I’ve returned after a long absence. I was among the first few thousand in the beta and it was fun. When it reached 10K, not so much as X-types started showing up. I’m back to see if social norms have curbed the spread.

Falling out of love is a funny thing. Everything is good, until, suddenly, it isn't. But it's not only romance. Tastes shift out from under the feet across the boards. I just threw over an IDE after 15 years of being mostly ok. Robert Hunter and Blaise Pascal nailed it.

Two months in my proportion of recognized cultural references is asymptomatically approaching zero. I can’t tell if something is a fresh meme or an invocation of the Wayback Machine. My way of life had fallen in the sere. Woe.

Gordon Lightfoot died yesterday, closing out another musical catalog. Whether it was being stuck on the grass where the cold wind blows, or standing on the highway with a sign that just said ‘mother’ he comes down now on the summer side of life.

Look who joined the party!

They should hold the Met Gala on October 31 so that the paparazzi could follow the glitterati as they go to the after party trick or treating along the way

I am inviting emergency management people from Twitter. If you see them, please help them feel welcome. They'll likely be important the next time there is a crisis & people need info. I've been concerned about recent articles that decisions at Twitter have impaired such communication.

Lessons from having my beer held

So. By my reckoning it’s now summertime in Seattle environs. It will be like this, apart from some scorching days and some wet green/gray days. Highs in the low 70s, lows in the low 50s. The sky can take on a milky cast and the air is soft and the skin feels it neither gains nor loses heat. Yeah

It figures

Hell of a kegger, bro

Can’t kick, myself

Let’s get wasted here

Guy I used to follow trying to kill the vibe here with pics of prominent dems (plus Tony Fauci) in orange jumpsuits. Now someone may retaliate with pics of the lower life forms in the remains of the GOP in stocks being pelted with gobs of … . I’m here to get away from that shit show. Damn.

What a day

I lucked in here among the first couple of thousand and had fun. Time has come to conserve the vibe. As a first step, I now follow only mutuals. And I have a hard level of 1,000 for followers and following and that will probably go down to 150 as my graph object of interlocking mutuals. To engage.

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view

A portent. Bluesky is going to take Twitter to the cleaners

Hey kids! Hold on to your OEM molars

I also see yellow, but no blue calipers

Meanwhile, back at Twitter this evening

Celebrate today’s art skyline

Heck yes!

I can almost remember being that limber. I think I was four.
