Ukrainian defender under the #AuroraBorealis the week before last. No words for the beauty and poignancy of this shot - shared by a friend and work colleague, Dan Tyler, whose team is in #Ukraine #Aurora #northernlights #weather #spaceweather #byebye
Sure feels like the end-days of #Google +
Fast and furious ending though, on #Twitter.
Employees mostly gone now, sending goodbyes, and sign-offs (like the G+ signal flares but without good options to move to!)
So some are about to be "homeless" (MSNBC just actually mentioned how Mastodon is an option!) I'm seeing creators now asking, "what's happening?" "What's all this buzz about buying checks for $8/month?" "What did Stephen King just say to Musk?"*
I know many are cheering. But nobody forced Twitter on anyone and some people lived there, as they did on Google +, etc.
And IMHO it certainly was a big Town Square with plenty of megaphones and "choice". And #TrumpVirus free of late, to its credit.
Sad. For the promise, for the many who called it home (social & professional/political/showbiz too). And the employees. :(
Flashback to other traumatic endings, themes of "Closing Time", "The End", etc. No more Twitter with verified news & people.

Party over for BoJo, and maybe a party or two...
So why didn't this happen w/ Lord #TrumpVirus? Oh yeah, "democracy". Versus parliamentary monarchy. Hm...
Check out the song, a goodie in its own right (band members are mostly #legends). Certainly timely!

"Bye bye, my friend, goodbye..."
I would bet few people know this song. It's the end piece of an opus from Aphrodite's Child, and the album 👿 666. "Do it".
Not "goodbye" - I don't know why you say goodbye... - but au revoir, hasta luego, so long, ciao for now.
