When we stop seeing each other as humans who are loved, we all lose

Good night, and good luck.

Good luck today, #USA — I hope all you 18+ citizens got a chance to vote & will see your strong democracy be as healthy as the world needs it to be 🇺🇸🗳️

Is it wrong for me to hope #SpaceX finds a way to spin-off as a publicly-held and -controlled company sooner rather than later?

Struggling to imagine this final #Toronto concert by #Nirvana happened 29 years ago tonight in a hockey arena that is now a grocery store https://t.co/L4AyvkBc08

Thank you to everyone at @Twitter who had a hand in building such an incredible service during the past 16 years — thinking of all of you today, and in the days ahead

Don’t miss reading @ftrain on creativity & #MachineLearning: “It feels gross that someone could say to a computer, ‘I want a portrait of Alex Jones in the style of Frida Kahlo,’ and the computer would do it without moral judgment”

Not just a great headline, but a heartening reminder @Auttomattic still remembers the web of old: “Tumblr Says Clothing Is Optional Again” /ht @the_logic https://t.co/LG0w6jtUDX

Three of my most recommended apps are from relatively small companies, and all sport an icon with a black background and a single white letter, stylistic rendered

Just in case you were feeling optimistic, remember. Everything dies, including information https://t.co/NfEt5C0Xd8

Seeing new (to me) ads on Twitter promoting accounts I should apparently follow, these kind of posts are appearing every half-dozen posts (even if the account writes in a language I can’t read)

[Craig Saila @saila]

Reading
@TheTorontoSun, @TorontoStar or @globeandmail #newspapers signalled who you wanted to be (and maybe we’re) as well as who voted for — it was a badge of pride and a driver of actually revenue for the publications in question as they played off each other for readers

[Craig Saila @saila]

What I find interesting about this stay/go debate (be it Twitter, or before that Facebook) is that few people fold in how political your medium of choice is — countless newspapers thrived on that! https://t.co/5b264ssTWF

Tip: Using a free instance of the very good app @Tweetbot turns Twitter into a read-first medium, and makes posting (or liking or any interacting…) a lot more intentional https://t.co/O2nf0jFWVi

This is a very balanced and well-considered analysis of Canada’s Online News Act — and no matter where you stand on its value, it’s a worthwhile read if you care about #journalism https://t.co/JXCF09XII0

@AmritaGurney The main difference between any instance of the Mastodon servers (and there are hundreds) is the content on it (I think), but you can follow people from many servers

[Craig Saila @saila]

Trying out Mastodon again

Any ways, you can find me there for now under this account name (and I’m mainly using https://t.co/1SAY6oRjzU)

Thinking this little plug-in might help make the transition stick this time /ht @sladner https://t.co/cFChPsqnPA
