I’m moving from Mastodon to Micro.blog
Another way to say that is I shut down my Mastodon account, which was @mitch@mastodon.social, and transferred everyone that followed that account to mitchw.blog, which is hosted on Micro.blog, and where I’ve been posting updates for about two years.
My reason for making the change is to reduce the number of services I’m on, simplify posting, and also because I just plain like Micro.blog (though it can also sometimes be frustrating).
If you’re reading this from Mastodon or another fediverse service, hopefully you didn’t notice the change until I told you I’d done it. The fediverse makes that kind of thing easy (when it works right).
The WordPress-WP Engine drama doesn’t look great for Matt Mullenweg and, by extension, the companies he controls, including WordPress.org, Wordpress.com and Automattic. It appears that Matt is extorting WP Engine and WP Engine did nothing to violate WordPress license — not even close.

Minnie strained her left foreleg doing zoomies this morning so I think I’m going to be walking solo for the next ten days or so.
Why Everything Is Suddenly Spiraling for Israel.
Israel is speeding down the road to self-destruction, says Thomas Friedman
… anyone with two eyes in his head knows that the only way to defeat Hamas is a strategy of “clear, hold and build”: Destroy the enemy, hold the territory and then build an alternative local, legitimate Palestinian governing authority. Israel’s strategy in Gaza, he said, has been: “Clear, leave, come back, clear again the same place, leave again, come back and clear again.”
