It's been so warm all evening, the wind is just starting to pick up. Not sure what to expect from the #bombcyclone

Those who argue that Trump should not be criminally liable because no president in American history has been criminally liable overlook the fact that no president in history has staged an attempted coup to change the outcome of an election.

If you find someone who wants to murder the same people as you, never let them go.

Head of product/engineering at #Twitter confirms his departure.

Yesterday was my last day at Twitter. It has been an absolute honor working with so many amazing people in the last 5.5 years. It was wilder than I could have ever imagined with so many stories and unforgettable moments

It is amazing that we have to suffer through this circus because an amoral, cowardly, power-hungry man can't accept that he doesn't have the votes to grab the position he coveted. The fact itself that he wants it so badly shows why he shouldn't have it.

Too often security teams feel that we're not only fighting threat actors but are also at odds with our colleagues. It doesn't need to be this way: https://zeltser.com/cybersecurity-vs-everyone/

I keep saying journalists should leave Twitter and use Mastodon, which is better for them in every way. At TechDirt I've posted a somewhat lengthy why-and-how: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/01/04/journalists-and-others-should-leave-twitter-heres-how-they-can-get-started/

Move away from this gaslighting ethos that a Black or Brown person's character is enhanced by their willingness to forgive or look past acts of racism directed at them.

The current chaos surrounding the election of a House Speaker provides yet another exit ramp for non-MAGA Republicans.

This one may be the last. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-last-exit-ramp-for-non-maga-republicans

It might sound weird but I actually believe that leaving #Twitter & joining #Mastodon made me a much better person.

Gone are the days of doom scrolling through tweets of extreme & hateful trending topics & interacting with people who seemed to be glued to an app for attention seekers.

I was one of them for some 15 years & constantly thought that I need to produce content for likes & RTs.

Mastodon feels like a combination of a Spa & a coffee house chat with kind & like minded people.

As Zelensky said in remarks addressed to Russians on New Year's Eve, one man is not only ravaging a neighboring country but destroying his own with no purpose but to preserve his power. https://www.thebulwark.com/the-ukraine-war-in-its-second-winter-and-beyond/

For every day Republicans go without a Speaker and shut down our government, they should NOT be paid

We would get fired for shutting down our workplace

Why the hell are we paying them to paralyze America?!

@lindyli yup. If we did anything the GQP have done, we’d all be out of a job and/or in prison.
The hypocrisy is stunning!

Creek at Sol Duc Falls
This turned out to be one of my favorite hikes in Olympic National Park.
The hike out to Sold Duc Falls is a fairly easy trail to the falls. The falls are truly beautiful and subject to a different photograph. I love when I'm surprised by these little side tracks on the way to the main event. I found this small waterfall over a decaying log in the middle of Sol Duc Creek.

Apologies to anyone who replied to anything I wrote on here today, I did a toot and was in the car for 10 hours and when I came back it had 764 re-toots and 1.6k likes, no humble, all brag, anyway, I’m not fucking delving in to my mentions.
