Spending most of my social media time these days not here, but rather at:
• Bluesky (politics and general fare): https://bsky.app/profile/cfoh.bsky.social
• Facebook (special-interest groups and friends & family)
• Reddit (special-interest groups)
I still think my favorite SM platform so far has been Google+ ... it had great features and a terrific community (and politics weren't as toxic then). I don't think we'll see its like again any time soon, if ever.
If you play the NYTimes 'Strands' game, this post contains the solution, so scroll on by if you wish to avoid it.

In their listing of generations, which one did they omit? #GenX, of course. It's amazing how consistently ~65 million people are simply forgotten about.

Whatever else you think about the Hunter Biden case and the way Joe Biden pardoned him, it is crystal clear proof that the thing defenders of democracy swear they'll do in a second Trump term -- rise to the defense of those targeted for political prosecution -- they already failed to do.
I'm glad #BlueSky exists as a place for folks to switch to from X with the main emphasis being to make that switching cost as low as possible. As a model, I don't think it's a good one -- it's another for-profit that inevitably will go down paths that run counter to public interest.
Continuing to build the fediverse will take longer and be more difficult. When folks who just made the switch to platforms like #BlueSky are ready to build a lasting alternative with us, we'll still be here.
I'm going to try a new approach to life: Don't worry about things changing unless either (a) it's my responsibility to manage whatever is changing, or (b) the net result of the change is overtly and obviously harmful.
Am curious to see if this lowers my overall stress. After all, change is inevitable.
