నేను సైతం విశ్వ వీణకు తంత్రినై మూర్చనలు పోతాను. Eats shoots and leaves. Can Wordle in three languages. Prefers funny GIF's. Mostly on Mastodon.

I’m outta here folks. Did a trial run for a few days. Going to stretch this for longer. Find me on Mastodon, IG, FB, LinkedIn, Substack, Flickr, Metafilter… anywhere but here.

@elonmusk Here is the full quotation from Alcuin, with translation:

With the right filters etc, Twitter offers a certain unexpected serendipity, an ability to read about something you didn’t know before. A bit like Slashdot used to do or Metafilter does. FB simply doesn’t, Mastodon may but as yet doesn’t. Therein lies the rub.

I don’t think Twitter is going to end tonight or whatever, but I’m glad I was able to download my Twitter archive and retrieve this.

[Akshay । అక్షయ్ @cydonian]

Downloaded my archive, was looking at my tweets in chronological order, and found this tweet from 2008.

Yes dear reader. We've been happily married for the last 11 years.

Social networks come and go. I gave up Twitter for easily 4-5 years before restarting it again. There will be something else. And also, I’m not sure it’ll go down so quickly; Melon Husk somehow seems to be quite vested in the Twitter brand.

@Aerohaveno Yeah, love them 19th century Romantic poets, so any spoof built on top of their work is a win for me. :D

[Akshay । అక్షయ్ @cydonian]

@Aerohaveno The best so far. :D

@mkhanpasha Tabasharani? More like Rani of the fur Tamasha amirite.

Seriously though, love this. Big Quebec history buff; would love to learn more!

I know my main man @aasif has done lots of interesting things in his life, but in this household, he'll always be the voice of Meera The Royal Detective's dad. #weareonthecase #weareonthecase

@PradyuPrasad My suggestion is this: when you have time and space, travel, live and learn outside. You can always return to Singapore if things don't pan out.

@PradyuPrasad Lived in London briefly; loved it to bits. Felt quite sad returning to Singapore. Singapore gives me what I call as fuck-off-ability: the ability to say "fuck off" to something if and when they go south. Felt it was a lot harder in UK.

@vieira_tiago_ @veenadubal Lived in Barcelona previously. Took Spanish lessons, but thanks to my neighbourhood, picked up more than a smattering of Catalan. 🙂

Now that the Emperor is in charge of the Galactic Senate, we can move on from silly questions like, "Who ordered the murder of all of the Jedi?" and "Who blew up Alderaan?" to focus on the REAL issue - what was on Han Solo's laptop???

So. Another long story about our yesterday trip to #Mykolaiv and #Kherson. Danger: 🧵

"One of the claims went largely unnoticed in the United States but caught my eye: His lawyers argued that Twitter had engaged in “risky litigation against the Indian government,” and put one of the largest markets in jeopardy."

#BREAKING Corrupt, autocratic, spiritual leader of US far-white Shite Christianist anti-math insurgents, Grand Covfefe Donald "Papa Don" Trump, launches fresh bid to retake country from unpopular Joe Biden regime, two years after he was defenestrated following blood-soaked reign.

@gautambhatia88 Not readable fiction, but I'm in a Cowboy Bebop phase and think it's epitome of good taste.
