I feel like the thought that Twitter was ever a mass social platform for everyone is very journalist bias view. Facebook, Instagram and Reddit were already massive players before the Xtermination.

People who love or tolerate left populism.
Imagine he tries and fails, like the last who tried.
There are a lot of people and organizations that are just slow to move and don't really know where to go.
slowly divert my work to different people in the company
So you've been promoted to a management position.
If we ignore the actual stress of a manager suddenly finding out and asking you to report what you have been doing. Probably still possible to bullshit long enough in a big company to recover a normal situation or find another job.
Probably the two IT nerds who manage the Vatican systems.
I'm worried a failing economy could actually motivate them to get into war to divert the people's attention and stay in power, I think it's a common political tactic.
Does it also pull support for old Linux distributions?
Ok, so now you have a clear plan to work on your attractiveness.
Why do you think another populism is the solution?

TIL about the reverse boustrophedon writing style used by the Easter island people
(en.wikipedia.org)
Boustrophedon is a style of writing in which alternate lines of writing are reversed, with letters also written in reverse, mirror-style.
The original term comes from Ancient Greek: "like the ox turns [while plowing]". It is mostly seen in ancient manuscripts and other inscriptions. It was a common way of writing on stone in Ancient Greece.
A fun variation is the reverse boustrophedon: the text in alternate lines is rotated 180 degrees rather than mirrored.
The reader begins at the bottom left-hand corner of a tablet, reads a line from left to right, then rotates the tablet 180 degrees to continue on the next line from left to right again. When reading one line, the lines above and below it appear upside down.
I heard about it on a podcast about the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island. They use used the reverse boustrophedon style for their system of glyphs called Rongorongo, which remains undeciphered.

Then I get back into the game with my heart pounding.
It's my first time.

When the snow leopard sprang into action, Donglin assumed it was in pursuit of a marmot, not seeing, at first, the Pallas’s cat that ‘blended in so well with the rocks’. The little cat fled, but its short legs were no match for the muscular snow leopard, its long, thick tail helping it balance as it ran down the slope. In less than a minute, the snow leopard had its prey in its jaws, and proceeded to carry it back to its den.
Both species are very well camouflaged and extremely hard to spot. While large birds of prey and wolves are known to hunt Pallas’s cats, it’s rare to see them hunted by snow leopards.
Donglin understood the young leopard’s need to hunt but was heartbroken at the loss of the Pallas’s cat. She explains, ‘the cat had three two-month-old kittens, not yet independent, hidden in an empty marmot’s burrow nearby’.
After discussions with the guide and forest rangers, Donglin obtained permission from the local government for road-killed pikas to be left near the den. Three weeks later, the kittens were hunting by themselves, and not long after, two of them were seen with their aunt and its litter of five. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/wpy/gallery/2023-race-for-life
