Chris Wetherell. Mostly quiet on social media. Louder offline. Working on Myxt and a new thing. I started Google Reader & other stuff & keep too busy.

@miyukijane @mistrgroves @ringostarrmusic I think being in a band or music group is a top experience. It was for me. What a lucky and beautiful moment.

@miyukijane @mistrgroves @ringostarrmusic Poor Ringo. So much waiting.

But as I can attest: it's very *productive* waiting.

I also think Twitter seems best as a public protocol. But while Elon Musk's wealth makes it possible, the trade-off is a severe loss of trust given his public hostility.

A public good needs leaders inspiring public trust.

He could find better people to control it. Will he try?

In principle, I don’t believe anyone should own or run Twitter. It wants to be a public good at a protocol level, not a company. Solving for the problem of it being a company however, Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness.

@goldman Feels like it's going to be a hard grown-up's hangover. But parts of the notorious machine helped a lot of people and those are parts you worked hard to make better and support. (Thanks.)

This is shocking. The fears and prejudices about trans people have been a distressingly global phenomenon but have an increasingly sinister bent in US politics. This latest move requires alarm bells ringing.

@rachel_elson @tressiemcphd Yeahhhhhh no. In song form:

Your helpful suggestion
should have stayed in the trunk.

Should have stayed a thought
but also not thunk.

You're leaking a stink
that should never have stunk.

Some boats in the harbor
should launch pre-sunk.

Thinking the title of the film "2 Fast 2 Furious" seems like a parody of itself while also being the best representation of the thing it’s parodying.

Is that even ontologically possible? Has to be a philosophical premise already.

(I'm avoiding stress about political conflict.)
