Twitter assumes that because I don't follow things or people that I must be new to Twitter. I am comfortable in my own constructed algorithm, thanks. I will find you if you are interesting, productive, entertaining or intelligent (or hopefully all four)
Despite the half a billion tweets generated each day. there is surprising little good content on the first person content I like. Cats on Roombas and Korean Boy Bands are killing this news tool. blog.hootsuite.com/twitter-algori…
On Facebook I had a normal account with a 10K limit. I would hold Thunderdome to see who I could insult to leave to let new people in. Some fans politely volunteered to leave to make room for others. I felt so cruel and sad. I allowed one village idiot. For entertainment only.
Facebook became so insidious and cancel culture that I began speaking out on how Facebook is used by SOF to hunt down terrorists. They even banned tools that would clean you off Facebook. Thankfully and happily my entire account was nuked. No free content for you Zuck.
Like a crazy ex girlfriend, Facebook still follows even if you leave...a VPN is a healthy way to say no to Zuck. It's over Zuck. It wasn't you.. it was me. I just wasn't ready for an obsessive exploitive manipulative dishonest relationship. inc.com/jason-aten/you…

"Russia has staged around 1,200 tanks for a possible invasion of Ukraine. That’s roughly 300 more tanks than the Ukrainian army has in its entire active force." forbes.com/sites/davidaxe…
It's an interesting story about a hard proof of corruption in Turkey and and the effect of the Sedat Peker tapes organized by the UAE via Dahlan. His yacht was seized in Beirut. Now UAE is besties with Erdogan. Coincidence? I think not. bianet.org/english/politi…

Russia is reversing the narrative, playing the victim, being attacked by "Anglo Saxons" which is kinda cute in a Monty Python way. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
Please follow the illegal violation of Ukraine by Russia by faux rescuing Donetsk from a faux Ukrainian invasion. Follow @AricToler

Lots of Ukraine focused experts showing how the Russian media is playing this to the home team. "Attack on a pipeline" is also in the mix. Putin has no shame and later will deny all this. Biden has a wide range of tools at his disposal. #StrippingPsyops
