I can’t believe *any* country would consider adopting Starlink at this point, especially a democracy, when the CEO has shown an eagerness to interfere with Starlink’s service if it becomes politically interested in a global conflict, or if it thinks there could be lulz and dank memes. https://www.reuters.com/technology/japans-military-considers-adopting-musks-starlink-satellite-service-media-2023-06-25/

Holy crap! SocialBu scheduler now gives you the ability to add alt text to images it posts to Mastodon.

THANK YOU.

That means I can now use this to schedule my posts and @writingtheother posts and drop @buffer like a hot potato!

And for my peeps who care about #accessibility, SocialBu is one of the only schedulers that can send posts to Mastdon AND has alt text.

Uber driver to me: “So, were you born this way?” Me: “By this way I’m assuming you mean fabulous? It’s ok, you can say the word, I won’t be offended!” Driver: “There isn’t like … a surgery they can do to fix you?” Me: “Why would you fix fabulousity? I mean if I could have the ability to fly, then I’d consider it but honestly, why mess with perfection?”

As two billionaire oligarchs fight for control of #Russia and two billionaire oligarchs are getting ready for a cage fight for control of America, I have a modest proposal.

Why not have all four go into the cage together? Winner gets to control the entire planet. Of Mars.

As soon as the winner leaves the cage he’s immediately put on a rocket to his new kingdom.

@bruce_toews If it makes you feel any better, I don't think any of us thought Twitter would implode in the way it has, or as quickly. I was skeptical from the beginning, and I just thought Musk would speedrun the moderation curve but otherwise it would be fine. Not that speedrunning the moderation curve on a site that big is fine, but I wasn't expecting most of the other stuff.

@bruce_toews I think almost all of us have been in the situation where we need to do less shooting off of our mouths. Also, I guess I never got excited because Musk didn't come up with those innovations, the engineers working for him did. He just bought Tesla and Starlink and SpaceX. I mean money is important, and you need it to prototype and build all this innovative stuff, so I don't mean to discount that. But it's not his supposed genius behind it. +
