the perennial "is this a good replacement for twitter / can it become as big as twitter" discussion is so confused. hominids became bipedal about 7 million years ago. for most of the time since we did not have microblogging. it's not a necessity it's a habit, if it all goes away that's fine

Wikipedia fact of the day: Star Trek The Animated Series was originally pitched as the TOS crew training the teenage crew of a new starship called Excalibur.

"The new teenage crew included a Vulcan named Steve, an African-American boy named Bob, and a Chinese boy named Stick."
