Well my friends, I think this is it: I’m out. No more Twitter for me starting in 2023.

I won’t delete my account for now just in case something changes my mind down the line, but at this point you should assume that I am logging off at midnight tonight and won’t be coming back.

This kinda went under the radar in the year-end crush, but congrats to the @SaveStandard folks who successfully defeated Marco Rubio time.

Can’t imagine him getting another sneak attack through the Senate like he did this year & I don’t see how it makes a comeback anytime soon.

Especially true of Twitter users

The internet has made the media landscape much more competitive and empowered customers to get what they want — the big problem of media is that the consumers of media have bad taste and don’t care about the truth!
