We are monitoring this morning’s large earthquake near Ferndale in Humboldt County and working closely with locals to assess the situation.
Stay safe - check gas and water lines for damages or leaks, prepare for aftershocks, and remember to drop, cover, and hold on.

My main concern, right now, is portion of this that will fall rather quickly over 6-8 hour period on Wed as another strong storm makes landfall. There will be pretty high potential for flooding, including some serious/life-threatening flooding, across broad swath of NorCal. #CAwx

The storm parade is far from over for California, with 3 more atmospheric rivers set to slam the state over the next 10 days.
Starting to get concerned about more widespread severe flooding potential in NorCal as rainfall amounts of 6-12+ inches would cause serious issues.

Flood Watches are in effect across much of NorCal for this system. At this time, it still appears that any flooding from weekend storm would be mostly minor and of the urban/small stream variety, but will likely be more widespread than with the last storm. #CAwx [4/n]

It’s been, at times, great. I’ve made some genuine friends here, it’s helped me in work. I’ve been on a few dates, had a few crushes, some of which persist. But those ppl I have other channels to, and most of the people I like most here are on Mastodon now.
goodbye and good luck

I will maintain the account. I am even going to keep it on my phone, though I want to delete it - but I feel I need in case of certain emergency scenarios. I also need it for work, but not with the same immediacy so could delete it from my phone if that were all.

#ByeTwitter I think it’s probably time to pull the plug
I had some idea that I would keep this account going to share links to decent news ( mostly) and roast Rocket Boy, but I feel that even that much is feeding him and his regime.
And I keep doing more than that.

A normally irrepressible Musk seemed to be dumbstruck by the booing. He remained speechless, only opening his mouth to cry for help: “Dave, what shall I say?”

How Elon Musk’s lashing out at a critic as a “pedo guy” in 2018 predicted his current willingness to mainstream conspiracy theories as the leader of Twitter today -
“Beyond its stark cruelty, this tweet is incredibly thirsty. As right-wing troll memes go, it is Dad-level, 4chan–Clark Griswold stuff, which is to say it’s desperate engagement bait in the hopes of attracting kudos from… right-wing shock jocks.”

What strikes me most about the people who claim to be the most iconoclastic thinkers, the people who say they question everything and trust no one is that they are so often the ones engaging in group think and regurgitating canned lines.

The "pronouns" meme is forked up and always has been, I think - playing into the dismissal/trivialization/demonization around people giving their pronouns - even when used as here theoretically in a "good" way

The more desperate you are for adulation the less you care about where it comes from. Doesn't matter how rich you are. The horror of realising that epic wealth hasn't diluted the aching need for approval must be huge. There's no substitute for caring for your injured inner child.
Quote Tweet
Already seeing anti-vaxxers, encouraged by that Musk tweet, threatening violence on eminent doctors, telling them they will be given the opportunity to choose between life imprisonment and suicide. This is a form of moral evil.

The experience with this site is deteriorating by the day. I am now on both Mastodon and Post: mastodon.online/@pkrugman and post.news/paulkrugman. Triple-posting will be a pain, but will try for a while at least.

Mastodon is the most talked-about alternative to Twitter. In comparison, “you don’t feel the same level of hostility there,” an editor at an Irish Web site said, and there’s no “swathe of American bullshit to cut through.”

Shared over on Mastodon, a fascinating 1941 essay on what drives people to adopt fascist views.
"It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one’s acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi."
