I have been posting on Twitter, now "X", for some times. Unfortunately, "X" has become a cesspool. I don't want to keep posting on "X." Please follow me on my Bluesky account -- @socsecnews.bsky.social instead. I'll keep cross posting on "X" for a while but "X" ain't for me any more and, increasingly, it's not a place where my readers feel comfortable either. Bluesky is a sane platform which is not run by a nutjob. It's not full of crazy people. I'm happy to leave "X" for the wingnuts.
I post some things on Bluesky that I don't post here. Often I post items on Bluesky before I post them here. Bluesky may be worth your time, especially if you're disgusted with what Twitter has become.

Right on!
Musk can’t leave DOGE fast enough. He’s destroyed Tesla, . Twitter and now parts of the federal government.
What might be called Day of the Dead Living is being continually played out at a Social Security Administration (SSA) office in upstate New York, and likely across the country.
“We have people who did not receive benefits come in every day with their ID and say, ‘I’m not dead, I’m alive!” says Rennie Glasgow, a claims technical analyst with 15 years of experience at the agency who handles the most challenging cases at the Schenectady office.
These supposed dead are not to be confused with more than 6,000 living immigrants the Trump administration moved to the SSA Death Master File (DMF) in an attempt to force them to self-deport by depriving them of the ability to work legally.
Many more American citizens were wrongly consigned to the DMF after Elon Musk’s DOGE goons bullied their way onto the SSA’s databases and mistakenly decided that “countless” people listed as 120 years old and older were receiving benefits.
“[DOGE staffers] went into the system and they killed off people,” Glasgow told The Daily Beast. “About 4 million people, they marked them as dead. But they’re not sure if those people were supposed to be marked as dead, so they’re sending us an email saying, ‘If these people come into the office with their identification, you can reinstate them.’”
The 55-year-old father of six added, “So we’re going to be resurrecting a lot of dead people.”
Really ? X removes / restrictions on censorship so now you call it a 'cesspool' ? :) ironic. Bluesky is a liberal echochamber

I dont need either platform. Knowing instantly doesnt really change anything, it just adds to anxiety. The desire to have instant notification gene is missing in me, and guess what the dumpster fires still burn as bright when i find out about them and because there has been some delay, i usually get more accurate and detailed information.
I think he’s saying twitter/x is a cesspool because it’s so overrun with scams, bots, racist and sexist trolls, etc. And are you really saying twitter/x has higher ground because bluesky is an echo chamber? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, lol!
I left The Dead Bird Site when Sleazy E started making his moves to buy it. I knew what was coming...
At least won’t be funding Musk anymore than we already are
That "nutjob" is a lot smarter and more successful than you are.
I see your posts on Twitter/X. Rarely does anyone comment on any of them. I'll be sorry to see you go when you finally do. I could understand your position if you got a lot of goofy comments. People not feeling comfortable there seem as if they take life too serious.
Depends on one’s definition of success. Furthermore, having lots of money does not make one smart.
Oh? Is that why, according to Elon’s own father, his teachers growing up believed him to be intellectually disabled (or, as the idiot himself would put it, ”fully ret**ded“)?
Yeah, so smart he thought he could find $2 trillion in savings by making haphazard cuts to a half million dollar budget for employee salaries.
No one who cares about the declining international status of the US should be utilizing anything associated with Nazi heil-signaling South African apartheid beneficiary Musk.

They didn’t remove restrictions on censorship, they just changed the parameters of who gets censored.
Fair enough about the bot ststement !
