After I left Twitter, I decided to start paying for news.
So I subscribed to The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Guardian. (And I’ve been subscribed to Talking Points Memo for about five years.)
I’m enjoying paying for journalism and being better informed. I read all three sources online or on my iPhone, and the apps work great.
And The Guardian’s subscription department has a sense of humor!
Since registering for PyCon 2017 back during the early bird registration, I’ve changed jobs and stopped using Twitter. Here’s my classy fix to the badge.
Helping my company migrate everything to Python 3. Righteous!
And we’ll update everything else, including Django, when we do it.
If only an updated Python Essential Reference was available… I’d buy it for every developer. I can’t hassle David anymore since I left Twitter. ‘Tis a shame. I could send him email and text messages, but it wouldn’t be the same.
He calls it, “hot take land.” Heh.
I’ve been banned from a subreddit. This is a kind of merit badge. It’s a good thing.
I recently left Twitter. I’d had it up to here with the fake news and trolls. I enjoyed keeping in touch with friends and exchanging brief observations about our lives. But on balance I felt it wasn’t enriching, and instead was a source of negativity and anger.
After having been off Twitter for 10 days I can say this:
I’m happier without it. I’m more focused, less distracted, and can put more energy into more satisfying interactions with the world. Read More
I’ve left Twitter. I can no longer tolerate their arbitrary rules that favor the powerful and the fraudulent.
