Been using #Cloudflare for years (near instant DNS changes are part of what made this so easy).
@jimcarroll @fack @leigh @TucsonSentinel @TexasObserver
I hadn't poked at S3 settings for years, so getting the "bucket list" right took a few times. Hosting images on the same box (which I didn't want to do) would be dead simple — perhaps another service w/b less tweaky than Amazon
Twitter's never been a great way to promote work, much less the best. It drives minuscule levels of traffic. There are ~a dozen platforms that send more readers our way.
@fack @jimcarroll @leigh @TucsonSentinel @TexasObserver
It took like a half-hour of work — and only that much b/c I screwed up some prefs and had to edit S3 settings a few times.
@mattsheffield Fedifinder and DeBirdify also have similar functions.

Oh my.
@Mediaite conservative writer Isaac Schorr misread the Twitter account @joinmastodon as "John Mastodon," and said that the open source social media software was named after this imaginary person. https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/hypocrisy-and-fear-all-the-way-down-at-twitter/

1. ABOUT LAST NIGHT
I participated in a Twitter space hosted by @katienotopoulos@twitter.com w/a lot of journalists
When I joined @jason@twitter.com, one of Musk's apparatchiks, was badgering @drewharwell@twitter.com, a suspended reporter, and Jack Sweeney, the guy behind the accounts that tracked jets

How The Washington Post has used flight data: * To track a former president's emergency landing (in 2022): https://wapo.st/3HGp8IA * To map out how military helicopters flew over George Floyd protests (in 2020): https://wapo.st/3V3WRie * To raise questions about Musk's flights (in 2019): https://wapo.st/2RmjE7X * To investigate The Post's owner Jeff Bezos (in 2018): https://wapo.st/3YmLt3M * To document extravagant trips on the taxpayer dime (in 2017): https://wapo.st/3HMh9d0 via @drewharwell

I’m no billionaire, but if I wanted to be able to fly in a private jet without anyone knowing my location, it seems like the easiest thing to do would be to use a charter service instead of a plane that I owned and could be traced to me personally.
Of course, then I wouldn’t be able to take advantage of the very lucrative tax breaks introduced in the 2017 tax bill, which allows people to write off up to 100% of a private plane purchase, including acquisition and maintenance costs. 🤔

Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low
The last Chance. RIP Stuart
All the rain came down
On a cold new town
As he carried you away
From your father's hand
That always seemed like a fist
Reaching out to make you pay
He came like a hero from the factory floor
With the sun & moon as gifts
But the only son you ever saw
Were the two he left you with
Now the skirts hang so heavy around your head
That you never knew you were young
Because you played chance with a lifetime's romance
And the price was far too long

The SEC voted Wednesday to advance the biggest changes to U.S. stock-market rules since the mid-2000s, aiming to give small investors better prices on their trades and reduce some advantages enjoyed by high-speed trading firms https://www.wsj.com/articles/sec-set-to-propose-rules-that-would-squeeze-stock-market-middlemen-11671033619
