I'm still pretty impressed at how quick this new #MacMini is. Granted, I was coming from a VERY OLD mini before, and where my main computer was a M1 iPad. But still. I'm really happy so far.

This little bastard is quick. I haven't had a new #Mac desktop in a while, so it's really fun setting this up.

The rage I feel when any GOP person says something along the lines of "we have to fix the divide in this country."

You motherfucker, it's YOU. YOU ARE AT FAULT.

The social media shift to “block anyone who sucks” that has come up here and on Bluesky is great. Ain’t nobody got time for toxic people.

@Morning1 Part of it, for me, is that there are no surprises now. Everyone knows he's a sack of shit. Lots of people in this country enjoy a giant, steaming pile of shit, apparently.

But it's a known quantity sack of shit. They have told us all the terrible things they want to do. There will be surprises, I'm sure, but everything is largely known about how bad it'll be.

And because of that, in a weird way, it's less shocking.

@miffyhelen I have been watching the series on AppleTV, and it's excellent. I should pick up the book sometime.

I guess one good thing is that not having been on #twitter for a couple years I don't have to see all the shit going on over there today.

It's been nice to see viewpoints from lots of people around the world here, though. And since I certainly speak for everyone in the US: I'm sorry. We are sorry. We tried.

Focusing on the good things in my life for a moment:

- I have a new computer showing up Friday
- And some new Atmos speakers on their way
- My TV that had issues the other day is getting fixed because I was finally able to convince Samsung it was still under warranty by virtue of knowing how to count days in a year.

There is plenty of good advice going around about the big things so here is my small piece: If you’re going to be on social media in the next weeks and months and years, block and mute freely rather than getting into spats and squabbles. Preserve your energy for the work. Keep your powder dry.

@AlanBell I got to visit there earlier this year and really enjoyed it. I'm sure it has its own problems, but I felt like the people I met were sane at least. Hard to say that about a lot of people in my country today.

I’m posting this here simply because I can’t post on #Bluesky right now. The server won’t load posts there.

My hot take assumption is another swath of people are trying to move away from Twitter to new places today since that dumbshit elon may end up with more power.
