Starting to pack up and shut things down here. You know where to find me if you want to talk in peace.

There's a lot less hate over there. And we have an edit button. 😄 #XitToSpoutible

I'm thinking of disappearing here for good, especially if it gets X'd. If anyone wants to stay in touch, join me on #Spoutible. Same username. Much friendlier over there, less stressful. Kind of like things were here a long time ago, when I joined.

Reporter: Did you hear Twitter is being rebranded, and the new name is X? Spoutible: Yes, I am partially responsible. Reporter: How so? Spoutible: Because 90% of my users are ex-Twitter users. So Elon is calling his company X because everyone is dumping it.

The Campaigns Officer at the Irish Wildlife Trust has resigned from his position after a blog he wrote criticising farming organisations was edited, and parts of it removed rte.ie/news/2023/0723/139600…

How very radically the landscape must have changed over the millennia since this Wicklow portal tomb was built. From a hugely species-rich wild natural ecosystem down to just sheep + bared grass. No wonder Ireland is among the very worst places for nature on the entire planet.

Earlier this week, I ordered a new food processor to replace my old one. I wanted the same brand and basic model. I'm not a fancy cook. Placed order to click & collect. Paid €119. Got a call several days later, letting me know they don't stock this model anymore, but they...
