Tech writer Kara Swisher has long reported on tech by getting cozy with it. Her new book tries to make sense of industry ruptures she really should have seen coming.

I am reminded of the words of Frederick Douglass, whose powerful speech on the hypocrisy of celebrating such values while enslaving African Americans still resonate today. Until inequality & discrimination are eradicated, our work as a nation is incomplete.nmaahc.si.edu/explore/storie…

A new Prelinger Archivist is moving to the Bay and looking for housing: East Bay (Berkeley and points N, possibly Oakland); $3000 max; dog friendly; ideally 1 or 2 bedroom with a garage and outdoor space. Hoping June 1. These would be wonderful tenants. Any leads? Thanks!

We lost our Twitter checkmark today. We applied with Twitter to receive verification reserved for government entities. We have not heard back yet.
Anyways. It's a beautiful day in the Bay Area. We currently have 59 trains in service. No delays reported. Thank you for riding BART

RT @peterme: a craven void, an emptiness, a need to feel *something* filled by engaging in this enragement space.

it takes a remarkable degree of self-loathing to be an active participant (tweets, retweets, replies, etc.) here.

Though small for a global social network, #Mastodon's user count just passed 10,000,000, a milestone in its growth.

(And still far more pleasant than the service you're using now.)

Seems like a good time to boost this. And Mammoth has just launched v1.1, with many improvements.
And on Mastodon, um, links, you know, work.

Joining Mastodon (the far friendlier social network) just got easier with the launch of Mammoth, and iOS and Mac client that removes that initial barrier, choosing a server, as they host one.

I've used it throughout beta, and it's a solid piece of work.

The tweets by the people you follow are not the problem.
It's the utterly absolutely mindless inanity of the replies to those tweets that has turned this place into a cesspool. I hadn't realized how bad it was until coming back here from Mastodon. It's... stark.
