Bingo. Community on Tumblr was legit. All the others are fairly solo experiences, even if there are comments.

I think Tumblr might be the only exception I'd make. 😆

"I just posted that to my Tumblr" sounds legit. All the others are lame.

No, I will not be checking out your “Substack”. I don’t tell people to check out my Buttondown, my Ghost, or my Transistor.

I ask them to read my newsletter, my blog, or listen to my podcast.

There’s something poetic about Team USA hockey having their goals overturned twice by the officials given all the rules their orange pumpkin leader they have thinking he doesn’t have to follow any rules.

This is the beautiful view of Italy we get during commercials for the Olympics on CBC Gem. 😍 (they do still show some commercials.)

What a goal by Macklin Celebrini. 1-0 Canada after the first. #GoCanadaGo

TIL that FFMPEG's full Christian name is "FAST FORWARD MOVING PICTURE EXPERTS GROUP" via @chromaticshiftpost.bsky.social.

No me neither. I assumed it was actually a joke because I didn't even realize that was it's full proper name. lol

FFmpeg: Features, Use Cases, and Pros/Cons You Should Know FFmpeg is a powerful, open-source software suite that consists of libraries and tools designed to handle multimedia files, including video, audio, and images.

That is actually the name of it apparently. 😆 cloudinary.com/guides/video...

haha i love the old references to Google+ that are still lingering around the web.

Something relaxing like a post apocalyptic read? 😂

Debating which #book to start next: fiction or non-fiction?

Seems like your friend had some good YOLO style parenting. :)

Sex ed from a very horny video probably wasn't super helpful, but maybe it did help a few of us. lol

I don't remember the questions either. But yeah I remember going to a friend's house and playing it because there's no way my parents were letting that in our house. lol

Age verification? I remember when Leisure Suit Larry asked a question only people old enough to know could answer... and that worked.

Based on a random sampling of the last few #Fortnite games I’ve played, I think Fortnite might be the best way I can help educate Americans on what Canada and Canadians are actually like. Usually I just mute people, but it’s been fascinating to ask “why do you think that?”

Exactly. 265 is still an impressive number. Or whatever. Even 10. lol

Oh I can take it. :) Even as a joke, I appreciate the friendly pushback on being lazy with myself in my own self-inflicted project.

FAIR!

Oh boy my brain is ready to hit the done button already. 😝

For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

On the one hand, TikTok is a privacy nightmare.

But on the other hand, how else would I have been able to do a terrible lip sync to something Jewel Staite said and have her comment on it? 😆

Sweet! Thanks for the recommendation and for listening to A LOT of @shoptalkshow.com!

How do you like Circle now that you're a few months (years?) in to using it?
