I see the Flames subreddit has banned Twitter/X posts, joining news organizations, governments and sports franchises the world over.

Let’s all do our part to hasten the demise of this stupid platform.

And in consistent E=NG tradition, the Oilers sub will continue to allow links from Twitter (never X).

I never even had Twitter but I signed up for a blue sky account, which I will never use, just out of spite.

Signed up at BlueSky, created an account.

So frustrating that I can't deactivate and delete my old Twitter/X account, says I'm suspended for some spam posts. What a garbage dump.

The fact that a Peace Prize nomination is made isnt all that special, look at this list of who can nominate anyone the want

For the Nobel Peace Prize:

Members of national assemblies and governments of sovereign states as well as current heads of state
Members of the International Court of Justice in The Hague
Members of the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague
Members of the Geneva-based Institut de Droit International, an organisation devoted to the study of international law
Members of the International Board of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom
Directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes
Former Nobel Peace Prize winners
Members of the main board of directors or its equivalent of organisations that have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
Current and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee and former advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Committee
University faculty in the fields of history, social sciences, law, philosophy, theology and religion alongside university rectors and university directors

I hope he wins. Nothing means anything.

100% Tariff on Teslas and maybe a few safety recalls as well? Bring on the Chinese EVs!

The problem is the journalists and other content providers in the sports, news and entertainment world will not leave Twitter, no matter how Nazi it or its owner become. So it will not die.

A few of the content providers I follow have left but 90% remain. I’m there as long as that’s the case. I lost 8,500 followers. I set up a Blue Sky account but it’s not the same. Half of my follow requests are women from other countries wanting to date me. I must be a real “catch.”
