A Funeral For An “X” Friend Named Twitter
After the recent news that Elon Musk would move Twitter to a paid platform, I decided to delete my Twitter account today. To tell you the truth I should have done it sooner. It was bittersweet because I have been on X/Twitter for a long time. My thinking is that it will die sooner rather than later. I also don’t want something like that hanging around because I don’t know what will happen to the things I have done there. So I am pronouncing @tonyburgess1969 on Twitter digitally dead. Rest In Peace, Twitter.
I am on Threads which is getting better all the time. Check me out there.
In The Comments
I try to be positive in my comments on posts. Some people you see come at ya with guns blazing. Maybe before commenting take a breath and contemplate who will be reading those responses. Perhaps I am too sensitive but comments can either lift you up or destroy ya.
I know I have talked about this before but sometimes you gotta repeat to reinforce and remind.
It’s International Left-Handers Day!
International Left-Handers Day is an international day observed annually on August 13 to celebrate the uniqueness and differences of left-handed individuals.
I am left-handed and proud of it. Many remarkable people are left-handed such as my Missus, Prince William, Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, Barack Obama, Eminem, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Morgan Freeman are all southpaws.
Have a great left-handers day to all you good people who observe.

Farewell Twitter, Elon Ruined You
I made the decision to leave Twitter. Well, I’m leaving until things improve there. Elon Musk has destroyed something fun and good on the Web. His decision-making is suspect at best as it comes to something outside his wheelhouse. I don’t think I will return anytime soon though. I am on the newly popular app Threads which seems to be growing quickly. You are welcome to follow me there at @tonyburgess1969. I hope to see you there.
