Two quick points: 1. Every stated reason that these guys say the left twitter for is *worse* now. 2. It is social media. It is not in any way necessary. Even if if it were, anything consequential gets reposted here, masto, etc.
I am way too online for my own good, and I had an unreasonably large twitter following, and I really *enjoyed* twitter for a lot of years, and yet leaving there and never looking back was maybe the easiest what-felt-like-a-big-ethical decision I've ever made.

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”
“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

There is a food crime even for @scalzi.com, who I also saw was enjoying a coke (the cola) and nog mixture.
Someone is going to Hell for this
This is a good alternative to the more traditional: 1. skip the lattes 2. only buy in season 3. wait 24 hours before making non-essential purchases 4. be born into generational wealth 5. call your internet company every 6-12mo to negotiate on prices
The secret to early retirement; dine out rarely, fly economy and be a Google employee making $390,000/year married to a fellow Google employee 17 years older than you who likely makes twice as much as you.
@aoc.bsky.social Primary this guy, please. We need leaders and reps that don't remember where they were when the Model T was unveiled.

I guess I actually was pretty mad about that stupid golden paperweight www.anildash.com/2025/09/09/h...
Playing "what would Steve have done?" is usually a dumb game, but lining up to blow a wannabe autocrat the weekend before they announce another year of the most boring, incremental updates is definitely not it.
Spot on by @anildash.com: “The son of an immigrant, a child of the counterculture, a man offering an unmistakable fuck-you to Big Brother, and a person who, above all, would never kiss the ass of someone who had absolutely awful taste. This was Steve Jobs." www.anildash.com/2025/09/09/h...

trying to explain dental plan coverage and having to raise my voice higher and higher above their incredulous laughter
Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

Holy shit you should have kept this one in your drafts.
As the federal government conducts chaotic immigration sweeps across the country, the state is deploying additional CHP to maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace. It's not their job to assist in federal immigration enforcement.
