👋 sorry to jump in this thread, but I'm in the process of planning a trip there - just curious about the 'bringing onto the train' bit, was it around taking a large bag(?) Did you get told you couldn't bring certain things?

(Sort of related, because I can't scroll easily with a mouse, I use `space` to move down through the article & I just noticed that when your newsletter dude pops out, the focus switches to it, so my next `space` press triggers the modal, and then I get stuck in the sign up 😅)

Really interesting, thanks for sharing. As someone who also has RSI, definitely food for thought there 🙏

I mean you saaay you weren’t going for quality, but there’s definitely gold in there. (it was also my birthday yesterday, so I’m taking that post as a gift 🎁)

Somehow about to spend my Saturday night joining millions of people watching Snoop (+ others I'm less fussed about) do some sort of thing on Fortnite as the season finale.

I only recently watched the Mythic Quest episode with Snoop in, so this definitely still feels like a joke.

Ironically, the only place I've seen people saying stuff about 'bluesky being an echo chamber' is on bluesky.

RIP Saafir, the saucy nomad, a philosopher of train yards, cracked time & concrete. One of the greatest battlers to ever destroy, a master lyrical technician w/ cadences still too futuristic for modern mathematics to decipher. A Bay legend, inventing rhythms unbound by gravity.

Saafir of Hobo Junction, formerly of Digital Underground and Golden State Warriors passed away the day after the 30th anniversary of the legendary Hieroglyphics/Hobo Junction live on air battle on The Wake Up Show

Saafir saying “Hella… we hella raw!” on Casual’s “Fear Itself” changed history.

And that concludes my interest in “boxing” for another few years.

Ha! Ducking autocorrect strikes again. 🥊

I don’t watch boxing, I don’t even really endorse (or understand tbh) boxing, but I do know that I sincerely hope Tyson knocks him the duck out. That would be fine. (I’m not staying up till 4am to watch it though - highlights in the morning).

It’s not just “a hip hop LP”, it’s “*the* hip hop LP” - 30 years old and fresh as ever! I’m not saying every song is a personal favourite, but there is ZERO filler on there; skip free, trimmed of any excess, flawless piece of music.

Nas - Illmatic.
The fact that it took me – a random stranger to you – to add this to your replies, is disappointing. I thought this place was supposed to be the good place.

I'm here on bsky having the time of my life with a bunch of friends. They're all just out of frame, laughing too.

Had a lot of fun seeing these lot perform last night 🎻 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1wJ... – they were ace. Yet again, I find myself wishing I could play the violin. Or sax. Or any instrument tbh.

I need to stop looking through those archives 🙈 good lord, I used to post some shit 😅. Yet another reason to nuke that account.

Two tweets from me, the first in March 2007 saying 'trying out this twitter thing' then the next from May 2008 announcing my return to try it out again.

I was trying to remember what I used to post on twitter, so I could think of things to post here.. so I looked it up. Safe to say there's a pattern in my social network onboarding journey 🙃

Fuck it, right(?)

Took me a while to get an invite..

I typed `brew install postgresql` about 27 minutes ago.

All I wanted to do was make a quick backup of a supabase db; this is a tad ridiculous.

I've only *just* noticed there's a 'following' / 'discover' tab at the top here, and now I'm getting 1000% less VMA content.

Reader, I did not become more inclined.

Hoping that having used this addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo..., I'll be more inclined to pop over to here

I made it! Much appreciated @rooreynolds.bsky.social 🙌🏻
