Barnes & Noble is trying to offload their 2022 inventory so they’re doing this sale again — don’t miss it!

I'm finding this website sort of unsatisfying because of the lack of interaction

The war against Ukraine is a culture war. Incredible documentation of the destruction of churches, schools and museums, from the New York Times

Calculating the Toll of Russia’s War on Ukrainian Culture

Russia’s invasion has systematically destroyed Ukrainian cultural sites. A Times investigation has identified 339 that sustained substantial damage this year.

To my friends migrating from Twitter to Mastodon, I can't recommend http://movetodon.org enough for finding your follows on the new site. It will probably stop working soon as Fakesavant Babyman is having multiple tantrums. Takes a few minutes to work, but the "follow all" button makes it easy.
If you're also migrating to Post, Seth Abramson's lists are indispensable.

If you’re going to leave Twitter, please don’t
a) delete your account, because someone bad will steal your handle
b) delete your Tweets, because their existence doesn’t help Elon and it’s like burning the Library of Alexandria.

Twitter captures a real-time historical record of a couple of decades and the billions of individuals’ snapshots are irreplaceable.

The thought of all those tweets being erased makes me feel physically sick.

[please pass on if you agree.]

So is Michael Lewis also embedded at Twitter like he has been at FTX?
