I'll be posting to my blog (https://t.co/RK6OGMiQ8w) and Mastodon (https://t.co/w2VvwfyhqI) from now on. If Elon leaves and Twitter ceases to be a fascist dumpster fire in 2023 I may return. Maybe.

And for my final Tweet before logging out until @elonmusk is gone from Twitter, I'd like to encourage everyone to go to https://t.co/s5EiTir9Ls to find an instance that fits your style, then to follow me at https://t.co/w2VvwfyhqI

Goodbye.

For anyone with an interest in aviation, a cool fact is that you can track jets using publicly available information.
Unfortunately, @elonmusk is such a thin-skinned dictator that he blocks us from sharing a cool example, so here's a pic:

I’m officially done with #Twitter until #ElonMusk is gone. Leaving my account as a redirect but I’ve deleted the app from all my devices and will be signing out once I’ve migrated a few website logins.

Successfully installed a plug for my kiln. I don’t know if I’d want to do it as a job, but I do enjoy a bit of #DIY wiring now and then.

A nice morning for picking up wire from Lowe’s.

“I read that, yes. Apparently the survivors of Coven come back later to fight the antichrist baby from Murder House.”
A text I just sent. A series of words I never thought I’d put together.

The Minecraft server is only for my family and my kids' friends, so we never have more than five or ten people online at once, but based on what I'm seeing from the load monitor we could hit twenty without trouble.

It's important to note that I'm currently the only person on my instance and it'll never go higher than ten people.

I need a month or two to be sure, but so far I'm really impressed with running both Mastodon and Minecraft on Oracle VMs.

I'm currently on the free tier, but the pricing estimator seems to indicate that the small servers I'm running would only cost abou… https://t.co/gLS8K26L4D

Any time I feel just a little bit hungry for a couple hours, but don’t stuff my face, it feels like a win. It’s been easier to diet with Cymbalta, but I still LOVE food a lot.

Today I learned that some sewage treatment plants use catfish.
This came up because the boy and I started talking about what would happen if a fish got flushed into the septic tank.

I had an unusually large number of dreams about our Roomba cleaning and/or destroying various rooms last night.

This looks remarkably easy.
Though the thought of my kid standing in the driveway power washing a deer skin is rather comical.

I've been avoiding #FlorenceAndTheMachine for two years because my x and I loved her so much together.

It's time to break the seal. I miss Florence and all her weird glory.

Important news, but also highlights how Social Security is barely adequate.
And don't forget that some workers (such as many railroad employees) are exempt from Social Security taxes and have n amazing company pension waiting for them... if they don't ge… https://t.co/pQ1LYL9Rue

"If you could change one thing about the internet, what would it be?"

For me, it's a really tight call between utterly destroying the concept of SEO and causing all Nazis to literally burst into flames if they try to post anything.
