OK #ACES2024, I’m late but I’m here! If you see me, come say hi!
As of today, you no longer need an invite code to use BlueSky! I’ve been hanging out over there and I enjoy it; it’s a lot like 10-years-ago Twitter. Check it out! bsky.social/about/ techcrunch.com/2024/02/06/blu…
Anyone want Bluesky invite codes? It’s a lot like old Twitter over there.
My landlord, a Somerville native who rents out his old house, just offhandedly provided the most chef’s-kiss example of Boston-area parochialism I have ever encountered: “[A Somerville alderman] grew up here, went to Harvard and then came back.”
Any mutuals want to check out a social media site with buttons on the posts and headlines on the link cards? I have a couple codes.
Do any of my charming and intelligent mutuals still need an invite to the new place?
The best time to be in northern New England is obviously late September/early October, but the second-best time is in August right after a rainstorm.
Hey hive mind, what are your best recs for things to do, see and eat in Montreal and Burlington, Vermont?
Getting kicked out of my family vacation for bellowing, “Do not cite the deep lore to me, witch,” when my 5-year-old niece told me I had to watch the Mario movie to know about the characters, like how Peach comes from the Mushroom Kingdom and Bowser wants to marry her.

New Twitter logo, old Twitter problems.

For about the 200,000th time, I fixed a typo in a source’s name to make it match what’s on their workplace’s website. For the first time, it turned out the reporter was right and the website was wrong. Can I … bill the source? #AmEditing
Even my coffee is making the Monday face.
The prophecy has been fulfilled: The drawer of miscellaneous computer stuff had a cable that I needed and couldn’t find anywhere else in the house.
