I'm not ready to throw in the Twitter towel just yet.  It's taken me this long to get close enough to so many TV writers at once, and dammit, I'm not letting go!

I also just deleted all my DMs, which I should have done ages ago.

Fortunately for me, most of the ones I follow are on other platforms. I am signed up with one or two other artist-centric platforms, so maybe I’ll dust those off and see what’s happening there.
Some people are already looking to jump onto other apps but I would rather take a careful approach. So many People have been signing up for CounterSocial that it got overloaded, but there is already talk that the creator is allegedly a George Zimmerman fan (that psychopath has fans??!)

There were some aspects of Twitter that were becoming a chore, in terms of posting. I was using it more like a news aggregator and a way to circumvent paywalls, lol. At least I won’t have to take a weekly dose of those infamous Twitter death hoaxes.

Twitter has already become unbearable in many ways. I was reading an article a few weeks ago as to one of the reasons for the other platforms failing. It's because the people on there want liberal voices to taunt. They feed from it. 

There is a long way to go before this becomes a reality if it does. Musk despite the reporting hasn't fully secured all the funding and there is the matter of apvl to come.

Anyway once it becomes private not only toxic but it will be filled with ads and people will have to end up paying for a non ad twitter space.   Like youtube. No thanks. I don't even use it much anyway.

Granted, I haven't read much about the Elon Musk/Twitter situation, but what I have read makes two points clear:

1. Elon Musk has killed Twitter.

2. Twitter's CEO and board of directors are pretty much taking the money and walking away.

    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
