I’m only on Twitter sporadically these days. Find me doing tweet-like things on these platforms instead: BlueSky bsky.app/profile/werty.… Mastodon @werty" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.social/@werty Threads @netwert" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.net/@netwert And then there’s my blog, now in its 25th year: netwert.com/ideapad

@JamesSmyth621 follow me back for a DM!

@werty I signed up for threads but I don’t think I’ve opened it since haha…I’d like to get on bluesky but haven’t gotten in yet

@JamesSmyth621 are you on Threads or Bluesky yet? Would love to follow you there

@nandodifino are you on Threads or Bluesky yet? Would love to follow you there

@Mattyfatpants There was a man walking around on the tracks between Exchange Place and WTC. I was on the train in the tunnel. He scaled down the side of our car like Spider-Man. Spent 90 minutes with emergency lighting and no A/C

Really weird. No Path trains running due to an incident at World Trade Center. I'm stuck here. And, comically, I went to the grocery store and bought ground turkey and ice cream. Classic.

My goal for the day is to reach the same level of optimism as AAA’s drive time estimator

@matt_levine please tell me you'll find a way to cover this businesswire.com/news/home/2023…

My BlueSky feed has pep. It’s upbeat, sassy and good-natured. Mastodon is earnest; the discourse there is often Very Serious. Meanwhile what’s left here is almost entirely journalists and breaking news—useful but not fun. I think bsky is where the fun has gone, and where I’ll be

Digging that @James_Holzhauer is writing his name in the @IronMaiden font on #JeopardyMasters.

The single biggest problem with the Yankees is that Cashman repeatedly acquires fragile players thinking they're value plays, and then the Yanks' strength and conditioning team can't keep them on the field mlbtraderumors.com/2023/05/yankee…

Business fact of the day: in a typical cable bill, fully $9.42 goes to ESPN, vs. an average of 49¢ for other networks wsj.com/articles/espn-…

"He’s the ideal [interview] subject. He’s locked up in his house an hour from my house with an ankle monitor. He can’t go anywhere. ... So, as long as he welcomes me into the house, it’s fine." amazing nytimes.com/2023/05/16/boo…

In my neighborhood, many buildings cover their awnings when scaffolding goes up, and the temporary address numbers that appear are much more interesting than the ones they cover up

This is an account where I posted 10 years of innocent comments by a growing child. It doesn’t follow anyone and has two dozen followers, mostly old friends. Twitter thought that conversation was the best representation of what I could enjoy upon logging in

“Log into Twitter monthly or you may lose your account,” says the warning. So I logged into @says_eli to keep it current, and this is how Twitter welcomed me back:

I leave talk radio on in the background while I'm working (ersatz office white noise!), and there's a commercial running that includes a background sound effect of a phone ringing, and I perk up and listen for a second ring every. single. time

I do wonder if the experience of "Boba Fett"—my wife and kids found the violence egregious, and we didn't finish it—permanently damaged our enjoyment of the "Star Wars" offshoot franchise. We haven't watched "Andor," either.

My household watched the first episode of this season of "The Mandalorian," then promptly forgot about it. Even the kids. I've mentioned it twice since then and everyone says, "Oh, yeah," and then continues to not watch it. Are we the only ones who moved on?
