The Occupational Licensing Elves on the Shelf Occupational licensing board shakedowns should not be a holiday tradition.

Want to read about my dislike of the Elf on the Shelf, my wariness about the Kool-Aid Man, and why occupational licensing board shakedowns are lame - all in the same epic blogpost? Of course you do!

My son admitted that he had created a Shortcuts routine to get around the Screen Time limits for some apps. An obvious bug, sure, but I had to grudgingly admit that I was proud of him for innovating.

Truly excellent. Yet, when I saw this post, I got instantly scared that he had suddenly passed away.

Being born in the late 70s/early 80s also really helps (based on these specific examples) . . .

Phillies 13, Twins 2: They blew up the pitchin man in Philly last night A complete meltdown by Dallas Keuchel and the Twins’ bullpen results in a laugher.

A day late to this, but this might be one of the best headlines in history. https://www.twinkietown.com/2023/8/11/23829254/mlb-philadelphia-phillies-13-minnesota-twins-2-they-blew-up-the-pitchin-man-in-philly-last-night

Just got here and learned that everyone seemed to settle on the term β€œskeet” to refer to a Bluesky post. I’m all for naturally-evolved standards but this seems less than ideal.

Just got onto Bluesky and only been here a few hours but I needed to ask . . . is β€œskeeted” really the term that everyone has settled on for posting here?
