So I kind of gave up on Twitter early this year as it seemed to have descended into a cesspool of crypto scammers and toxic politics. Yet I didn't find any good alternatives... Still looking for somewhere for tech/IT/science/geekery and also running content.

FB: too friends and family focussed, also Twitter was better for off-the-cuff random content. Instagram: Too image focussed / airbrushed content - not everyone's life is perfect and not everything I want to post has an picture. Give twitter another try? Any alternatives?

All the #bm100 runners now have only 14 hours left to finish loop 4, make their final interloopal, and the whole of loop 5. The front runners have already taken more than 14 hours for loop 4, and there are still a few more hours of darkness to go. It's going to be tight!

Just me or has X degenerated quite a bit recently? Mostly running content has gone to IG, not much tech/HPC content (even during SC it was quiet), and very few friends/family posts. Not sure if it's just the feed algorithms but all I see are toxic politics and crypto spam 😞

This is a first for us - an interview with "escapted convicts" Heather and Geoffrey Daunis 😱 milestogether.co.uk/intervie… You'll be glad to know they are back in custody and now deported to the USA 🤣

Looks like we have a winner in this year's @AmazonUK "most overpackaged item" competition 🤦‍♂️ In case you're wondering it's a roller blind, and it actually comes in its own box!
