finally made my decision about leaving twitter/X. really sad. i think i was holding on because it’s the place that really jump started my career & i made a ton of friends & connections there. i will miss 2021 twitter a lot. but i like it here, & probably on bluesky too.

Color me shocked that Hur, with a resume filled with GOP operative red flags*, turned out to be a GOP operative. Well done, Merrick Garland, take a bow.

If you've fallen out of practice of wearing a mask, this would be a good week to start again! COVID rates are rising because of a new variant, and because many people will have gotten sick over Thanksgiving. Your best protection is wearing a high quality mask.

Elon Musk bashed the German government for providing some help to migrants lost at sea (and promoted a far-right political party with Nazi roots) the same day that the UN revealed that more than 2,500 people have already drowned this year in the Mediterranean. https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-immigration-migrants-germany-far-right-extremism-twitter-x-2023-9

Elon Musk attacks German support for migrants, boosts far-right extremists

Elon Musk appears unhappy that the German government provided a little more than $2 million to groups that aid migrants, include one that conducts search-and-rescue operations.

As we watch the Republican Party holding our nation's debt limit hostage yet again we should recall their stated intention of many years ago-- to "drown our government in a bathtub", regardless of the countless American lives doing so would devastate.

Well, this is utterly meaningless and worthless. Now the Post is doing the bidding of the Court's corrupt arm....

Alito thinks he knows who Dobbs leaker is — and says it’s not a conservative

Mastodon is an incredibly rare opportunity for open-source, non-profit, advertising-free, decentralised software to be a real contender in a category – and, if it continues to grow, even to pull many other social networks into being part of (or interoperable with) the fediverse.

It's strange to me that this isn't mentioned more in the endless opinions about features, onboarding, UX, "vibes" etc.
