Princeton historian Kevin Kruse is done with Twitter (X)

Back in 2018, in Episode 34 of The Way of Improvement Leads Home Podcast, we talked with Princeton historian Kevin Kruse about his use of Twitter to engage with the public. At the time, he had over 84,000 followers. A lot has changed since then. Today Kruse made this announcement to his 477,981 X followers:

This site has gotten steadily worse with every "improvement" Elon has made, but this weekend made it clear that it's no longer a place to get and discuss breaking news.

I'll leave my account up and open so people can use the threads in my pinned tweet, but I'm deleting the app from my phone.

You can find me at S-bst-ck and Blu-sky, under the same handle.

The right call. Thank you for making this place bearable the past few years.
