There's something all you new people need to know:

Hello, it's great you're here.

Another thing to share about me: I’m on the San Francisco Chronicle #Guild committee and we’re preparing for contract negotiations this Wednesday.

Right now, our main presence is on Twitter and we’ll be sharing live updates from the bargaining table this week.

On top of that, Hearst announced the layoff of 10 Guild members as part of a move to outsource production to Houston. I’ve linked our threaded statement here. Follow along for more #labor #union #solidarity ✊ https://bit.ly/3URA5KG

I have stopped
the microservices
that were in
the infrastructure

and which
you were probably
using
for authentication

Forgive me
they were 1000+
so many
and so wasteful

Today’s guest on our show is Alexandra Horowitz, who founded the Dog Cognition Lab at Barnard. My oldest kid has been peppering me with questions for her. They are so good.

(If you have your own doggie questions, I am all ears.)

Dear Twitter ex-pats. When we all flounced out of Twitter loudly proclaiming we were going to Mastodon this sent a message to trolls, nazis that they could set up servers & come here.

If anyone gets harrassed with hatespeech pls note that that is not the culture of Mastodon. Please report & block those users. If you notice a pattern from the same weird domain, block that domain, write a post of the server name w/ a hashtag fediblock so your server admin can follow up & block it for everyone.

If you download your #Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

So here's a #Python script to convert a Twitter archive to #markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.
