Nobody thinks of social media apps like Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, etc as part of a content management system. But if they are somewhat textcasting oriented, and have feeds that are properly configured, then yes -- you can have people write for publication using such a well-equipped social network. #
Have you noticed that news articles take forever to get to the point. I very often give up after a dozen paragraphs of this and that. Whatever happened to don't bury the lede? #

I asked for an ancient rock band performing on stage in the middle of the Arizona desert, and the audience members are all cacti, and they're partying and grooving on the tunes.#

So if you think the old man is being silly and vain, well, he's being a lot smarter than you are, and btw, paying a huge price. If you live to be 81, I bet the last thing you want to do, after the life he's had, is to be in this position. We should get behind him, and tell him so, let him know we don't want anyone else, and we
