I agree. I am increasingly pissed off by the thought police. I have two unpublished posts that I need to get out through the door around this.

I’m not interested in making my opinions “advertiser-friendly,” nor in virtue-signaling to censorious, self-righteous ideologues. It’s popular amongst the simple-minded these days to label people as bigots on the basis of colorful remarks. In so doing, the self-appointed thought police often completely miss the point the writer was trying to make. As a feral Gen Xer, I don’t have the patience to walk on eggshells around thin-skinned people. If I can’t be honest and authentic, then why bother?

🎈173/366 I know Mighty Networks aren’t the only show in town but she is not wrong. I remain amazed how people keep building THEIR communities inside the silos.

I need to understand what this means. It’s from an essay that I tried to read, which lead me to the conclusion that I am definitely not the target reader, which might explain why this seems to be the absolute opposite of my understanding of even ‘why’ an ecosystem.

I will try to 🚧 revisit.

We live in a world where everything is Alternative .. and so nothing is.

Curious final line in Matt Mullenweg’s post re Apple Intelligence.

(Interesting that Apple has now started to adopt the playground terminology.)

I am no expert on these things - but …

1. Didn’t Wordpress come out with ‘Playgrounds’ last year?
2. Haven’t Apple been using ‘Playgrounds’ for around a decade?
