I was so sure that Ben Shapiro/Frozen thing was satirical.

I apologize for underestimating Ben.

Actor TOM WILSON was so tired of being asked the same questions about playing BIFF in BACK TO THE FUTURE…

…he decided to answer all of them in a song.

How would we know that Twitter has become a ghost town?

I think it’s happening already, and we know because Elon accidentally told us.

My latest, on Substack:

What a time to love indie apps. Third-party Mastodon clients are bringing back a sense of curiosity and excitement I hadn't felt since the heyday of Twitter clients in 2009-2011.

What am I missing? Are you working on one not on shown here? I'd love to know.

Time to work on a story 💪

So the latest troll on Techdirt, who insists on posting anti-LGBTQ slurs while posting dozens of comments about how Techdirt is evil for supporting harassment because we support Section 230, showed up with a new account tonight, and started posting *racist* slurs, and again attacking us.

I call this shot “immediate prelude to violence”
