Congratulations! That’s fantastic.

Yay, go you!
This is amazingly cool. Very much looking forward to experimenting! https://twitter.com/ManifoldScholar/status/849335990644862979
Over the last few days, http://plannedobsolescence.net and http://anxietyofobsolescence.com migrated to @ReclaimHosting, and I couldn’t be happier.
Or, tb a bit more h about it: @ReclaimHosting migrated the sites \(and their subsites\) for me. And everything is now WAY faster than before.
And I am *super* happy to support this project, which helps students and educators maintain domains of their own. https://reclaimhosting.com/

Oooh, congrats! This is exciting!

It is worth a conversation with them to find out!

Woo hoo! Congratulations!!!
This. We credit labor we consider professional — and we need to be way more conscious of that. https://twitter.com/martin_eve/status/848848555485876225

Aw, thank you for saying so!

Truly. United is the worst, except for all the rest of them. https://twitter.com/jwolman/status/851454500560789504
What happened is appalling, but boycotting the airline won’t help. They didn’t inflict the violence. Airport police did.
Replying to @kfitz
Like so much else, this is about police violence. It could have happened on any airline.
Replying to @kfitz
Whether the airline had a right to ask that the passenger be removed from the plane — is a question. But airport police are responsible.
Replying to @ekansa and @davidgraeber
Ooh, excellent. Thanks for the link!
Replying to @2xlp
I am aware of that. And I am disturbed. But pinning this on one airline ignores that it’s a more systemic problem.
For this appalling response, however, the airline is fully responsible. https://twitter.com/united/status/851471781827420160

And they wonder why I wanted to migrate to @ReclaimHosting. \(The solution the host I am leaving proposes is — surprise — a pricey upgrade\!\)
Just scrolled through hours of Twitter backlog \(I’ve been in meetings since noon\) and can I just say O. M. F. G?
It’s a glorious ode in and of itself, and you are probably in great need of a palate cleanser for your brain right about now. https://twitter.com/hels/status/851902124715905024
Replying to @jwolman and @hels
WORTH IT.
Replying to @CJ_Daugherty
If the dumpster turned out to be on top of a buried gas tank, and next to a store of explosives, yes!
Replying to @veek
Just flabbergasting.
A new contender for PR Week’s Communicator of the Year. https://twitter.com/meakoopa/status/851917163275440128
The press has bizarrely mischaracterized by statements by airing me saying them myself.
Ugh, *my. My thumbs are as flabbergasted as I am.
I hope this is the last thing I’ll have to say on the subject: Sean Spicer should seriously reconsider his policy of saying words in public.

It started with the merger. Continental was awesome & had a positive employee culture. United… was different. And that caught.
Replying to @nancybaym
Wait, though, I just contradicted myself. It didn’t start with the merger, except for us Continentals. United’s been what it is.

In Stockholm, on my way to Mötesplats Open Access 2017: http://www.kb.se/openaccess/Konferenser-och-seminarier/Motesplats-Open-Access/2017/
I should probably feel bad that my first dinner in Sweden was a burger in the hotel bar. But surprise, the burger turned out to be lamb and
Replying to @kfitz
was probably the best lamb burger I’ve ever had. So, win.
Replying to @kfitz
\(Also, the hotel bar is great and is also in my hotel, so I can let the jet lag overtake me whenever\.\)
Replying to @CJ_Daugherty
Ha! I am sure there will be herring to follow.

Replying to @plragde
Less than 20, if I’m doing the math right. Which is admittedly a real question.
Replying to @CJ_Daugherty
Thanks! I don’t think I can top Lyon for lovely, but I’ll work on it.
Replying to @plragde
Were you in Stockholm? I’m in Karlstad, which may be a little more manageable.
Replying to @jackjewers
Uh, I think “tête du vache” would likely have had me looking for a veggie burger, too. Glad it turned out so well!
Replying to @jackjewers
But then again, given the Macron graffiti you ran into, “tête de vache” could well be cash burger! So maybe a missed opportunity.
Replying to @plragde
Hmmm. I went to a conference in Göteborg a few years back, and I do recall things being on the pricier end. We’ll see how my math here did!
Replying to @jackjewers
Thank you for the kind response. My jet lag-addled brain kinda butchered the joke, but you got what I was going for.
Replying to @jackjewers
Oh dear. The last time I was here I was way north and it was December, so there’s a different sun-related experience this time.
