The web is a medium. Which is made up of a few different genres. Blogging is one of those genres. Social microblogging (Twitter, Mastodon, etc.) is another genre. Podcasting is another genre. I look askance at any digital media which doesn't feel idiomatic web.
If you don’t pay $8/month for Twitter Blue, then the platform will suppress your replies and visibility in search results. Free speech indeed. twitter.com/elonmusk/stat...
Wow what an operation behind enemy lines To sneak onto Russian air base and just blow up two Kamaz-52 Attack Copters!! Way to go #Ukraine

I’m reading a book by a well-respected SF author who, for some reason, has decided that sprinkling details is a substitute for good characterization. One is a Southern woman who talks and acts like a Midwesterner. He sometimes—shudder—tries dialect. Which is very Foghorn. Argh

Any design friends available for a mentoring session? I could use feedback on my portfolio.
Marathoning a teen drama and fangirling over a show and bothering @NetflixNordic to renew YR for S3 is SO MUCH MORE FUN than being an adult or contemplating the state of democracy.
On the internet, gatekeepers, moderation, and how things could be. indieweb.social/@jaredwhite/10…

This is what drives me nuts about so-called "cancel culture". Setting aside actual crimes and subsequent prosecution aside, all these people up in arms about cancel culture seem to do just fine when they launch their alt-media channels.
