When the man in the shop
asked me
if I was going
to keep wearing my mask
forever
I replied by asking him
if he was going
to keep getting strangely ill
forever
and I could tell immediately
that he did not like my question.

A QR code. And it's big: 5" x 5" (13 cm x 13 cm). And that's all that's in the envelope.

Generic response to Right Wing media, from Jeff Maurer, quoted by Charlie Sykes at The Bulwark:

“Right-wing media:
shit a brick;
had a cow;
passed some large object through some small orifice.”

🧵Pandemic Since Biden

This is what I believe happened since Biden took over.

A few 'moderate' senators like murkowski, collins, manchin, and sinema told the CDC they're done providing funding votes for #COVID in 2021.

This started w/ announcing vaxed do not get infected by Sars2, nor do the vaxed transmit. Once vaxed you're free.

Third-party Twitter clients like Tweetbot and and Twitterrific were critical to the success of Twitter and their users are some of the company's most valuable.

Both deserved better than to have the Twitter API shut off on no notice with no explanation. My thoughts and some history over on @macstories: https://www.macstories.net/stories/twitter-intentionally-ends-third-party-app-developer-access-to-its-apis/
