"the DIY wisdom tooth extraction people act like you’re asking them to perform"

I can tell you first-hand, having removed three of my wisdom teeth myself without assistance, that it appears the canine teeth with longer roots poking into the sinuses are going to be a lot worse to get out.

Just saying.

Also, as an alternative to, or in addition to, adding your address to contacts, setting up a filter in email going to a specific folder, has prevented any substack posts going to spam for me.

Thank you Sarah for this wonderfully written article. (I expect nothing less from you tho).

As for MrM, Looks like he's desperate for power and control. He's trying so hard to be the *Alpha* of the pack. Time will tell what's gonna happen.

Best regards and looking forward to reading from you.

Good cop, bad cop is the seeming scenario, and thanks so much for this... I'm watching/reading from far outside the twittersphere, where I actually live in 3D without a smartphone. From this vantage point it looks like a crow fight. Lots of squalking, a few jousting dives, then they all fly off together for another round elsewhere.

I have a "saved" list of articles a mile long, but I wanted to read this.

Twitter is not that important to me. I never really had hope that Musk would change anything. He's a business man who saw an opportunity. So I'm not sure why anyone thought he would be altruistic. In fact, that the "left" got their panties so much in a wad about a person who is going to change little (other than more honestly basing the "blue check" on money rather than popularity and "right think," which is more consistent with what America is, rather than what you might want it to be), he's not done much.

Yes, the all-in-one thing bothers me, but I'm the type of person that never uses my Google (or Facebook or Amazon or anything else) account to sign in at other sites. I think my sister is crazy to use her phone for banking. I'm pretty old school and paranoid that way and I've always seen the danger in centralizing all your information. I don't get why anyone would think it was a good idea, even if it feels like a great business model. I'll trade a lot of efficiency to make them work to gather all my info.

But I still enjoyed the article greatly, and I know a lot of people use Twitter to promote their work, so I'm sorry it's not going the way you hoped.

Some of us saw this coming a mile away. But we appreciate you confirming it!

"Trust, but verify" LOL

It's one big club, and you ain't in it.
