Look, I get it.

Nobody likes to be told that they’re helping the bad guys. Especially when they’ve spent their entire lives self-identifying as liberals or progressives.

You’re on the side of human rights, not the Nazis, right?

Well, this is where actions speak louder than words.

It’s time to stop with the hot takes and dunks.

It’s time to log out of Twitter and never come back.

Do you see how the NRA devalues lives for political gain? It’s amoral.

Making a living as a writer in 2023 is so weird. Your choices are:

* nepo baby staff writer for legacy media fawning over billionaires and peddling fascism
* writing 3 email newsletters a week and making the most obscure one subscriber only
* organizing a community of your fans and charging for access to it
* starting your own publishing business and asking fans to pay you up front to write the next book

Mount Julian (if that's the name) appears to have been hit by a meteorite rather recently. The #HiRISE imagery shows a depression there, but it doesn't look like a crater, IMO. But #Ingenuity's RTE image from #Flight50 leaves little doubt about it:

Incredibly, Twitter has now made it impossible for public safety bulletins to be posted automatically by weather services, tsunami warnings, the MTA etc. This is consistent with Musk’s particular lack of interest in public service. But it also highlights the general problem of building networks on private property - precisely why we need Mastodon and other open source apps to take their proper place at the center of our online communities
