Just got stopped by charity workers for wildlife.
“Do you have a favourite animal?” they asked me.
I mime cutting and eating steak.
It didn’t lead to me buying their lottery ticket.

Given how planet Earth is going, the HHGTTG story of how it got demolished for an interstellar bypass is starting to make a lot more sense.

It took me a decade of slog in the tech industry to build 8k followers on Twitter. Now at 180k my X follower count is completely static. The audience is the ever-shifting algorithm, not my followers. The social aspect of social media has gone. It is why I cherish email subs most.

Longtime users are frustrated with X because it no longer works the way it used to. Back in the early days of Twitter, your reach was simple and direct. If you had 5,000 or 10,000,20,000 followers, your posts were delivered to them in real time. It was a true chronological feed—your tweets showed up in the order you posted them, and your audience actually saw your content. The “old” Twitter (pre-2016) was built around that real-time experience. Your voice reached the people who chose to follow you, without interference. Today, that’s no longer the case. X relies on an algorithm-driven, engagement-based feed, meaning even your own followers may never see your posts unless the system decides to prioritize them. That shift—from a guaranteed audience to an unpredictable algorithm—is why so many longtime users feel frustrated and disconnected.

You must be Born Again.
You were born once, and you need to be reborn by the Holy Spirit.
You have to be Born TWICE.
But... there is a cost.
Every person Born Once will hate you.

London is "target dense" - where I live it takes a lot of work to find any bright lights.

@martingeddes Did you caption the wrong photo?
Or did my British sense of irony fail me?

Reminds me of the feeling as a child of being inside a cosy warm building in midwinter.
