This is a fabulous read about an episode that was totally new to me: "‘Why I might have done what I did’: conversations with Ireland’s most notorious murderer" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/20/ireland-most-notorious-murderer-malcolm-macarthur-why-i-might-have-done-what-i-did

“Why did the #TwitterMigration fail?” https://blog.bloonface.com/2023/06/12/why-did-the-twittermigration-fail/
