Might extend my hand to every coworker and shout “Put’er there!” until someone tells me I can take the rest of the day off.

Threads, Twitter, and Bluesky: Our billionaire is better than your billionaire.

Mastodon: You actually don't need a billionaire at all.

Threads, Twitter, and Bluesky: Hold on, we have to ask our billionaire if that's true.

A hint for new users, in case you were wondering how to reach more people here. See, on 𝕏 the algorithm "rewards" your posts by keeping you a certain loop of negativity (go ahead, try to convince me that I'm wrong) which drives engagement. It works in tandem with dopamine and generally it's not that hard to grow your audience fast. Next thing you know you're taking time off because you can't handle it.

On Mastodon real people reward your posts with boosts. So go ahead and write. We got you.

This week, I went over to Bluesky and asked people who'd left Mastodon why they left, and lots of people told me. I grabbed the replies and crunched them and wrote up a summary. I think it's really interesting and often kind of wrenching.

The irony if being on three Twitter-like platforms is that I feel like if I post I will be judged in three different ways 😁

I love these little #Atari2600 boards! Haven't played #ET for 30+ years, but had to have a go. Needed to look at the manual to remind myself what the symbols were. Never realised you could turn the people off 🤦‍♀️ *Finally* got ET home 😄

Gee I wonder why

I'm making a game that has tons of of goofy humor.

It's also about friendship, and doing the right thing, and it's called Twilight Oracle.
