    on pretty much every other large scale social media platform, people get paid to do moderation.

    These people who are mad, they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free

    The company I worked for before getting downsized at the beginning of COVID was pushing (at the time) working in the office because they'd promised the city they'd have a certain number of workers in the office for tax breaks. That office has since closed; I'm not sure where they were all relocated.

    My current employer has been trying to get us to come into the office at least once a week or so. Yesterday they pushed that a little harder, as long as you lived reasonably close to the office. Since two of my team live halfway across the country (including my boss), I think we'll be safe staying with WFH.

    I want to get a rowing machine. I'm just about to move though, so I'm going to put that off for a little while, until I get a new place sorted out.

    I'm doing that, too! I think I like the concept, but sometimes I want to keep reading. I guess I'll just have to be patient.
