The Association of Internet Researchers has decided that we will ramp down our use of Twitter, effective immediately.

Instead, we are shifting our activity to Mastodon, where for a few months we have been running our very own server. 👏👍

This means that we will not be tweeting during the #AoIR2023 conference. Instead, we will be posting on AoIR’s Mastodon instance (https://aoir.social).

Membership of this instance is a benefit of AoIR membership. AoIR members have recently been sent an invite link; if you are not a member of AoIR, why not join and also get access to our online community?

The province owns over $60-billion in school real estate & selling off school lands is the next profiteer frontier for the Ford #Conservative govt.

#Bill98 gives MoE #Lecce the power to force school boards to sell unused land, ostensibly for 'housing', but land purchases by private entities is not ruled out.

Bill 98 is a real estate power grab and nothing more; it does not help school boards serve students as Ford continues to underfund #Ontario education.

OMFG

“There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately…COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.”

Conspiracy theorists go from 0 to blame Jews in a nanosecond

If you’re a journalist writing another story on why RFK Jr isn’t getting enough press coverage then I need you to get up, find a brick wall, and walk into it at full speed.

Also the irony of Elon running to the courts to try to enforce contracts is 💯. *

* At least I think its ironic, Alanis really screwed me up on that one.

Twitter: I follow news and political giants, but all I see are bad people and arguments
Bluesky: I follow 10% of my old friends who were able to get out of twitter in time and sometimes it works
Threads: I follow my friends but I can’t see them through the algorithm of businesses
Mastodon: oh look a beekeeper in the Netherlands

Doubling down on the obvious lies makes me wonder how embarrassing the truth is.

At times, even for a brief moment, you must slow down to speed up.

to recap: google is mad at people using youtube ad blockers because they don't want to give away their content for free, and mad at the canadian government for charging them to use news stories because they want to get their content for free.

Happy birthday to the 19" equipment rack, which turns 100 next month. From the July, 1923, Bell Systems Technical Journal: "All panels are to be of a uniform length, designed to mount on vertical supports spaced 19>< inches between centers. The height of the different panels will vary, according to the amount of apparatus in each unit, but this vertical dimension is in all cases to be a whole multiple of 1-3/4 inches."(p139 at https://archive.org/details/bstj2-3-112/page/n27/mode/2up )

"Reddit is a Dying Mall" (by me!)

I predict that what will happen to #Reddit is the same thing that is happening to Twitter and has already happened to Facebook and frankly, actual shopping malls. The business side of things will churn along divorced from the content which will become ever more generic and culturally irrelevant.
