Musk's craven, contemptuous deletion of API support for third-party clients makes Twitter unusable for me. This account is now effectively dormant. You can find me on Mastodon at @daviddlevine@wandering.shop.
Hey #WisCon! Don't miss the #WorkshopsOpenMic at 4:00 today in the Private Dining Room (it's next to Starbucks but you have to go through Circ to get there)! We'll be presenting scenes from #TheatreCamp!
Twitter Has Completed Its Transformation to an Information Warfare Platform. I strongly encourage you to stop using it today. (I maintain my Twitter account mainly to hang onto my identity there.)

RT @[email protected]: To those that say only the privileged can afford to leave Twitter, I argue that it is far more privileged to ask your audience to join you on an immensely hostile and hate-filled platform. This is not ok. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/…

*Red Team Blues* is my next novel, a #PostCyberpunk anti-finance finance #thriller; it's a major title for my publishers @TorBooks and @HoZ_Books, and it's swept the trade press with starred reviews all 'round. Despite all that, #Audible will not sell the #audiobook. 1/

I just purchased a $115 medical device from an online seller rather than my local @Walgreens. I will continue to #BoycottWalgreens until the corporation completely and clearly commits to providing all legal medications. The March 6 statement on its website is not sufficient.
I'm almost completely detached from Twitter now. I'm primarily on Mastodon these days, and I love it. It feels a lot like Twitter did about 5-10 years ago. If you'd like an invite to a very nice instance and help migrating to Mastodon, just contact me.

ALT Text Shot: If you’re a subscriber to either Tweetbot or Twitterrific, you can help them out with three simple steps: Reinstall the app if you’ve already deleted it; otherwise, make sure you’re running the latest version. Tap the “I Don’t Need a Refund” button. Feel good and go buy yourself a treat, knowing you helped the good folks at a small company whose work you’ve appreciated (and will continue to).
If your two-factor authentication for Twitter is dead because they killed SMS, here’s an easy how-to about setting up iOS/macOS’s truly excellent built-in two-factor system. It’s super convenient and, best of all, even more secure than SMS. sixcolors.com/post/2023/02/s…

Say Goodbye to Tweetbot.
We've been proud to serve you over the last 12+ years, but due to circumstances beyond our control, we have to shut down Tweetbot.
Thank you so much for your patience and outpouring of support over these tough times at Tapbots.
