“I'm leaving Twitter. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic.”
- Stephen King
"Even the Master of Horror can't stomach what has become of Twitter (X) since right-wing fascist Elon Musk bought the company."

@Free_Press The Master of Horror was savvy enough to have left much earlier. Not impressed that he didn't.
Twitter was shit long before Musk came along.
He only made it worse and worse, like everything else he touches
@Free_Press The master of horror went on to Threads ... Yeah, well.
@Free_Press I’ve compared what has happened in the U.S. to one of King’s novels in particular CELL where people went insane using cell phones when a coded pulse was delivered into their brains.
@Free_Press hopefully he has induced the other big name authors who have been active there to leave, too. Since I deactivated my Twitter, IDK who is still there, but I hope Harry Turtledove, Chuck Wendig, and Jason Pargin have all left. I think most of the other authors left early on. (JCO is probably still there and wondering why everyone else has left; bless her heart.)
@Free_Press Wenn Twitter Stephen King zu gruselig wird ...
