Since 2008, I’ve loved the idea of Twitter — what it was supposed to be. More and more I dislike what it has become, though. So let’s see if Mastodoesn’t make the same mistakes.
I will talk aboutBoard games. Software, apps, and digital tools.
I may talk aboutMusic. Twitter. Whatever is the topic of the day. Pictures I took. Rats.
I will not talk aboutBrazil.
I was just posting about @phanpy on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/bracht.bsky.social/post/3lkoadihszc2i), so I thought of dropping by and asking: any chance at all it will ever support bsky?

If anyone is building an alternative Bluesky client with #atproto, I'd deeply appreciate if you'd take some clues from Mastodon's Phanpy — especially the way it clumps "boosts" (reposts without quotes) in a single horizontally scrolling panel. Phanpy is really good. phanpy.social

@jasonkoebler Can always record using macOS’s own screen recorder hotkey. It generates a massive .mov file, but then it’s just a matter of converting it to mp4. Maybe it’ll be easier to get a file converter than a screen recorder.

(I wouldn’t be surprised if macOS itself has at least a rudimentary way to do this, since it can convert images in one right-click.)

@Chris @taylorlorenz What do you mean? I just read it all on a two generations old iPhone and had a far from miserable time.
The Verge is such a great website, and the design on their features (especially this one) blows me away. https://www.theverge.com/c/23972308/twitter-x-death-tweets-history-elon-musk
The year Twitter died: a special series from The Verge

Twitter was many things: a news accelerator, a harassment engine, and an infinite joke machine. It will be missed.

@guide Such a hard choice when I try to think with my brain, but such an easy one for my heart. It’s The Star Beast.

It rekindled my love for #DoctorWho in such a triumphant way after so many years of aimless bumbling about. Nothing could top that. It was like I regenerated, myself.

@jynersolives Totally, agreed 100%.

@CM30 These all feel like good predictions, except the last one. I don’t think the Toymaker will ever return.

First, because the Doctor sentenced him to stop existing. He literally doesn’t exist anymore. I know nothing is truly dead in fiction, and doubly so on Doctor Who, but still. It feels very final.

Second, because I don’t think it would be easy to keep getting Neil Patrick Harris back for the role, and I also happen to think his portrayal was so good as to be “definitive”. He is an actual puppeteer, he can do card sleight of hand, he can juggle, he can sing and dance, he IS the Toymaker. I think RTD knows another actor would feel underwhelming in the role.

@jynersolives It’s the classic case of “hey, why not?” This show has done so much wacky stuff over the years, this isn’t a problem at all. At least not in a superficial level — there are certainly bad ways to deal with the concept going forward.
@NoahNews_UK_en Oh, so we’re shamelessly using AI art now, are we?

I am absolutely fascinated by these unusual, creative dice!
