Australia “allowed its entire store of gas to be flogged off without first setting aside enough of the stuff to ensure the nation's power grid continued humming and that consumers could afford to turn on a light switch”

MY THOUGHTS AFTER 14 YEARS ON TWITTER (a thread)
1/ The analogy of early Twitter as a local pub is a good one. Filled with a lot of good natured banter and testing of ideas.
In Melbourne there was even a regular meet up of users in a real life pub.

6/6 What about today?
Well that cozy pub and source of good information that was Twitter is now a wild beer hall where the publican seems to encourage the worst behaviour, the biggest lies and fake accounts.
Time to find another pub.

So, we’re replacing a former four-star general as Defense Secretary with… the weekend co-host of Fox and Friends?
Unbelievable. Just... wow.

1. Here are my thoughts on the pros and cons of staying on this platform.
Pro: We were here long before Musk took it over. We built this.
Con: He has used our creation to help elect a far-right autocrat, and build his own grim political career.

I just saw Trump’s return to the White House referred to as the beginning of the Turd Reich.
And I can’t decide if I should laugh or cry. 🤪

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.
The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
