But this year is gonna be different

A nap while listening to Dear Wormwood by The Oh Hellos is an amazing experience.

It was weird when we did 🤔

realising i haven't seen anyone do the "just fucking google it" in a long wile, and it's not because people got nicer, it's because google doesn't actually work great anymore

“Tiktok’s enshitification”

A really good read.

This is one of my favorite comics because I’ve heard from several people who successfully put out oil fires because of it xkcd.com/1890

Damn, I don’t remember the last time I sat down and played Pikmin through from start to finish. It must have been at least 8 years since I’ve even owned a machine capable of running it.

That said, ez game, 30 parts / 12 days only 250 pikmin ded 😎

Holy shit, folks here really be huffing “Threads bad“ copium, even more than the Mastodoners.

Why is “number” abbreviated as “no.”?

Here’s hoping the competition actually sparks some innovation and positive user experiences in this god-forsaken industry.

Better app icon when?

It’s fascinating to me how malls are dying out across the US, but are thriving and enjoyable (!!) elsewhere. Here’s one in Prague I enjoyed visiting when my luggage got delayed 🙃

I really don’t get how you’re supposed to find quality accounts to follow on here.

I must say, not a fan of the default Bluesky app. It’s… fine, but its awkward.

"I hope Twitter implodes!" I don't. I hope someone else takes over & the site returns to how it was before. I have spent years of my life posting over there. It's like losing a close friend that introduced me to all of my other friends. It sucks & I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm sad about that.

We will temporarily be pausing Bluesky sign-ups while our team continues to resolve the existing performance issues. We’ll keep you updated when invite codes will resume functionality.

We’re excited to welcome more users to our beta soon!

Our systems are currently experiencing some degraded performance as a result of record-high traffic. You may notice some slowness in-app as a result. Our team is working to resolve this issue.
