the perennial "is this a good replacement for twitter / can it become as big as twitter" discussion is so confused. hominids became bipedal about 7 million years ago. for most of the time since we did not have microblogging. it's not a necessity it's a habit, if it all goes away that's fine

I'm not directly building the Torment Nexus but I am building tools we sell to companies so they can build the Torment Nexus faster and that's been weighing on me.

I think all the time about how Ray Kurzweil's dad died young and then Kurzweil spent his entire life imagining a world where a magic moment would arrive where technology suddenly advanced so quickly he could somehow get his dad back.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

Took a bit of time for me to get a full listen in but the new @themountaingoats.bsky.social album "Through This Fire Across From Peter Balkan" is an absolute delight.
A great listen in a time when so much produced media is designed to illicit outrage.
