I know there are too many fires to fight all at once, but the takeover of the US Treasury payment system by an unelected oligarch has to rank near the top. If you haven’t called your representatives to stop him, do it today.

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

I know it’s dangerous to speculate on motives, but I can’t help but wonder if #UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson would still be alive today if the US had implemented universal healthcare. I know a lot of other people would be.

If you miss TweetDeck and other multicolumn apps and want a similarly good experience on BlueSky, @deck.blue is a really nice option (and the solo developer @gildaswise.com who built it is looking for work if anyone is hiring).

I joined Twitter way back in early 2007, when there were only about 50,000 active users. Once it became X I knew it was only a matter of time until I left, but I thought the feeling was going to be bittersweet. I have to say though, clicking that Deactivate option today just felt sweet.

Starter packs are great— but do take the time to:
1) Look up fav influencers and hunt in their followers to find your friends.
2) follow back (as much as reasonable)
3) Engage in conversations
It’s important to build real mutually-supportive & engaged community here.

I’m torn between wanting all of the accounts I followed on Twitter to make their way here and basking a little longer in the peace and quiet before they do.
