ep7 though

The plot of DAN DA DAN ep.6 being about a pick-me girl thinking she’s the chosen one, just because of a golden ball is pure genius

@GaijinMommy Stop making me like tweets when I could be liking Bluesky posts

Fall from a train window.

@Wenyee_Lee @Reuters Are you also posting on Bluesky?

Some personal news: I’m thrilled to announce that I officially joined @Reuters today as their Taiwan Technology Correspondent. I’ll be focusing on #TSMC and the #chip industry. Any tips are welcome! wen-yee.lee@thomsonreuters.com

@LucyChalice What a great new lewk!
