I am deleting all Meta based apps in support of #facebookisdone. I’ll also be deleting Twitter/X seeing as Elon is just as big of a monster as the rest of them.
I encourage everyone else to do the same. WE WIN AS ONE.
One good outcome of my return to posting via blogging is that I’m going to have to engage with the news through the subscriptions I have now; and should probably get some reading done - first up will hopefully be Black Against Empire: The History of the Black Panther Party by. Joshua Bloom and Waldo Martin, Jr., followed by Revolution and Counterrevolution: China’s Continuing Class Struggle Since Liberation by. Pao-Yu Ching and then a full read of Scenes of Subjection by. Saidiya Hartman.
That and my daily NYT, ProPublica, and Columbus Dispatch reading.
Mr. Musk sent emails on Friday asking to learn about Twitter’s underlying technology as key infrastructure teams have been decimated.
Elon Musk sent a flurry of emails to Twitter employees on Friday morning with a plea.
“Anyone who actually writes software, please report to the 10th floor at 2 p.m. today,” he wrote in a two-paragraph message, which was viewed by The New York Times. “Thanks, Elon.”
About 30 minutes later, Mr. Musk sent another email saying he wanted to learn about Twitter’s “tech stack,” a term used to describe a company’s software and related systems. Then in another email, he asked some people to fly to Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco to meet in person.
