You may notice that for the first time in many years, Twitter/X is not on the list. That’s because I have decided to leave Twitter. I have endured Elon Musk as long as I can. I refuse to support him and the group he represents in any way. His full-throated endorsement of Donald Trump is a bridge too far for me. So, I left.

Leaving Twitter was hard. I have 15,000+ followers on Twitter. A number of those are real friends. I will miss them sorely. Some of them have followed me to Bluesky and I deeply appreciate that. I have to get Mr. Elon Musk out of my life. I don’t want to see his stupid tweets, lame attempts at humor or his toxic politics.

Principles matter. I have always tried to live an ethical and authentic life. At the end of the day, can I face myself? Did I live up to what I believe is right or not? One has to be able to live with oneself.
