*The Aristocrats voice* Decentralization!
These are the approved partners you can use to show off your images in the Decentralized™️web3.
By contrast, on your free Glitch In Bio page, you can link to literally any image on the web. glitch.com/glitch-in-bio You can even add your domain name so it’s at an address you own. And there’s no gas fees when you want to fix a typo or upload an image.
If you mention any of the Approved Wallet Partners for showing off your images, you’ll get official-looking bot responses phishing for your credentials. Twitter should probably address that first.

Pretty impressive — the free covid test ordering site is taking orders now, a day *ahead* of the announced launch. (I wonder if this is a test for all users or just some users?) covidtests.gov homepage for covidtests.gov showing that test ordering is li
(I don't expect that this will be open to everyone all at once ahead of scheduled launch time; it's normal for a site with this kind of scale to open up in phases to different users over time.)
I got my confirmation from USPS just seconds after submitting my info. Total time from visiting the site to having an emailed confirmation of the completed order was maybe 90 seconds. In all, an impressively well-executed experience that I hope continues to improve and expand.

I keep thinking a lot about the frustration of the administration taking about how people should Google things like covid tests or access to vaccines. I understand the criticisms that people see it as dismissive or insufficient. But I also think it represents a practical change…
In the past (putting aside the last admin, where they didn’t even try to help), the response to crises was often, “let’s make a government website”. but the sad truth is, nobody goes to a .gov site unless they have to. It’s not meeting the people where they are.
But if accurate, up-to-date info is accessible in Google (or whatever other search engines or apps people use regularly), that has a meaningful, effective impact on increasing access. Admittedly, it still sucks as messaging, but it represents a structural improvement.

Here’s what your timeline was saying 14 years ago. twitter.com/search?q=filte…
(Be kind, we all had bad takes then, learned a lot about how to communicate more thoughtfully, and didn’t expect our words to be taken out of context many years later.)
To be clear: It's the tweets from 14 years ago of the people you're following *now*. Twitter doesn't know who you were following then, if you had an account. Also, content is very different as the limit was 140 characters, and the app had no hashtags or trending topics in it.

I am super excited about what Wordle’s rise says about the open web, and especially for all the fun ways people have plagued with the idea.
I would like to apologize for the cursed imagery of the Wordle Contribution Graph which appears in this article, though. (Not really, someone tell me if you build a working version of this.)
LOL I meant “played with”, but sure, plague. Why not.

So, it’s worth looking at this marketplace for an understanding of the actual dynamics of web3. OpenSea is the dominant marketplace for selling NFTs. And now they’ve raised a ton of money & have a huge valuation.
The folks who are “true believers” in crypto don’t like OpenSea, because it is a centralized gatekeeper for selling NFTs. But the only way such a valuation can be justified is if it remains *exactly* this kind of gatekeeper.
On the other hand, those who value the opportunism of the crypto boom more than some abstract ideology _like_ that there’s a centralized gatekeeper. That way, there’s distribution, and when your apes get stolen because you clicked a link in Discord, you can complain to someone.

I just saw another example on here of someone who had tweet that was poorly phrased/a bad take but not hateful or morally wrong, and they got dogpiled by both decent people who were critical as well as literal, actual unabashed nazis. Hypervisibility is absolutely brutal.
We need a way for people to say “hey, maybe I had a bad take, but can you pause the pile-on for a minute because there are genuinely hateful/dangerous attacks happening due to this amplification”. People don’t realize how often this tactic is used by hate groups to target people.
Nothing is more isolating or emotionally devastating for people than to be under attack simultaneously by both those who are decent but angry (upsetting because you messed up) *and* by those who are hateful (upsetting because they’re dangerous and unaccountable). It’s relentless.
