2022
Reading everyone’s “admiration” posts made me realise that, at this point of my life, I rarely admire people, but I often admire actions or decisions.
That’s not to do with growing cynicism, but more a happy acceptance that people are messy and complicated.
It’s a rough morning, watching friends and former students getting fired from Twitter.
I’m glad I’ve got this place to spend time in instead. Thank you, lovely micro.blog folks.
Well, I suppose the good thing about the reports that Revue (owned by Twitter) will be gone by the end of the year, dead by order of Musk, is that I now have licence to officially abandon my neglected newsletter there…
Working late at the office, adding a feast of links to Moodle, for the journalism students to ”enjoy”…
Well, it might have been chucking it down all day, and the wind has thrown things around the garden, but given how dry the summer was, I figure the plants could really do with it.
Enjoying Halloween on a warm but wet night.
A modest haul of sweets for the girls, but good fun in good company.

So, it looks like the deal is done, and Elon Musk has acquired Twitter.
It’s certainly the end of the beginning: the legal drama will now be replaced by management drama, and this is arguably the start of Twitter’s second act. Interesting times, indeed.
I think this is spot on. British politics — or, at least, the Tory party version of it — is now completely absurd. They are making us a global-level laughing stock.
I asked Siri to “play something I’ll like”, and it’s been back to back 80s and 90s music since. I now feel:
- seen
- old.
