So long for now, Twitter

Apparently Musk is allowing Trump back on Twitter... which was my final straw for what I was willing to tolerate, even after Musk's chaos. Thus, for now, I'm signing off of Twitter, and will try to use Tumblr (as well as Mastodon, Instagram, and my blog) more. Granted, Twitter's immediate future might make pulling out moot (I expect downtime due to the World Cup, on top of any bugs/security breaches/other problems), but still...

As for Tumblr, I figure I'd use this page to A) catch anyone who isn't using any other services, B) as a makeshift stand-in for a Facebook page, and C) to post links to my blog. I'm not sure I quite fit into Tumblr culture, though. Still, we'll see how here works out. Wish me luck!

The reason given for these actions is cost-cutting: a tax break available in mergers for writing off incomplete projects (like Batgirl), and savings on residual payments for the cast and creators of series. God forbid the artists make a few crumbs! Meanwhile, the CEO’s compensation package in 2021 alone was valued at $241 million. This is capitalism at its most absurdly cannibalistic, of profits based on destruction.
