I left Twitter almost a year ago, so I have no idea what it's like over there. Is it really getting this bad?

Opinion piece by Dave Lee:

"There’s money to be made. X’s new incentive structure has turned the site into a hive of so-called engagement farming — posts designed with the sole intent to elicit literally any kind of response: laughter, sadness, fear. Or the best one: hate. Hate is what truly juices the numbers. "

"I want to state clearly: it is wrong to tell suffering Ukrainians to allow Russians to take over their country!
It has nothing to do with freedom, democracy, and aspiration for peace!" - Olaf Scholz

You can't make this sh*t up!

Trump speaking in Las Vegas yesterday:

And remember, Florida’s easier than other places, you have the ocean and you have the sun. There’s something about that that works. But — you (Nevada) have the sun, too, but you don’t have the ocean, I can tell. You definitely don’t have the ocean. Maybe someday you’ll have the ocean, you never know,” said Trump, who made a motion with his hand before the crowd applauded him.

For a long time I used the Codebird PHP library to handle all the dirty lowdown details of accessing the Twitter API, but for Mastodon and Bluesky I’m putting together my own low-level functions for communicating with their APIs, using cURL with no external dependencies. At least, that’s the plan. Mastodon is coming along very nicely now, but Bluesky is giving me headaches because their docs are esoteric and obtuse to say the least.

Tara Reade, who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, defected to the safe haven for battered women, #Russia.
Tara told #Russian media:
“I’m still kind of in a daze a bit but I feel very good”- The claim that she is #dazed is believable.
“I feel very surrounded by protection and safety” Anecdotally, #Ukraine is not feeling the same protection and safety.
On the prospects of battered women in the #USA “I just didn’t want to walk into a cage or be killed”.

Hoo boy, is there ever a lot of emotion swirling around the #Bluesky issue. I share a lot of the feelings but some of the statements are, um… not 100% fact-based.

So, here is a list of facts about Bluesky and also some opinions.
Tl;dr: It’s not really that interesting yet: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2023/04/28/Bluesky

Jack Dorsey enthusiastically co-signed the deal that betrayed 200 million Twitter users and handed their accounts over to a fucking right wing egomaniacal billionaire. You’ll have to excuse me if I’m not eager to sign up for another one of this dude’s schemes.

My angriest song, written after a breakup, and made from 100% teenage angst.

This one is only available on Soundcloud. I’m not sure about releasing it yet.
