@tberkley I set up a Mastodon account several years ago, but I still don’t grok how it even works. I’m kinda keeping my fingers crossed that 1) Elon gets tired of igniting $$billions, 2) he sells Twitter for a song to some startup/nonprofit, 3) they resurrect it without the nazis.
@tberkley@prairielaura I am.

It’s easy to feel smug about the crypto collapse, but honestly who could’ve predicted that an asset with no intrinsic value of any kind would eventually become worthless?
@LCLoudmouth@WesKCMO I bought an AV receiver from a guy on Craigslist who had dozens of them for $100. No remote, but bought one on Amazon for $15. Bought a 5.1 speaker system from https://t.co/ABkYNIUAf1 for $120. Plus $40 in speaker wire. Get the banana plugs to make connections easier.
