hey @Lowes, thanks for ruining my and my wife's entire day by promising to deliver a fridge today bet. 9 and 1, only for us to discover - at 3PM, after HOURS on the phone with your customer service - that the fridge was sitting at the store, with no plans to deliver today.
And this is after screwing up the *first* delivery time by promising to deliver between 12 and 4 yesterday when I ordered, then the night before inexplicably shifting the delivery window to 9-12 yesterday, leaving us no time to actually empty the existing fridge.
Breaking my #birdchan silence to post my latest blog post: on the future of the Fediverse (and yes, YOU SHOULD MOVE TO MASTODON.). pollyannaish.com/fediverse-i…
…and the fact that the President of the United States feels the need to point this out is mortifying. How low have we sunk as a society?

Just like using a keyboard, #VoiceTech & #CAI allows users to communicate with a computer.

I went and joined Post, but I think everybody should really move to the Fediverse. 😀post.news/article/2I3Hr94dNB…
OK, that wasn’t my last tweet. And this might not be either. But I’m definitely reducing the time spent here after the frankly evil actions of the current owner of this site. Come find me on Mastodon/the Fediverse at @aelman@masto.ai .

I would just like to say thank you to all the amazing people who built and kept Twitter running. The good has far outweighed the bad. For a good long time this was like the best cocktail party ever.

I was laid off from Twitter this afternoon. I was in charge of managing badge access to Twitter offices.
Elon just called me and asked if I could come back to help them regain access to HQ as they shut off all badges and accidentally locked themselves out.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a joke, as evidenced by the author's responses:

No WNBA player should ever go to Russia to play basketball ever again after how the country treated Brittney Griner, who's been wrongfully detained for 264 days. Bring BG and all wrongfully detained Americans home. #WeAreBG #BringThemHome – at Phoenix, AZ

For all the diligent people still working on the birdsite, if you're thinking of quitting but worried about the customers of your products, don't worry about us. Take care of YOU first. We'll be just fine.

No. This is false. I helped to create two different billion-user projects at Apple: WebKit and iPhone. I was on these teams from the earliest stages and I never once came close to sleeping at the office. It’s not an essential part of doing great work.

Goes without sayin, but actual free speech isn’t dependent on whether Arby’s buys enough ads to promote two for one roast beef sandwiches
