Mars is a freezing cold radiation-soaked desert with a paper-thin atmosphere and no oxygen. Also, no crypto-fascists. Wow it’s looking good.

To be frank, I was already very disengaged from Twitter, and only check in here every so often to see what people I like are sharing. This probably won’t be my last tweet … but then again, it may be.

If you're looking at migrating to Mastodon, try movetodon.org Loads of your followers and people you follow will be there already. And to be visible to others, add your Mastodon handle to your profile.

The tone is very different: much less geared towards grabbing attention (which has been a big turnoff for me for years). I'm optimistic that in the absence of a needy algorithmic timeline that Mastodon will be a better space for real conversation and especially … nuance.

Today I set up my Mastodon account and though it's certainly very early days, I’m loving it. It reminds me of Twitter circa 2008, and nothing at all of Twitter in 2022.

ChatGPT is a really scary robot.

Happy birthday!! (BTW I think getting older is fantastic. Ageing sucks, of course, but being older is gooooood.)

Good on you for getting out. They don’t deserve you.

I can’t see any reason why bad experiences should have an upside. You’re having a really rough time and you’re not under any obligation to find positive aspects. No one should expect that of you.
