I’ve entertained several times the idea of a private Wordpress instance to archive all the blog things from ever. Wordpress will import a lot, but significant gaps are Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. This is me regretting giving my words to the care of corporations.

My latest thinking on the API blocking on the Billionaire Social Club is that the API’s will be turned on when the developers agree to pay for the privilege. Or pay more. Not sure what it takes to get an API key, to begin with.

Maybe a strategy to kill an albatross of an investment is to make so many offensive decisions that it is litigated out of existence. Genius!

Is anyone else really fatigued with the sensational adjectives in sound bites and headlines? I feel like everything is click-bait or attention-bait. I’m trying really hard to opt out of it but it is feeling more difficult to escape.
