We are saddened to learn of the passing of Judy Levitt, wife of our friend Walter Koenig.
Judy was a wonderful actress. We studied theatre arts together at UCLA, and she celebrated our 2008 wedding along with Walter, our best man.
Our heartfelt condolences to Judy's family.

My son has been asking a lot of questions this Christmas season, and I'm worried it might be the last year he believes that Bitcoin is real.

Weird fluffy advent, day 24
Christmas Eve. Time to jazz up the fluffy advent with some festive dancing heilan coos.
Here's wishing a fun festive season to my fellow fediversians. x
#FluffyAdvent #silly #festive #Christmas #animation #HighlandCow #Santa #AdventCalendar
@matsimpsk not if he passes away before the ceremony happens.
we'll probably just get another one-off box queue again then.

Journalists don't *need* QTs, which is evident in that the craft existed for fucking centuries before twitter. They've had, what, five years of having this tool, absolutely abused the shit out of it in this time, and now they're crying that they can't do journalism without it? Grow the fuck up, your job is to convey information, figure something out.

Just about the only use case I've ever seen among journalists for QTs is to instigate pile-ons of the great unwashed. It has made the entire profession a joke, a toxic joke. When they started to use social media, at best it fell out as lazy content-scraping articles. At worst, it has been attacking random members of the public for saying "hey, trans people deserve some rights".

Just saw someone saying that the lack of quotes on here means journalists won't adopt the platform, and that is the single best argument against quotes I have seen here.
