Looks like he's actually taking over. This is my last day on Twitter. I left FB years ago due to (among other things) their elevation of Nazi propaganda as a trusted news source. Down to Discord for now. If you want to stay in touch, LMK. DMs open. May the Force be with you.

@kirbykrackle It's about 4 hours in. The link I pasted is time stamped.

@kirbykrackle Thought you might enjoy this take on a nerd rock classic.

@hime_sawada I usually skip recaps. And I've never written to a cast member before. (I also swore never to use X again.) But I have to say: you really bring Tina to life, and you made the recap a delight. Don't underestimate yourself. You're talented, dedicated, and intelligent.

It's been a year, and Musk's actions have only proven that quitting Twitter was the correct and moral call. I do miss some things, like Spoonie Chats with @DawnMGibson, but it's necessary. Mastodon has been good. I'm not coming back here.

Before everything burns to the ground: I just set up @[email protected] on Mastodon. No idea how much I'll use it. But it's there.

@CapehartJ Notice a problem here? The guy in gray on the far left is the sign language interpreter. The reason we can no longer see his right hand? B-roll from the previous night that doesn't show anything informative. Please ask producers to reconsider in the future.

@Tinu @PanickedFoodie @rahaeli Supposedly MeWe is liberal Facebook. Again, no ads, so they're not mining and selling data. But I never had the spoons to find people there and make connections.

[Paul-Gabriel Wiener 🐼🎙️💉💉🅾️😷 @hataroni]

@Tinu @PanickedFoodie @rahaeli DreamWidth is LiveJournal rebuilt by the original team. It's blogging, not social media. There are communities. IDK how it is now. I haven't used mine in years. But I have a lot of respect for Rahaeli, and FWIW she's a liberal disabled lesbian who takes pains to be accountable.

[Paul-Gabriel Wiener 🐼🎙️💉💉🅾️😷 @hataroni]

@Tinu @PanickedFoodie Also, if you want GOOD TOS, it's DreamWidth. No ads on the site. @rahaeli is someone I genuinely trust to be proactively respectful, listen and hold herself accountable, and stand up for marginalized communities. But IDK if LJ long form blogging is where it's at.

[Paul-Gabriel Wiener 🐼🎙️💉💉🅾️😷 @hataroni]

@Tinu @PanickedFoodie And where you draw the line. I have MeWe, Cappuccino, and DreamWidth. I might try Mastodon. Haven't been using any of them. Barely been using Twitter. Basically just Discord. But I'll get your newsletter and Patreon so I can be sure to keep you in my life.

[Paul-Gabriel Wiener 🐼🎙️💉💉🅾️😷 @hataroni]

@Bluestar888 LMK if you do.

[Paul-Gabriel Wiener 🐼🎙️💉💉🅾️😷 @hataroni]

@ce_murphy This might be helpful? ⬇️

I need to look into it, too. I'll keep an eye on your newsletter to see where you go, but I'm out of here. might have to give Mastodon a try. Maybe dust off MeWe? IDK.

@PanickedFoodie @Tinu The red flag for me isn't the TOS. It's the scammer in charge. Occ Dems has always trafficked in disinformation and stolen IP. If you told me they were a Russian influence op, I wouldn't be surprised. I blocked them years ago. No way I'm going to a platform they run.

Excellent segment on the @PBS @NewsHour about disability and accessibility. I'm so grateful for this coverage and the way they respectfully framed it. 8 minute video here:

So, if I understand the lobby picture correctly, the guy buying Twitter is promising to sink the platform? Or is looking for the drain to flush it down? That seems about right.

This is good to know. With updated data, some companies have extended the expiration dates on their at-home COVID test kits. https://t.co/7JBjpXlFNr

Just have to share this again, while US friends are more likely to be awake.

Stephen underestimating the @colbertlateshow audience is going to live as one of my all-time favorite Colbert moments.
