Twitter no longer allows you to post links to Mastodon profiles 🤨

And the link to my Mastodon profile that I already had in my Twitter bio now comes with a 'this link may be unsafe' warning when youv click it. 😔

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's Drew Harwell.

Rupar tells me he has 'no idea' why it happened.

Twitter has shut down the official Mastodon account, which had about 175,000 followers:

twitter.com/JoinMastodon

Its bio used to say: 'At Mastodon, we present a vision of social media that cannot be bought and owned by any billionaire.'

Re-upping this tool because I just used it again and found a bunch more Twitter friends who have recently joined Mastodon.

Also: Is anyone aware of a similar tool to quickly find Twitter friends on Post?

Hey Netflix, do you want to credit my writing (that you’ve copied word for word) in this description of your new documentary?

Twitter was better when it was about something other than Twitter

Statement on the passing of the Hon. Jim Carr.

Alberta public health is now run by an interim official who still holds an unrelated AHS executive post, and two deputies who've already submitted papers to resign.
And premier who questions mainstream public health advice altogether.
cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Since Danielle Smith became Alberta's premier two months ago today, Albertans have not seen or heard once from a top public health doctor, Hinshaw or her interim successor Dr. Mark Joffe.
A Nov 16 news release aside, Alberta has had no public-facing public health function.
Wild.

In thick of a brutal virus season & pediatric health crisis, not only has Alberta's main public health Twitter been silent for 2months (since day before Danielle Smith won UCP leadership) -it still bears name of Dr Hinshaw, removed 4 weeks ago.

A while ago I was asked if I could make a web app that estimates how much federal carbon tax you pay vs. your rebate. Finally had a chance to do that!

Every “chronically online” conversation is the same:

'People in their regular lives don’t react this way to things. It’s only on platforms where controversy and drama are prioritized for driving engagement where we’re rewarded for despising each other.'
