It seems to me that Elon Musk's leading characteristic is an overwhelming need to insert himself into every narrative. So naturally, as one of the world's richest men, of course he is going to seek to own - and micromanage - the platform on which the world's narratives are spun. It's the ultimate vanity project.

Still, MySpace came and went, and HisSpace will go the same way before long.

Thanks David - that Paxlovid is a horrible miracle. The sour taste - and I reckon it inflamed my arthritic knee to the point I struggled to walk - but I’d take it again as it made my recovery much quicker than my partner who is still suffering 3 weeks on.

Twitter v Mastodon - night v day. I use Twitter a lot to keep in touch with the news - follow RNZ, Guardian etc and seeing what people I follow post from news sites (and their POVs) is a huge benefit of the dystopia. That’s a factor that will keep me there - but is it going to implode??

Mastodon already features some of my favourite #NZTwits and it’s so nice to communicate knowing some asshat isn’t going to interject something vile. Yay for that!
