A reasonable mental model for X.com is as Elon Musk’s personal blog, with commenting enabled.
It is no more a “platform” than a casino is a park.
We saw Thunderbolts tonight (opening night) and it thought it was pretty cool. It had a bit more complexity to the story than your average Marvel movie. 
Finished 2.78 mile walk in 52 minutes (18.71 min/mile). Nice walk catching up with friend. 🚶♂️ 
Standard Water is putting drain tile into our basement to better manage ground water. What a crazy process and it shows how much this is going to help. There was a literal stream of water when they jackhammered the route. Wish I could have watched the action!

I had Siri read me a long email while walking and it was like stepping back to olden times. The TTS was lacking, not recognizing acronyms and with poor inflection. And I couldn’t even just ask “read this”, that failed. Instead I had to manually select the text and then press “Speak”. 😬

It was eight years ago today that I started using micro.blog. Seems wild that it has been that long. It has grown into a really great blogging platform. I’m looking forward to the next eight years. Congrats @manton! https://www.thingelstad.com/2017/04/28/ive-been-looking.html https://micro.blog/manton
My favorite Indieweb services — Micro.blog and Buttondown — have had a tough week. They worked through it.
