My own feeling on the Zuckerberg Meta/FB/Insta, etc. announcement is not only is he aligning with the incoming political environment, but that growth is slowing for him (remember *ALL* of his properties are options in their respective markets), so he has to push for deeper engagement at this point.

@kingrat I tried that and it didn’t seem to work.

Huh, you can’t soft block people on there can you?

@kingrat

I do goal setting a little more loosely, I guess. I have a running list of things I want to do, to accomplish, places to visit, bands to see, etc.

The running list was a concept introduced by a speaker at a conference I once attended (long story).

I didn't understand the value until I bought tickets by myself to see the Beastie Boys on my birthday. I even dragged along an ex-bf to the concert. If I hadn't done that, I would have never seen them since it was their last tour.

@kingrat I believe it did break recently.

Oh whoa, Santa Cruz pier just broke in half #SFBA https://x.com/mikefthomp/status/1871302294534520861

@ai6yr Oh Ben you have no idea of the commotion in NJ right now.

@ai6yr @CStamp No, the Pentagon said earlier today the threat wasn't Iranian.

@ai6yr @CStamp

My best guess at this point is it's some sort of red team - blue team exercise.

But the hysteria is incredibly heightened. Between keeping state and local law enforcement in the dark and the non-answers from agencies who should know, I'm concerned someone will try to shoot one of these things down.

@kingrat I can’t wait to never hear about that trial again.

@Gargron If you ever want to hear a good story about social media, there’s a surprising amount of Xooglers/Googlers still very salty about the failure of Google+.

@GossiTheDog Yeah, apparently all of Wawa’s (East Coast US-based convenience store) PoS systems are down right now.

Current view: waiting for an Uber in cold SF

@kingrat Kamala and Tim have been texting me non-stop since the VP announcement.

@kingrat So it’s only Zipcar then?

@kingrat I work a few blocks away south of there, and while there's a homeless shelter on 5th & Bryant, it seems like it's underutilized/understaffed.

So, I guess this makes more sense after today’s latest headline. 👇
