Big earthquake in Southeast Turkey, populated area and at night—people will be caught asleep at home. Preliminary reports are M 7.8.
Early photos already showed pancaked bulletin. #DEPREMOLDU is the hashtag. (Or #deprem). Almost certainly needs global rescue team mobilization.

Major M7.8, shallow, lateral slip #earthquake on S Anatolian Fault of European-Arabian convergence zone. Significant surface shaking with major surface and societal impact in densely populated area.

It’s been, at times, great. I’ve made some genuine friends here, it’s helped me in work. I’ve been on a few dates, had a few crushes, some of which persist. But those ppl I have other channels to, and most of the people I like most here are on Mastodon now.
goodbye and good luck

I will maintain the account. I am even going to keep it on my phone, though I want to delete it - but I feel I need in case of certain emergency scenarios. I also need it for work, but not with the same immediacy so could delete it from my phone if that were all.

#ByeTwitter I think it’s probably time to pull the plug
I had some idea that I would keep this account going to share links to decent news ( mostly) and roast Rocket Boy, but I feel that even that much is feeding him and his regime.
And I keep doing more than that.

Goodbye, Twitter - by Ken White - The Popehat Report

A normally irrepressible Musk seemed to be dumbstruck by the booing. He remained speechless, only opening his mouth to cry for help: “Dave, what shall I say?”

How Elon Musk’s lashing out at a critic as a “pedo guy” in 2018 predicted his current willingness to mainstream conspiracy theories as the leader of Twitter today -
“Beyond its stark cruelty, this tweet is incredibly thirsty. As right-wing troll memes go, it is Dad-level, 4chan–Clark Griswold stuff, which is to say it’s desperate engagement bait in the hopes of attracting kudos from… right-wing shock jocks.”

What strikes me most about the people who claim to be the most iconoclastic thinkers, the people who say they question everything and trust no one is that they are so often the ones engaging in group think and regurgitating canned lines.

The "pronouns" meme is forked up and always has been, I think - playing into the dismissal/trivialization/demonization around people giving their pronouns - even when used as here theoretically in a "good" way

The more desperate you are for adulation the less you care about where it comes from. Doesn't matter how rich you are. The horror of realising that epic wealth hasn't diluted the aching need for approval must be huge. There's no substitute for caring for your injured inner child.

Already seeing anti-vaxxers, encouraged by that Musk tweet, threatening violence on eminent doctors, telling them they will be given the opportunity to choose between life imprisonment and suicide. This is a form of moral evil.

The experience with this site is deteriorating by the day. I am now on both Mastodon and Post: mastodon.online/@pkrugman and post.news/paulkrugman. Triple-posting will be a pain, but will try for a while at least.

Mastodon is the most talked-about alternative to Twitter. In comparison, “you don’t feel the same level of hostility there,” an editor at an Irish Web site said, and there’s no “swathe of American bullshit to cut through.”

Shared over on Mastodon, a fascinating 1941 essay on what drives people to adopt fascist views.
"It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one’s acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi."

Can you stop bullying former employees who acted upon policies agreed by the previous leadership? It is a toxic abuse of power and is both unfair and dangerous

Also, Elon musk is a jerk

My God, this hit 1 M likes. He is a social media addict and a serotonin jolt of this magnitude will rewire his brain permanently. He is being conditioned by the extreme right wing to keep veering into the deep.

What Musk's hand-picked "Twitter Files" messengers—Weiss/Taibbi/Shellenberger—all have in common is: like Musk they present themselves as independents but spend their time spreading right-wing talking points:

The extremist VC cult has gone completely mask off in their embrace of Q/GOP tactics for destroying even those who tried to work with them in good faith. It’s plain as day who chooses to be complicit.

It’s shameful. And honestly every one of these redpilled VCs who are praising Elon’s bold new management style should be forced to answer. twitter.com/AmoneyResists/…

Often Twitter outrage over a piece outstrips its flaws but not in this case. It massively downplays and buries the QAnon redpill disinfo campaigns Musk engages in, the way he targets critics with harassment or worse. Does disservice to good NYT tech reporters.

We probably need to start pointing out Musk’s larger project here: He is building a rationalization/justification for the Jan. 6 insurrection.
