I've been on Twitter since May 2009. I was able to use my name as my handle as I must have got in very early! I learned about Twitter working in IT as they were all talking about it. I enjoy following news feeds from reputable networks, journalists from local and international papers and other interesting people. I rarely tweet, but I "lurk" every day. I read everything with an open mind and I enjoyed it when they started calling out misinformation and outright lies.
Since Elon Musk took over, it's been a bumpy ride. A couple of weeks ago my feed almost stopped. I didn't know why and it's now speeded up again. I thought perhaps people left but they are now reappearing. I don't know who is manipulating the feed, but yesterday I read by a well known journalist "I've never followed Donald Trump and now he's back on Twitter, I'm following him. I never asked to follow him, someone did it". I too did not follow Donald Trump before he was banned and look at my feed today:

Today, our former Mayor, Doug McCallum, goes to court to learn his fate on charges of public mischief by lying to the RCMP. While, I figure his overpriced lawyer will get him off, I will watch Twitter to find out what the verdict is. They proved he lied about being "pinned against a car" and Debi Johnston "speeding out of the parking spot" as that was caught on camera. They have no evidence of Debi Johnston "running over his foot" and the video doesn't show him limping after or telling anyone at the store he was run over. Fabricated, yes, but lied to RCMP? It will be interesting and it's in Surrey Court room 101 at 9 AM today! My friend Laurie will be in the court as she has for every day but the first day. It was Halloween and she showed up in costume. She has the green hair and made the front page of The Province newspaper on November 1st!
