Of course I feel like the photo lacks a subject, but you don’t get a lot of choice after hiking up rocks for two hours with a 3kg camera and a tripod on your back, and a smaller camera swinging from your neck, standing on the only flat surface you can find.

Saw this thermometer cricket hanging out on our 🏳️🌈 today.
Its name comes from the fact that you can deduce the temperature by counting the number of chirps they sing.
For Farenheit the formula is
40 + number of chirps made in 15 seconds

Logan's children represent the conflicting political sensibilities reflected in contemporary American politics.
Each child represents a political faction, and throughout the show will argue their case for their ideology to take charge to save the empire.

Logan is a deeply broken man. His rags-to-riches story arc reminds us that the American Dream realized is not often fueled by hope, but rather the trauma endured by violent childhood poverty.

Logan represents the manifest destiny of the American Dream.
His last name "Roy," means "King" in Old French, and has become synonymous with the conservative wing of the American ruling class in the Succession universe.
(Nan Pierce serves as his liberal counterpart, but we'll get to her later.) #Succession #LoganRoy

Let's start with Logan's media empire. Waystar Royco is conglomerate of businesses (perhaps fifty total?) united under one brand. While still powerful, the company is showing signs of decay and people are starting to take notice.
In #Succession, Waystar Royco is The United States.

My Roman Empire is HBO's Succession, and how the show, and all its characters, serve as an allegory for the United States as a dying empire.
That may sound obvious, but I don't just mean the show's themes. There are direct, knock-you-over-the-head parallels if you look for them. And I've been DYING to talk about it.
Thread? Thread 🧵 (Spoilers). #succession #waystarroyco

Once again, mastodon's affordances (and missing affordances) are framing everyone's imagination. There are other options than simply allow list vs deny list federation. Personally, the one I want to see is multiple named federations:
Right now, there's just one federation, named public. There's absolutely no reason we can't have more than that.

The better answer, ofc, is to go back to the pre '90 situation: if you qualify, welcome in! That's the *much* better solution for just about everyone.

There's a lot of extremely cross-pressured ways to think about this, from the policy vantage point. OTOH, I've had friends and colleagues whose futures have hinged on this process, and to find out it has been so thoroughly gamed makes me livid on their (extremely deserving) behalf:

Seattle voters have explicitly and loudly demanded social housing, but this reactionary city council is attempting to delay and destroy it. Right now they are trying to delay I-137 (despite it having the numbers) to a low-turnout special election next year instead of the November ballot, and trying to muddy the waters around it to distract voters.
Tell them to act without delay! Only takes 30 seconds.
Boosts appreciated!

Blogs are still a thing, and blogs have always been a thing. They didn't go anywhere. My technical blog is thriving.
People come back to old posts constantly.
Something I posted 10 months ago is still my top performing post. Social media posts are ephemeral & if something happens to your content - it's gone.
Host your own blog, control your content. My social media posts may max out at 500-1000 views but my page views have a consistent baseline of 30k/a month. And I haven't posted in a bit.
