Statement by President George W. Bush on Timothy J. Keller:

"Tim Keller was one of America’s foremost Christian thinkers and preachers. He was a great church builder, a prolific author, and a profound philosopher. I’m fortunate to have gotten to know him. And I’m one of many who is blessed to have learned from Dr. Keller’s teachings and benefited from his compassion. Laura and I wish Kathy and their children peace."

@mariachong @Weather_West @theSpringApp I am totally enjoying Mastodon for what it is—nerdy and low-key.

And I’m enjoying Bluesky for the interesting Wild West that it is.

But Twitter is still interesting to me. I just hope the new CEO cleans it up a bit—and that Musk allows her to.

[Wesley Perdue @wesleyt]

Three things:
- two of my favorite people on here (@mariachong and @weather_west ) haven’t moved anywhere else,
- there’s a new Twitter CEO, and
- I found today that the @theSpringApp third-party client still works.

It seems I’m back, kinda.

[Wesley Perdue @wesleyt]

Goodbye for now, Twitter! It’s been an awesome ride. I’m logging off indefinitely and deleting the client. Killing Tweetbot is too much for me. I’m wesleyt on mastodon dot social. Long live Ivory and the fediverse!

P.S. I'm also on Post.

Random thought of the moment: I love the Dynamic Island.

I’m breaking in my mortar and pestle and molcajete. This is after the first batch of rice each.

@iainbroome I still use 1P. I switched to a subscription early on and it’s working great for me. I’ve been using 1P since 2008 I think.

I do depend on Apple, but not completely. My email is with an independent third party, @Fastmail, whom I highly recommend. I do trust Apple though; their customer service has never let me down.

[Wesley Perdue @wesleyt]

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket that offers no customer service whatsoever.

Two things:

1. I started Picard today. I really like it, and I’m looking forward watching the new episodes as they’re released.

2. I finally watched Ready Player One today, and I loved it.
