If Threads supported outbound RSS 2.0 feeds we could avoid the dominance Twitter had over news for so long. There's nothing hard or magical about it, the technology of RSS is simple, and well understood by thousands of developers.#

If you live to be 81, I bet the last thing you want to do, after the life he's had, is to be in this position. We should get behind him, and tell him so, let him know we don't want anyone else, and we
