Does any of this enlighten, entertain, or otherwise please you? Please consider a Tip. Every little bit helps!

I last updated this page

Lots of Elon Musk madness going on at Twitter. From a Platformer summary of the last day or two.

…as Platformer was first to report, its chief privacy officer, Damien Kieran; its chief information security officer; Lea Kissner; and its chief compliance officer, Marianne Fogarty, had all resigned…So did John Debay, director of software engineering…much of the security governance risks and compliance team has left…

This is on top of all the folks Musk fired or who have resigned in the week since he took over. Encouraging folks to use Twitter seems unwise at this point.

Nothing profound here. Just means I’m not explicitly syndicating to or tracking WebMentions from there.

The Local timeline has never been more lovely to me than these last couple weeks. I got too enthusiastic with the new follows, and the main feed’s a bit much. I could turn off boosts, but what if I miss a great account to follow?

(only applicable if your host instance has fewer accounts than the number of accounts you follow)

Had to evaluate content as well as capacity to rile up a crowd. My initial list was like 20 tracks and I’m kind of wired now.

@thegibson This is the way, or something. I’ve been accepting (most) follow requests from .social, but I’ve also been warning friends on Twitter and elsewhere about how often that instance gets blocked for noise. 👁️

@thegibson too busy deleting tweets to light anything on fire here.

She’s in the middle of training a new employee while the cats and I stalk a giant berserk housefly. Jumpy Dog cowers. Loud Dog still does not accept the impact of DST’s end on her dinner. #HomeOfficeLife
