As climate change gets worse, I’m sure this is something we’ll be seeing much more often.

According to some news I saw years ago, half the country was supposed to have been taken over by killer bees by now. I’m not going to worry just yet. Besides, the people who have “billions” at risk have the resources to do a hell of a lot more than me.

It’s an emotional response, not a rational one.

The union backed Biden against then-President Trump in 2020, but it announced in May it would withhold its endorsement.

I’m on the side of the workers, of course, but this pisses me off.

While I know they’re separate companies, I had thought that Twitter posts could show up on BlueSky. Therefore, Musk could turn off compatibility at any time, which is where the “whims” bit came in.

Is that inaccurate? Am I remembering wrong? I’d appreciate any correction if I’m saying something that isn’t true.

Roughly 46% have joined other social-media platforms, such as Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads and TikTok.

Huh?

With Bluesky, ultimately you’re still subject to Musk’s whims [see edit]. As for TikTok, all I can say is ”seriously?!?”

Edit: I was wrong about this. Sorry!

I didn’t even catch that. It’s great! Thanks for pointing it out!
