The thing that’s amazing about Elon Musk’s Twitter is he’s handled it worse than my wildest expectations.

Like when he announced he was buying it, I thought I was going to have to quit out of some hard-to-convey sense of moral unease, like the way I quit Facebook.

Instead, it’s like he coated himself in SpaceX jet fuel, crashed his Tesla right into Twitter HQ, then stumbled out of the wreckage to light everything he touches on fire.

All while shouting: “The Holocaust never happened!”

If you have an automated system set up onhere to crosspost the text of all of your toots – including boosts of other users – from here to Twitter, turn it off.

Want to export your old threads from Twitter and put them into a blog or Mastodon or something? Here you go! It will go through your Twitter export archive and recreate the threads.

#a11y When I start reading a post / article / talk / library / framework / etc that makes claims about its accessibility, I generally dismiss it.

This post discusses what I look for before trusting it, and offers resources for your own efforts:
