I have to get up early so I'm cutting out of here now. Good night, Twitter. Spice will keep you company until I return.
Spice, looking up at you, only a little disdainfully

Awww, The Internet remembered Krissy and I have an anniversary coming up! Three actually: first date, proposal and wedding, all on adjoining calendar days. Thanks, The Internet!

As noted by others, the management of Reddit and Twitter both exist under the delusion that their users need them more than they need their users, who create the content and community the sites need for their business model. I'm all right with people reminding them of this fact.

Yeah, looks like the servers are joining in. Any thoughts on the protests? I've been a mod on a fairly big subreddit for ten years or so. It wasn't an easy decision to go dark, but we agreed it was the right thing to do.

I appreciate the headline writer putting "law and order" in ironic quotes here, as the last GOP president whose administration wasn't heavily pocked with criminal activity was Gerald Ford, and even he let Nixon walk for his crimes

If there are people whose tweets you want to be sure you see, add them to a list and use that instead of the "For You" tweet feed, the algorithm for which is... questionable.

First tweet I’ve seen from you in ages- you used to be in feed daily. Twitter has definitely changed. And nice pic.

"Could you send us an author photo that *doesn't* look like you're auditioning to play an ax murderer? Just once? Please?"
I look totally normal in this photo, and this is why you should trust me when I invite you to check out my unlit, oddly-smelling basement.
