So Long For Now, Twitter
So long for now, Twitter
Apparently Musk is allowing Trump back on Twitter... which was my final straw for what I was willing to tolerate, even after Musk's chaos. Thus, for now, I'm signing off of Twitter, and will try to use Tumblr (as well as Mastodon, Instagram, and my blog) more. Granted, Twitter's immediate future might make pulling out moot (I expect downtime due to the World Cup, on top of any bugs/security breaches/other problems), but still...
As for Tumblr, I figure I'd use this page to A) catch anyone who isn't using any other services, B) as a makeshift stand-in for a Facebook page, and C) to post links to my blog. I'm not sure I quite fit into Tumblr culture, though. Still, we'll see how here works out. Wish me luck!

Yes, RSS readers still exist. I look at some of my favorites.
For the first time, streaming service viewing has eclipsed that of cable TV. I also take a look at which services will survive the "streaming wars."
Wow. I wonder if this would be the “Chromebook” moment for the Fediverse (or Mastodon)? Someone can sign up here easily and chat with Mastodon users/follow Pixelfed photos/etc? Without needing to know about federation or instances?
I’ve updated my list to reflect “Black Adam” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” being released. As of this writing, the latter is now the third highest-grossing film on the list., after the two billion-dollar entries (the original “Black Panther” and “Aquaman”).
I take a look at the most popular cartoons in 2022 on the major American streaming services, from Netflix to Paramount+ to HBO Max.
From December 2021, I look at the year’s worst password choices.
What do Peppermint Patty, Frankenstein Jr. and the Impossibles, and Poison Ivy have in common? They all should’ve entered public domain as of today under their original copyright terms, but didn’t thanks to retroactive extensions.
Also, obligatory ”Mickey Mouse enters public domain a year from today” comments.
