Trump’s second term — which apparently started a day early — is going to be a series of mismanaged, real crises and completely dumb, fake issues. Gonna try to ignore both. 🇺🇸

ByteDance was been trying so hard to sell TikTok and they just ran out of time. Thankfully, Trump is going to extend the deadline, giving TikTok more time to find a buyer! Whew. I’m sure TikTok will be sold real soon now. 🤪

I’ve optimized a few things with our Twitter / X import. If you never imported your tweets, now is a great time! Micro.one and Micro.blog copy all your tweets and photos (minus RTs and videos) to a space you can control. Full API access to the data, easy to embed on your blog.

Molly White:

The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech… let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control.

TikTok’s “not available” message is blatantly manipulative… So a fitting end to the app, for now.

Morning haiku

2025-01-18 22:43:42

Last week when ChatGPT added scheduled tasks, I set a task to write a haiku for me each morning based on Hayao Miyazaki movies. It has been a fun experiment. Whenever I get one of the haikus, I smile, which was what I hoped would happen.

Here are the first five:

Through forest winds soar,
A catbus hums in the night,
Magic fills the air.

Beneath soft moonlight,
Spirits dance on quiet hills,
Dreams take gentle flight.

Sky castles arise,
Whispers of the wind bring tales,
Nature’s heart beats strong.

Howl’s voice on the breeze,
A lone castle seeks the stars,
Love breaks every curse.

On calm ocean waves,
A young fish dreams of the shore,
Bound by love and light.

I also like that even for a business-y “scheduled tasks” feature, we can squeeze a little creativity out of it.
