definitely feels like the business cases for using twitter are drying up.
I tried visiting the twitter account for analogue-co on my phone to check for news about preorders and saw that they no longer show you an account's newest tweets when you're logged out. Probably not a problem for shitpost accounts but not so good if you're trying to convince customers that you haven't disappeared with, for example, their kickstarter money

Don't know who needs to hear this, but the recent explainer about "Web Environment Integrity":
- will not ship in current form (I'll block it; and yes, I can do that)
- was not an "official" Google propsoal. Individuals with @google.com (and @microsoft.com, etc.) addrs do dumb stuff all the time (ask me how I know!)
- is very much worth worrying about as a direction of travel, but not without context

Murdoch's campfire speech seemed like it was trying to suggest something similar to Arthur Machen's The Great God Pan, where a lobotomy-like operation reveals the spirit world. But it wasn't really proofread or very well thought-out so it's just nonsense instead

I didn't like Cliff's route at all. The plot isn't doing much and the use of language is often sloppy. I thought this was due to who was writing it, but the same writer apparently did the most recent updates of all 4 routes and Cliff's never really improved as much as I'd hoped.

IIRC Sam never directly confesses in Murdoch's route, and because of that he ends up as a surprisingly sinister figure at points. The plot has less to do with the intro but the combo of the family drama, the missing kids and Murdoch's knowledge of Echo's weirdness is interesting enough to carry it.

I finished off the current public build of The Smoke Room. I'm assuming there won't be a single canonical route, but so far Nik's seems like the one that follows most logically from the introduction. William's route is funny because after Sam confesses, Will's like "atta boy! lets learn ya to defend yerself" and then it turns into a procedural where Sam's presence is only sometimes required

Mastodon's Mastodon'ts.
There are a few fundamentally broken things about how Mastodon posts work that are terrible vectors for abuse, as well as being bad for basic usability. Maybe they are fixable, I don't know. To be clear: I am a fan of Mastodon....

successfully hitting the same target building in Moscow on two successive days sends Russia a message about Ukrainian capabilities. uncrewed sea-surface vehicles and uncrewed aerial vehicles present similar technological problems.
“This week Ukrainian drones hit a Moscow skyscraper housing government ministries twice within 24 hours. And on Friday, another maritime drone damaged a landing vessel of the Russian Navy near the Russian port of Novorossiysk, a key naval and shipping hub on the northeastern shore of the Black Sea.”

someone should tell Justice Thomas the story about “Caesar’s Wife” and the appearance of impropriety
“The Times’s unearthing of the loan arrangement is the latest in a series of revelations showing how wealthy benefactors have bestowed an array of benefits on Justice Thomas and his wife, Virginia Thomas: helping to pay for his great-nephew’s tuition, steering business to Mrs. Thomas’s consulting firm, buying and renovating the house where his mother lives and inviting the Thomases on trips both domestic and foreign that included travel aboard private jets and a yacht.”
