Will OremusIf this goes how I expect it to go, get ready for another big surge in Mastodon's popularity.

Critic, curator, baker, wanderer.
I really enjoyed this conversation with A. O. Scott about why he's leaving his job as chief film critic at the New York Times. Sometimes there's a beautiful clarity in giving up. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/23/podcasts/the-daily/ao-scott-film-critic-american-cinema-movies.html

Nothing sends me back to Mastodon quite like new Twitter breakdowns.
Great website with a feed of everything produced by and about the Webb Telescope, including raw images. #astronomy https://jwstfeed.com/Feed
Despite everything I think I still prefer Twitter to Mastodon simply because Twitter is where people are (at least for now). It's like the difference between a big city that might be a dangerous and corrupt but still fun, and a small town that's safe and boring.
I find it strange when people post stuff on Mastodon like "This place isn't about scale or mass adoption." I think one of the best things about Twitter is scale and mass adoption. A critical mass is needed in order for interesting subcultures to intermingle with a broad national/global conversation. Small clubs are good too, but that's what group chats are for.
