Six US lawmakers have urged the FTC to take action on the merger of Kroger and Albertsons. Living in the Seattle area, this would effectively mean there was one company running the majority of the grocery stores in the area.

I continue to be perplexed that the FTC has so much focus on novel interpretations of antitrust laws to apply to big tech companies when there are many textbook monopolies harming American consumers which seem to be on the back burner. It’s bonkers.

The best thing about Elon posting some crazy idea about how to ruin Twitter is when Jack shows up to agree and throw the old leadership under the bus forgetting he’s the old leadership.

I've opened a can of worms. They just sit there, the worms. Hardly the chaos that's been advertised.

Mastodon's Mastodon'ts

There are a few fundamentally broken things about how Mastodon posts work that are terrible vectors for abuse, as well as being bad for basic usability. Maybe they are fixable, I don't know. To be clear: I am a fan of Mastodon. I have been enjoying my time there much more than I ever enjoyed Twitter or Facebook or Instagram.
