Evie Day 158
Good morning, and welcome to the beginning of a new work week. Today is 21 August 2023.
I’ll be back in my virtual classroom in a couple of hours. I’ll be delivering a security course with another trainer, and I think we have a third tagging along for the experience.
Odin, my big boy at 28 pounds, just noticed the Chewy box sitting by the window in the dining room. I don’t know if it’s the box or something that he smells inside the box, but he was pawing at that cardboard unit with enthusiasm and zeal.
As many of you all know, I share the link to my blog on several forums. I have always shared my updates on Twitter, and lately, I’ve added Facebook and Mastodon to the mix. I am getting more and more discouraged with Twitter (now X). Over the weekend, Musk announced that he was going to get rid of the ability to block predatory accounts. The easiest way to evade predatory accounts is to not be on the same forum. I’ve been disturbed by some of the posts that have shown up on my feed promoting some pretty evil points of view. Add in the change to Tweetdeck, the only tool that makes Twitter worthwhile for me, and it looks like this week might be my last on Twitter. I won’t pay for something I’ve been using for free for the last ten years. I’ll continue to post on this site, but be aware that my participation on Twitter is likely to get curtailed real soon. I won’t say “I’ll never be back”, but the changes Musk has made to the platform are just not good business decisions.
Time for me to get the coffee brewing and get going with my day.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
