So now, even if I click a link, I will never go to x.com

Here's the next thing to do. I'm no longer happy to click on a link and see that I've just contributed to x.com's fortune. So I added these to my hosts file (actually PiHole for me). You may want to do the same:

I finally figured out that the ONLY reason I've kept my twatter accounts is that I didn't want anyone else to use my brand/product names.

A ridiculous reason to keep them. The time to move on was 2 years ago, but now it's imperative.

So there are 10 fewer X accounts today.

My post is not meant as a boast or virtue-signal, but as encouragement to (hopefully) wake you up and help you leave that platform, too, and to stop supporting the man-babies that are far too powerful and rich.

#20Artists20days. Your favorites, those that move you etc. Any reason. Post with art example if you like.

Day 2: I love the whimsical art of Theodor Geisel. I have several of his pieces, including this one ("Plethora of Cats") which is hanging in my dining room (this picture is not my dining room, however).

(thought it was Michael Franks at first!)

Who's into yacht stuff?

Brand-spanking new, here's "Everymornin'" with Coleman Mellet, Chuck Mangione (!), Larry Goldings, Steve Gadd (!), Barry Miles and Will Lee

Interesting that I'm seeing some (but not all) youtube posts with no preview, and the message "Your browser is deprecated. Please upgrade."

Is that based on the browser of the person who creates the post? Or perhaps of the code (user agent) that reaches out to grab a preview?

Perhaps it's only on those posts that reference "music.youtube.com"

I have not felt like using the word "afoot" in several years.

But, the game is afoot.

Day 1: OK, bear with me here. If you're not someone who can separate art from the artist, you probably should not read further.

I'm not praising the man or his "beliefs", but the art of Stanislaw Szukalksi (sculpture, painting, drawing) is quite astonishing to me. It's new every time I look at it. Somewhere between H. R. Giger and the perfect yet alien asymmetries of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Keep your heads up, friends.

Experiencing this today, as of about 45 minutes ago.
