Thrilled my short story "Between the Dark and the Dark" was included in 2020 Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy, edited author of Outlander Diana Gabaldon! #scifi #space @johnjadams johnjosephadams.com/best-american/…

I'm taking a 6 week break after the Twitter buyout until (hopefully) the chaos quiets. If it doesn't, I'll leave for good. I have friends on this platform I've never met, but who I love to hear from. Will miss you. It's not hard to find me.


I’ll never get tired of jacaranda trees like this on the street.

Downloading my Twitter data. Will see how exportable the data is and how I can reuse it. Really disgusted with what's happening on the platform.

Batman 2: Man Batter

What’s your best pick for #TheBatman sequel’s title?



I spent Drive My Car thinking about the car, because I used to have the same model (900 S, not the Turbo). The real Saab was super loud and poorly insulated - though a beautiful machine. I don't know how they recorded the dialogue in all those scenes.

There are some dark patterns out there but placing a hair on the screen to get the user to swipe is next level

Key role to watch at Twitter is what happens to Vijaya Gadde, General Counsel. She has been both a passionate defender of free expression and also integral to weeding out vitriol on the platform. If Musk kicks her out, get ready for a rocky ride.


So the open source alternative to Twitter is Mastodon. But I don't know anyone who actually uses it. (Part of the network effects problem - very hard to start a new club at scale.) Anyone tried it? joinmastodon.org


Just to be clear this is for that other platform and not Twitter. Maybe could do both?

The @OversightBoard is currently hiring, including for Vice President of Policy & Content Review. More info here: oversightboard.bamboohr.com/jobs/?source=o…



I'm trying to understand Musk taking over Twitter. It feels punitive, in the same league as his former Paypal colleague destroying Gawker. The SEC challenged him on his use of Twitter so he wants to buy it. You don't like how I drive? I'm going to buy the road.


Just picked up Disco Elysium and the creepy voice acting literally scared my wife out of the room. It is DARK.

Who came up with the "Estimated Reading Time" idea on articles? Where was it first implemented? I remember @Medium doing it. Was there someone else?

Love this

Obama proposes some values he thinks social platforms should adopt when making decisions that affect speech. - Whether it strengthens or weakens the prospects for a healthy democracy - Whether it encourages robust debate and respect for differences



This just dropped out of my garbage on the way to the trash. Perfectly normal.

If anyone tells you it's a good idea to eat lots of pickle flavored popcorn, don't listen to them. It makes you very thirsty. And feel weird.
