Like a lot of others, I’m going to try to get off this site and be present mainly on Blue Sky. It’s tough as most of my international & non-academic friends are far more on X than Blue Sky. So, join us at Blue Sky if you can. Just hard to justify hanging out with Elon….

Here's my Blue Sky account: @davebrady72.bsky.social If you move over there, follow me and I'll be sure to follow you back. There seems to have been a massive migration and huge uptick at Blue Sky. So, hopefully a critical mass is getting established over there.
