Only Elon could so swiftly and unequivocally destroy the value of twitter that zuck would feel comfortable saying the word fediverse in the onboarding flow of his competitor

New study of e-bike rebates finds that the average recipient reduced their CO₂ emissions by 12-44 kg/month. That's roughly equivalent to 30-110 miles/month of driving.

Not too shabby!

My dog has diabetes, which I didn't even know was a thing. He's got a glucose monitor on him now. Poor fellow. The vet bills are quickly making me a poor fellow as well.

I have chatted with Jeffrey Dahmer a handful of times about recipes
i thought Reddit CEO Steve Huffman came off bad in his interview with The Verge

this new one with NBC News is disqualifying

Reddit's unpopular changes were inspired by Elon Musk's layoffs & cost-cutting (like not paying bills) at Twitter.

insane.

A very good thread about the right's fever dream of America on the brink of destruction, a destruction only they, and Trump, can prevent—and in which anyone who would challenge their leader is an enemy of the people.
Republicans are mostly closing ranks behind Trump. Again. Are they choosing “partisanship over country”? This framing actually underestimates how deep the rift is that defines the political conflict: Rightwingers have decided that they *are* the country, everyone else is an enemy. 1/

once the normies show up i would love a feed that completely hid anything even slightly related to the top 1% of skeeters. with a big knob you could turn up to increase that percentage, even
One of the biggest mistakes we ever made at Twitter, imo, was failing to quantify producer-value (i.e. how do our changes impact the Tweeter, rather than the viewer). This led to the top 1% of Tweeters receiving over 90% (I think 96%?) of Tweet views/impressions. Hope bksy can avoid this mistake.
