Sometimes I think about giving up writing and then i remember i would have to find some other way to live with my thoughts
Casey Newton (tech guy) reports this evening that: “a large number of number of #Twitter contractors were just laid off this afternoon with no notice, both in the US and abroad. Functions affected appear to include content moderation, real estate, and marketing, among others. Contractors aren’t being notified at all, they’re just losing access to Slack and email. Managers figured it out when their workers just disappeared from the system.” Yikes. 😳
They say “We can’t do that. We’re not #Amsterdam.” You respond “Amsterdam wasn’t always like that either,” showing before & after transformations illustrating that the cities we admire made CHOICES.

I’ve been on & off Mastodon since 2018, an emigrant of The First Mass Twitter Exodus. I had a radical town account that I loved so much, but mostly the birdsite is/was like my hometown. I still have an open account.

I’m so grateful that twitter was my first foray into social media & that I’ve been there long enough to appreciate how deeply funny this entire Elon Musk dumpster fire is. I’m also glad because the normie media has NO IDEA how to tell this story! It’s surreal how they don’t get it.

Remember, both Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos and Sam Bankman-Fried of FTX were both Forbes cover kids before the Invisible Hand smacked them down.
