“As of today, there are about half a dozen books being sold on Amazon, with my name on them, that I did not write or publish. Some huckster generated them using AI.”

BlueSky: Trans person makes a joke replying to Jake Tapper, immediately illustrated by comic artist, liked by AOC. Everything gets nine likes.

Threads: Ellen DeGeneres hosts a rap battle between Frito-Lay and Cheez-Its riddled with "chedda," avoiding hard-R. The CIA buys all the data.

Threads is looking better and better. What I wanted from social media was:

* self-promotion from celebrities and rich people
* no control over my timeline
* strict prohibition of any sexual content
* nothing from europe
* no alt-text
* data harvesting to empower genocides

Feel this Martha. I loved my community, my curated lists, ability to search for experts in any field, seeing they’re iterative process, questions etc. Been mourning this. Reminding myself of the benefits of change, being forced to stretch, get nimble, be humbled and finding new people like you.
