Eight years ago Lance Ulanoff had a problem. William Shatner could not find him on Mastodon.

His distress is understandable, relatable even. Who wouldn’t want to be found by Captain Kirk himself! The way he dealt with that feeling of distress, however, was something different. He came to the conclusion that because Captain Kirk could not find him, Mastodon can’t survive.

You see, Lance Ulanoff, like most journalists writing about technology, understands tech. Like, really understands it. As an award-winning tech journalist and former Editor in Chief at PCMag-dot-com he knows the ins and outs of all corporate tech stacks.

That is the level of journalistic excellence and rate of creative output I know I could never even dream to attain.

It’s not “The Bad Place” of sitcom fame, though it’s easy to imagine some in the current administration taking notes on hot dog torture and butthole spiders.

It’s not the Hellmouth, nor is it one of the dark parallel universes in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as much as some of us want to believe we’ve shifted into an alternate reality.

Hell is as foundational as smallpox blankets and pedophile priests, as petty as a MAGA-festooned pickup that “rolls coal” on a passing Prius.

Sällan eller aldrig har man anledning vara nöjd med ekonomijournalistiken i press, radio och television. Ytterst få ekonomijournalister och börsanalytiker tar sitt jobb på allvar och bedriver ekonomisk journalistik värd namnet. De flesta av oss har därför sedan länge gett upp. Synd bara att allmänheten ska behöva nöja sig med det tyckmyckentrutade nonsens som helt […]
