For the uninitiated, this Elon Musk video game thing is like if he'd bragged he's one of the top chess players worldwide, went live on YouTube using a Chess.com account with a top ten global ranking, and then spent 5 minutes calling his knights "horsies" while trying to move them in straight lines.

In 2023 BBC News reported that Brexit is the reason why the Vauxhall plant may close down costing 1,500 jobs In 2024, there's little mention of Brexit being the reason why it's closing down. Why?

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site. www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

You may have seen a petition calling for an General Election in the UK. It currently has 2 million signatures, but only 1.1m are from the UK. It's been "signed" by Lee Anderson 2.5k times & Angela Rayner 1.9k times. This petition will likely be the Daily Mail's front page tomorrow.

I'm sorry I'm just having trouble coming to terms with the fact that the CEO of this platform somehow managed *not* to be a billionaire techbro hellbent on shoving his head up the Republican Party's ass in an effort to curry political influence. Thank you @jay.bsky.team

It's genuinely mad how many people can be persuaded to go to bat for the interests of the wealthy & powerful but if people turn out to protest for the oppressed our press & the usual meatheads crucify them. We have an unsustainable serf mentality in this country that we urgently need to get over.

I see that a collection of MPs have taken it upon themselves to “launch” a private prosecution, in relation to a case which is still awaiting a CPS charging decision. What might be the problems with this? 🧵

In a crowded field, woke may now be the single most meaningless word in the modern lexicon. Its usage long ago departed the realm of sanity into some kind of lunatic deepspace.

This is chilling. In September, as Elon Musk began buying Trump a presidency after Trump promised him a federal department he could use to destroy his enemies, Trump agents at the Heritage Foundation began filing FOIA requests to find anyone in government who had ever mentioned Musk in any document.

As I chat away on here with people about their middle-aged Friday nights I'm increasingly furious over how obviously Twitter was strangling my feed. This ACTUALLY works as a social media platform. X was just bots, ads and fury. There are PEOPLE here.

NEW: "Moving Off X: An Open Letter from UK Journalists" UK political journalists: "Twitter was, for a long time, the place to be for UK politics. We believe that time is now over... "We have taken the decision to move over to other platforms, in particular Bluesky" docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We have used Twitter – now X – for many years. It has been a resource for story-gathering, network-building, and a megaphone for getting public-interest stories to a wider audience. And it has been a well of ideas and discourse.
Unfortunately that well is now poisoned.
All of us have seen X become more toxic and broken since Elon Musk took over in 2022.
Feeds have become less useful. Engagement has plummeted, except for those who will pay. Replies gain traction not through merit, but through the corrupted blue-tick system.
We have seen hate speech and abuse deliberately dialled up and amplified, boosted not just by the algorithm, but by the owner himself.
And England’s racist summer riots were one of many factors suggesting to us that X is not a neutral platform, but a space that now seems to glorify misinformation at a great cost to our public sphere.
Millions of people are ditching X, and we are doing so, too. We have taken the view that it is no longer a useful tool for objective reporting, but a weapon being wielded by a narrowing ideological set.
A tipping point is coming. Perhaps we are already in it.
After much consideration, we have taken the decision to move over to other platforms, in particular Bluesky. For some of us that means instantly deleting our X accounts, for others it is a more gradual process.
But we are all putting the majority of our efforts into building more constructive online spaces elsewhere for political dialogue and reporting.
Bluesky is becoming a new hub for political discussion, and we encourage other UK journalists to join and become active. We are already seeing far higher engagement on our posts there than we’ve seen recently on X.
And importantly, the mechanisms to limit abuse actually work.
We enjoyed Twitter while it lasted. It played an important role in shaping many of our careers. And it was, for a long time, the place to be for UK politics. We believe that time is now over.
Twitter is dead. Long live Twitter
