@CaleyFretz This 👏 is 👏 all 👏 I 👏 wanted 👏😊

@angryasian I’m in. Cause James!

Jeez, talk about the 11th hour. Looks like you all haven't gotten rid of me after all! See you all on the other side. escapecollective.cc

@AdContrarian Missing the key point: Ad industry is not entitled to your data! There was no trade here. Arguing this pays for content/services is BS. Traditional TV, print, radio made billions off contextual. Just because we could do it (and got away with it till now) doesn’t make it right!

Today I rip into the IAB and their dumbass ceo. bit.ly/3jvUTKK

@angryasian @cyclingtips I’m following wherever you go. I’m sure that was difficult but hopefully cleansing. Sending positive thoughts for you and your family as you go through this transition.

🫡 Today marks 7yrs for me at @cyclingtips. No other job has felt so much like home nor any other co-workers more like family. But things just don’t feel right anymore, and I always follow my gut, so I’ve today submitted my resignation. Last day and what comes next is TBD.

Why aren’t we all moving to a new platform? Honest question, can’t some key influencers with large followings from a few disciplines just arbitrarily pick one? Who cares about tools sets etc.

@HBOMaxHelp Done.

@joshmess Hey Joshua, we appreciate feedback like this and while we will pass this along to our team, we suggest you use our feedback form here help.hbomax.com/feedback to leave any additional feedback, or if you have ideas for how the UI should work. Thanks. ^SL

@hbomax your expanding slider interface needs to go. Makes browsing so unpleasant we always go to a different app.

@angryasian I got into CT / veloclub to support your work. Nerd Podcast was my entry point, then articles, then your Twitter. Then I started digging your colleagues. Can’t imagine your days / stress rn. For whatever it is worth, I’m in to support you wherever you are. Veloclub = James 2 me.

Just want to express my sincere gratitude for all the messages of support I and others at CyclingTips have received the past few weeks. Not going to sugarcoat: the current situation isn't good. But seeing the community rally like this tells me we've been doing the right thing.

When are we going to talk about the fact that Hunter Biden: - made $640M as a WH advisor - got $2B from Crown Prince Mohammed Bone Saw - got $100 million for his women’s fund - got patents from China - got $6.35 million in PPP loans Oh wait, that was Jared & Ivanka.

@NoahMallin You are the richest dude in the world and your night stand is some 80s tiled shit?

This is the most depressing shit I’ve ever seen.

Good read

Dear @elonmusk In the 14 days you’ve been “chief twit” you’ve severely damaged @twitter, some think irrevocably. I hope that’s not true, but, increasingly, I fear it is. It’s clear that leading Twitter is not among your many talents. I would like to offer five suggestions: 🧵

Can Elon Musk buy Fox News next

Well said @LouPas

@NoahMallin @jack Agreed. It’s a very specific and needed utility.

@joshmess I hope so - there is so much utility underneath all this. If @jack were true to his word he’d give the code away.

Folks why Mastodon and not, say, Tumblr?

@NoahMallin I get it is early in the game. Thread made sense…hard to tell what is grounded in reality.

@joshmess I don’t have any special knowledge of the newfront sales impact - what I can say is that the general cloud of Musk heading into q4 and q1 23 planning season at agencies certainly had an impact.

@NoahMallin can you confirm the upfront impact?

@NoahMallin @NickChilds I still use Feedly 👴🏻

@NickChilds @joshmess Where to go? There is no one platform that can do what Twitter does for me right now. LinkedIn, RSS feeds (I miss those!), WhatsApp, Reddit, Tumblr, TikTok rolled into one

When @elonmusk the owner of this platform, spreads conspiracy disinfo it really tips the hand. How much would he spend to protect his wealth and prevent oversight or regulation of his businesses? Guess we found out.
