Early autumn Sunday morning on the east coast - cold enough for a jacket, but you can still go barefoot. Always worth it to see the sun pop out of the Atlantic.

I don't think that the solution to getting folks to adopt the Fediverse is to change the Fediverse.

I think the solution is to show folks how great it is to have to curate your life. How wonderful it is to have to *work* for discovering new information. How challenging your mindset and stretching your grey matter is a positive.

To start with, when I talk about the Fediverse, I always say "the jank is a feature".

Got up close with this little one yesterday. Absolutely no fear. I probably could have gotten closer but my level of comfort was lower than its.

I love how everyone always says “the entity haunting this location may be a sinister demon!”, but the sinister activity in question is opening doors and loitering in photos. That’s not a sinister demon, that’s just a forgetful roommate

Shrinking is the best show I have watched in ages. Writing is top notch and there are so many human things (emotions, relatable life events, etc.) that draw you in.

This random person on the Internet recommends it strongly to anyone that would listen

So, #webKit is it some sort of esoteric security issue that prevents me from streaming multiple device cameras in iOS Safari? 🥺 Really wanting to work through a prototype for my team with that feature. Looks like I’ll have to switch to supporting Android users…only. #browserBan @owa

When all they have is “you’re a liar” and “you’re a bully”, they don’t really have anything at all.

@manton continues to make false claims about me, tonight posting that I have “misled everyone on social.lol with outrage and half truths.”

I’m always willing to discuss real issues. Always ready to have a substantive conversation and work toward mutual understanding. But Manton refuses every single time. For months now, he has dodged the real issues. His sole concern is spinning the narrative and managing his reputation.

I’m going to continue to do what I’ve always done: call out bullshit where I see it. What Manton posted about Jay Graber yesterday was utter bullshit, period. There are two kinds of people in the world: those who understand exactly why it was bullshit, and those who benefit from *not* understanding that at all.

Manton, when you’re ready to have a real conversation about real issues, let me know.

:portland: BREAKING: A federal judge in Portland, Ore. temporarily blocked President Trump’s federalization of 200 members of the state’s National Guard.

On Saturday, U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut granted a temporary restraining order filed by the City of Portland and State of Oregon, halting Trump’s deployment until at least Oct. 17, when she will hear arguments over whether to extend the restraining order.
