I feel so emotional about this as the background music for this opening montage.
This is the…unedited music from Tenchi that he’s skating to for the 6 minute warmup?
Katya has the zoomies bad right now
Pooh face touch. My heart feels so warm.
Back cross rolls. I owe him so much money for those.
BACK WHEN HE COULD STILL DO A DOUBLE AXEL YESSSS
Katya: why are we awake Cat looking reactant next to me.
Oh man the background music to these montages is just making me so emotional.
He is putting so much of himself into this. Wow. Wow.

Okay, I’m going to start by saying @rahaeli is a mutual who I deeply respect, but NONETHELESS lemme tell you why I, a former law professor who taught contracts, do not give a fuck about literally any of this.

this is not legal advice
First: I give zero weight to “this part of the contract could potentially be interpreted to mean <bad thing>.” If we ever got to a court-type situation, ambiguous sections of the contract are going to be construed against the drafter, which is them. So… I don’t really care.
Second, and more saliently: a question I always ask myself when I’m considering terms of service is what my actual exposure is in the situation.

Thus, for instance, a clause in my bank’s contract that lets them fuck with my money? I’ll take that very seriously.

Okay, I’m exploring mastodon, but… I gotta say, there are so many aspects of this that are not intuitive.
For instance: you have to join a server. Okay, fine. I’m looking at joining a server—someone says “it doesn’t matter, just pick one to start and go there.” So I do.
Then someone else says “oh wait, join this other server.” Cool. How do I switch to another server? I google directions.

Here’s what I get. How to migrate from one Mas...

New tweet for pinning: here are ways you can keep in touch with me

1) The contact page on my website has a list of most of the places where I am active, and describes what my activity actually looks like: courtneymilan.com/contact-me/

The thing that I’m not sure Mr. Bird App understands is this: currently, one of Twitter’s biggest issues and also a significant source of revenue is that it promotes tweets to users with the goal of increasing engagement.
Show someone a tweet that is the Worst Take in the World?

Now they’re on this app for 20 more minutes angrily describing it.
Show someone a take that they agree with and makes them want to chime in with their two cents? Ditto.

Elon gave away massive equity stakes in Twitter to be able to afford it and has fiduciary duties to a lot of big players to run it as profitably as possible.
He is going to be torn between poor-understanding-of-first-amendment libertarians on the one hand (including himself) and massive business on the other.
If this weren’t tearing apart real community for very marginalized people, watching these two wildly impossible and incompatible goals rip him in two would be fucking hilarious.

I think we need some pretty radical amendments to the Constitution, and I think we need to pull a constitutional convention and not use the ratification method for a new governing document specified in the old one.
That being said: this country spent a good bit of time in the “republic, if you can keep it” phase, and I wish people realized that about 10-15% of the country is actively in the “nah, we don’t want that” mindset.
Another 20%-25% thinks that the first people are more useful to their views.

We are in an era of increasing terrorist violence from people who are being treated as mainstream.
