If you're wondering why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Florida to meet with Donald Trump, it's because Canada doesn't allow convicted felons into the country.

Now that I've fled Leon's site for bluer skies, I'm sure I'll be called an #Ex-X, but personally, I'll always consider myself a #TwitterQuitter.

There's no longer any upside to Twitter over Bluesky. Twitter's engagement is terrible, it downranks external links, and you're subjected to straight nazi shit if you write even the most banal post. Why are we subjecting ourselves to this?

Instead of being appalled about every individual Trump appointment, I’m just going to go ahead now for the sake of efficiency and call the entire incoming administration one big fucking, disgraceful disaster for the country and then cryogenically freeze myself like Walt Disney for the next 4 years.

Parents are in control of which books their own children read - if you don't like one of the thousands they have that are on the shelves of our public libraries, put it back and choose another! Pretty simple concept. #FreedomtoRead #RighttoRead

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

Twitter’s heir apparent isn’t X or Threads — it’s Bluesky
