I’ve been followed by Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johannsen on Bluesky this week.
I believe, in fact, these accounts may not be authentic.
That was fast: After reading this coverage from Casey Newton, I can’t in good conscience stay on Facebook or any Meta property any longer. I’ll leave my accounts active for now, but I’m not looking at them anymore.
I’ve been fed up with Facebook for a long time, and today’s news does not make me love it more. However, there are people I want to stay in touch with on Facebook. Neither quitting nor staying is satisfactory.
The Heritage Foundation plans to “identify and target” Wikipedia editors whom the groups believes to be anti-Semitic. This is a vigilante campaign disguised as an attempt to protect Jews. This Jew does not need or welcome that kind of protection.
Trump wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico and use the military to claim Greenland from Demark, a NATO ally.

These events further cement my decision to consolidate more of my social media activity on mitchw.blog, with automatic syndication using Micro.blog to Mastodon, BlueSky and Tumblr.

After reading this explanation of Hookmark, I am thinking of giving the app another try. I like the idea of being able to easily access all documents related to whatever document I’m looking at or working on. “Documents,” in this context, refers to any object on my Mac — documents, web pages, emails, etc.
