One of the reasons this blog is comparatively nearly devoid of content for 2021-2024 was caused by devoting a lot of my attention to Twitter. I find X.com a far inferior platform, but for those curious about past tweets.
Active on BlueSky as well, but from a 'writing is thinking' perspective, I've found that the 300-character batches is a non-always-helpful limitation.
Chunking utterances into 300 characters supports brevity and clarity in communication, as each utterance must stand on its own, but impairs composition when trying to articulate thoughts and aggregate related ideas.
Accordingly, most threads run stream-of-consciousness, and folks who can be articulate in that matter are rare, a lot of what is posted is dreck*. So useful as a 'public conversation', with people responding to one another, but less useful in generating comprehensive things for people to respond to.
(Being articulate on the fly is a pretty good indicator of expertise. Means someone has articulated something before and done so enough times that articulating that understanding no longer imposes a substantial cognitive burden).
Hence, more content in 2025/2026.
