Endgame Viable

So Tweetdeck became paywalled for me this morning, so there's no reason for me to ever look at Twitter again. Good luck everyone in your search for carefully-cultivated and reliable news sources. :)

(The sad thing is that Tweetdeck was actually worth paying a subscription for, but not the new awful one with no features or configuration options, and not if someone's going to stick a blue checkmark on my account.)

Okay that's it. I'm turning off my Twitter notifications because I can't stand looking at my own timeline and seeing just a series of links. Follow the dern RSS feed. :)

This is an x twitter

And this is on Tweetdeck so I can't really blame it on "the algorithm" as would be the traditional scapegoat. I need to do a careful investigation of every source I follow and cross-reference ... eh, screw it.

It might be my imagination, but in the last few months a lot of liberal opinions have basically disappeared from Twitter, which means my carefully-curated-and-balanced news and politics timeline now seems to lean a lot more conservative. Sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
