Well, that was fast. TikTok is back, and the message welcoming back Americans thanked Trump. I’m pleased to see a number of creators who are glad it’s back, but feel like it’s been tainted. At moments like this, where you have Zuckerberg sounding like every toxic podcast bro, Elon vying to be treated like he’s…
For some time, Sunday Mornings meant that I would get up to feed Ash (he does not understand the concept of sleeping in – he is a cat who wants his breakfast) and scroll on TikTok until everyone else woke up. This morning, it meant logging in to a ton of meta push notifications, and…
The Lost City was another movie that we’d meant to watch awhile ago. We decided to watch it while celebrating our anniversary. This ended up being the perfect choice, as it’s a story that’s filled with romance. Not always in the way you might expect. Think of it as if Indiana Jones was written to…
This had been a movie on my to see list, and we’d planned on seeing it in theaters, but life got in the way. I am Dungeons & Dragons adjacent. I’m someone who plays a multitude of tabletop games, but not D&D regularly. Directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, and written by them…
I made a promise at the start of the strikes not to give any struck companies promotion for free. And so much has happened, but I’ve been content to write drafts and save them. Something that’s happened online this week requires a comment (without talking about the movie itself). The silence from a lot of…
I’ve previously written two versions of this post, talking about Twitter’s downfall and my thoughts on successors. So I thought I’d go through the good, the bad, and the buggy. In the last week alone, Elon rate limited Twitter, made it so that you had to login to see tweets – which resulted in Google…
In the sports world, The Athletic just went through another round of layoffs. With their layoffs focusing on “less popular local coverage” – with their MLB, NBA and NHL coverage hit the hardest. I think a lot of people are still waiting to see who is gone, but that seems to be the where the…
I am internet old. I was 14 when we got AOL in our house, and yes, I absolutely did tie up our phone line constantly. I’ve come here today, my lovelies, to talk about something that people seem to not realize… Which is all about text, tone and mind reading. And that’s this- you can’t…
It was only a month and a half ago I blogged about what was going on with Twitter and what was next on the horizon with social media. While I think we all predicted that Twitter was on the decline, I don’t think that anyone would have foreseen just how quickly things would devolve –…
With Elon in charge of Twitter, a lot of changes have happened in the last week. He decided that anyone who wanted to be verified could pay $8 a month, defeating the purpose of verification. Elon fired employees who are responsible for things like accessiblity. He fired the ethics team, who had focused on the…
