Tweeps are just hanging out in Slack saying nice things to each other until their access is cut off. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Some really incredible people leaving Twitter tonight. We are all worse off without them there

Been thinking why this is all night.
We talk about Twitter as a conversation layer for the internet, but maybe more accurate is a *context* layer for the internet, providing meaning and perspective to external events.
Birdwatch resonates because it speaks to this core.

Im blown away. #StuffTheBritishStole was the highest rated show in its timeslot last night with over 600k people tuned in across the nation. I never would’ve dreamed that this little idea would get so big. Stay with us! Cos the stories get wilder each week. @ABCaustralia

Already available in some parts of Australia, in partnership with local fire agencies (thank you!). If you live or regularly spend time in bushfire prone areas (shout out @kangaroo_island) immediate, accurate info is so important.

Surprise! @volvoaus will be getting out of petrol and diesel vehicles in Australia by 2026 — four years earlier than its global target — calling it a “shrinking business”.
And it only launched an electric vehicle in Australia last week. newcastleherald.com.au/story…

#Sydney's exceptionally wet year continues.
The city just had its wettest January-to-October period on record by a whopping 341.8mm. The previous record was 2054.4mm from 1950. The new record set this year is 2396.2mm.
Annual rainfall data in Sydney dates back to 1859.

Mundane Halloween is back!
Japan does Halloween better than anyone, but best of all is the annual "mundane Halloween" contest sponsored by website @dailyportalz.
The point is to dress up as something super ordinary.
Here are some of my favorites from this year...
