@SEACityLight Please join threads so we can get updates in a place that is not led by toxic leadership

[Scott Berkun @berkun]

I'm working on a new book with @bryanzug called The Design Hero Manifesto. Who are our real design heroes? Who should they be and why?

We're launching a substack to involve you in the process. Hope you'll join us.

For those who start the New Year in less than festive mood, consider Tolkien's New Year diary entry from when he was 18 years old:

"Depressed and as much in dark as ever,... God help me. Feel weak and weary."

A thread on Tolkien's unpublished diary entries.

@revin @crtr0 @tapbots And this tweet got flagged for a "nudity, sexual content, violence, gore, or hateful symbols" warning. Endgame FUD bullshit comes in many flavors I guess.

@revin @crtr0 Been liking Mastoot https://t.co/SohcwSI8Kd

Just started trying the beta of Mammoth today and it feels the best so far - https://t.co/ZjXcKhT8mu

Waiting to give @tapbots Ivory app a go once it’s in wide beta - https://t.co/mMMjea2rxx

[Actually, @eaton]

Aha, we’ve reached the “mod loses his shit and starts adding new rules because he had a bad day, banning people who notice and posting angry tirades” stage of the webforum meltdown arc

@jcolman Turns out "He who must not be named" can sometimes be a pretty good strategy

“Religious fundamentalism is dangerous because it cannot accept ambiguity and diversity and is therefore inherently intolerant. Such intolerance, in the name of virtue, is ruthless and uses political power to destroy what it cannot convert.”

It's hard to talk about this stuff. It's all fun and tweets until your family is struggling. The housing crisis causes a lot of pain and I won't stop until it ends.

How can you help? It's simple just say yes to housing.

[NIMBY Patrol @NimbyPatrol]

Almost a year later we were able to find a better, but more expensive option, we had to cut our other expenses greatly.

My rent was high because of NIMBYism, and daycare employees need high wages because of NIMBYism, and the cost of running a daycare is high because of NIMBYism!

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

Billionaire dilettantes have their own stupid definitions of all kinds of important words like "freedom" and "discrimination" and "free speech." Remember: these definitions have *nothing* to do with how the world's 7,999,997,332 non-billionaires experience these concepts. 68/

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

The only reason we're talking about it is that a billionaire dilettante would like to create chokepoints so he can extract payola from his users and meet his debt obligations to the Saudi royal family. 67/

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

The onboarding process for webmail accounts should have a dialog box that reads, "Would you like me to tell creepy randos which emails you read?" with the default being "Fuck no!" and the alternative being "Hurt me, Daddy!" 41/
