When we stop seeing each other as humans who are loved, we all lose

Good night, and good luck.

Good luck today, #USA — I hope all you 18+ citizens got a chance to vote & will see your strong democracy be as healthy as the world needs it to be 🇺🇸🗳️ #MidtermElections2022 #Midterm2022

Is it wrong for me to hope #SpaceX finds a way to spin-off as a publicly-held and -controlled company sooner rather than later? #rocket #space

Struggling to imagine this final #Toronto concert by #Nirvana happened 29 years ago tonight in a hockey arena that is now a grocery store buff.ly/3zEcWTV

Thank you to everyone at @Twitter who had a hand in building such an incredible service during the past 16 years — thinking of all of you today, and in the days ahead

My obituary of Jack Diamond, architect, urbanist and advocate for better cities: theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

Don’t miss reading @ftrain on creativity & #MachineLearning: “It feels gross that someone could say to a computer, ‘I want a portrait of Alex Jones in the style of Frida Kahlo,’ and the computer would do it without moral judgment” buff.ly/3Wunb7e #dalle2 #stablediffusion

Not just a great headline, but a heartening reminder @Auttomattic still remembers the web of old: “Tumblr Says Clothing Is Optional Again” /ht @the_logic buff.ly/3sVsIWy

Three of my most recommended apps are from relatively small companies, and all sport an icon with a black background and a single white letter, stylistic rendered

Just in case you were feeling optimistic, remember. Everything dies, including information buff.ly/3SNewK3

Seeing new (to me) ads on Twitter promoting accounts I should apparently follow, these kind of posts are appearing every half-dozen posts (even if the account writes in a language I can’t read)

Reading @TheTorontoSun, @TorontoStar or @globeandmail #newspapers signalled who you wanted to be (and maybe we’re) as well as who voted for — it was a badge of pride and a driver of actually revenue for the publications in question as they played off each other for readers

What I find interesting about this stay/go debate (be it Twitter, or before that Facebook) is that few people fold in how political your medium of choice is — countless newspapers thrived on that! theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…

Tip: Using a free instance of the very good app @Tweetbot turns Twitter into a read-first medium, and makes posting (or liking or any interacting…) a lot more intentional buff.ly/2S5Z11J

This is a very balanced and well-considered analysis of Canada’s Online News Act — and no matter where you stand on its value, it’s a worthwhile read if you care about #journalism buff.ly/3zN9A0h

@AmritaGurney The main difference between any instance of the Mastodon servers (and there are hundreds) is the content on it (I think), but you can follow people from many servers

Trying out Mastodon again

Any ways, you can find me there for now under this account name (and I’m mainly using mastodon.social)

Thinking this little plug-in might help make the transition stick this time /ht @sladner crossposter.masto.donte.com.br
