My first time back on Bluesky in a long time, it’s so bizarre to see this alternative world. Miss a lot of your faces back on the other app.

@paleofuture.bsky.social gizmodo is completely unusable on mobile. littered with pop-ups, crashes chrome on ios constantly. someone needs to fix it

@kylesgibson.bsky.social miss you already

Regular reminder that I am not active here. Follow me on Twitter/X here: x.com/tomaxwell

I see why I never got engagement on Bluesky. Back to Twitter for me!

Happy Thanksgiving from Martha's Vineyard

Of all the coverage about grocery prices, very little to none include the voices of the workers at these stores I spoke with grocery store workers about 'sticker shock' at the grocery store and their wages not keeping up with it www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I once again want to share "Murder Most Fowl," the This American Life episode about a turkey named Tom that terrorized the residents of Martha's Vineyard before being shot by police www.thisamericanlife.org/452/poultry-...

I wonder: will people who entered the workforce pre-ChatGPT be considered more valuable than those who entered shortly after its introduction? Like would graduating after 2022 be a red flag?

in other "look at where this guy comes from" news, Elon Musk's father just did a lengthy podcast episode that opens with the host saying "I bet the last time you had this many black people in your house someone was trying to rob you" youtu.be/KH1U5x8LXgs?...

Elon Musk’s X/Twitter is claiming ownership of all accounts on its platform in the Infowars bankruptcy case, where The Onion has purchased all assets This reminds you that you do not own your social media accounts "X CORP. OWNS THE X ACCOUNTS." 🔗 www.404media.co/xs-objection...

I wrote an article about trying NA beer back in 2020. They've only continued to rise in popularity since then, and it's totally fine to drink NA alongside real beers if you just want to moderate www.inverse.com/input/guides...

It's ok to feel sad about it. It is genuinely sad. Twitter is where I met my wife, the love of my life and the mother of my children. Now that Twitter is dying, I have no way to contact these three.

A federal judge Monday said he would not immediately step in to stop The Onion, the satirical news website, from buying Infowars, the right-wing website run by provocateur Alex Jones.

Fuck them hop bombs, the lager revolution is long overdue

Elon admits that any post on X with a link is throttled He advises you to upload content directly to X instead, where he can monetize it Musk is the richest person in the world and his view is everyone should work for him for free

Someone gifted me Microsoft Surface Earbuds and they were DOA out of the box, lol. Looked online and this was apparently a common problem and they have been discontinued.

In 2013, BuzzFeed installed a cold brew machine in the NYC office. I was working in SF at the time. Just from watching the slack, I could tell something was off. People were WILDING OUT. Turns out, they were drinking pure concentrate. The person who set up the machine didn’t connect the water. 😳

no thanks

No offense to any of you but "block list manager" feels like the volunteer cop version of being an online moderator so it is not a surprise to me that the ounce of power it gives is being abused

Yes because tweets with links are severely throttled on the bad site, but here they are not and you can get organic engagement without algo tricks

Still haven't been able to find a Lunchly

I'm at the bars in Harvard Square right now, going to find myself a girl who will make a lot of money in finance or something and let me be a stay at home husband

I still think they'll be successful at blunting Bluesky's growth a la Snapchat/IG Stories. A lot of my normie friends never used Twitter but are active on Threads now.

I'm slowly starting to use Bluesky but Twitter still has bangers sometimes

Michael just reminded me that Microsoft literally sent me a kit so I could host a Windows 7 launch party. www.theverge.com/2019/10/22/2... I did not host the party.

We have to unplug the internet.

I was dumb at 22 and am only a little less so now at 28. He'll grow out of this. We shouldn't pillory him so much, imo.
