Wake up, drink coffee, run, immerse in tech, be kind to people, never stop learning, enjoy life.

I've been sober for 15 months. 2 Years ago on this Thanksgiving day, I woke up with a hangover so bad that I immediately had to start drinking again just to function. I realized on my run this morning that my wife and I have very few friends in our lives. The old drinking buddies don't take the time to try and cultivate meaningful interactions. Life is wonderful, sobriety is a gift. Please be safe and enjoy your loved ones on this day of thanks.

Today in #Movies #History: Walt #Disney Pictures released #Pixar #Animation Studios #ToyStory to theaters in North America. This was the world's first (entirely) #computer-animated feature #film. How far we've come in 27 years! #nostalgia #toys
@ChrisPirillo Holy smokes!! It has been many moons since I've seen you around. I'm a long time fan! It's great to see you here! #lockergnome

This is a big problem for Mastodon.

Canadian journalist Erica Ifill just had her mastodon.online account suspended without explanation. She's been sharing stuff critical of Mastodon re: intersectional issues.

I get the decentralized structure and idea that each server has its own rules. But this Reddit-style moderation, where moderators with god-complexes make mysterious and arbitrary decisions, is going to cause people migrating to Mastodon to flee in droves.

I don't want to just be posting about numbers like a clock, but the 2 million mark of monthly active users across the network is a pretty big deal. This is going big numbers! Shout out to all the server operators who are absorbing this wave.
