Hey, we ended up staying in Oxford (which is really cool, too!), so I didn't get to use any of these great suggestions. I'll be back, though, so I'll keep all these in mind. Cheers!

Hey! Had this acct for awhile, just now getting around to using it

Hey, haven’t talked to you in years, but found myself in Oxford, and was thinking about day tripping to London. Any “can’t miss” things to see, other than the usual? Hope all’s well, cheers.

Is there a way to see what ‘join #’ you are?

We'll see. There are "no ads" on Threads, but it's so pre-loaded with celebrity algorithmic bloat, and there's no way to dial in/out what you want, so that the honeymoon will blow over pretty fast, unless that changes quickly. Strong Google+ vibes, tbh

right? Weird world we live in.

Hear, here!

just snagged this off the interwebs

The bot onslaught has gotten serious in the last few mos. Elon pulled a GOP and telegraphed his intentions via parallel accusations.

at first glance, for sure

is this from a game or something? My brain is whispering "there's an 8 where 12 should be"

does this band play blues? Seems apropos if related to bluesky.

damn, looks like I'll have to re-learn how to actually be social, instead of simply re-posting or commenting on nerdy shit I'm into. This is gonna be weird for me.

Yup, and that’s not the kind of thing one would keep out of nostalgia. He had plans.

I sometimes use bing, but accidentally scrolling btwn chat & search drove me nuts until today. This script just changed that. You’re welcome. https://www.reddit.com/r/bing/comments/11f1yb6/solution_to_stop_accidentally_scrolling_down_to/

ah, so if you switch, is the old @bsky(dot)social address freed up for someone else, or does it remain unavailable for others?

first impression: it's 3 or 4 times slower than the Wrigley McKay shortcuts release from a couple months ago. I guess it's getting killed right now, or maybe bc Wrigley's just uses the api

oddly, I had to uninstall then reinstall the app for it to show up in my shortcuts actions list. Solved, though

weird. It's not showing up in mine. Newest iOS, iPhone 12 Pro. Is this on the upcoming beta, or should it be in the current shortcuts?

How do you set it up?

I’ve been in and out of film, and tbh, I think SAG members asking for ‘protection from AI’ and ‘more money’ in the same breath is likely to accelerate the coming cull.

learned a new word: irascible. Nice.

I'm not big on TikTok, but I found an ascetic Tibetan monk that plays singing bowls in a unique way w/ *insane* mastery of harmonics. Watch if he's on live (usually early and late, he's on now at 8:30EST). https://www.tiktok.com/@baoyixin01/live?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc

what's a pirate's favorite letter?

I’ve given up on that method for now b/c I have to wait for it. My 2 methods are press pot (don’t press until morning), and drip in my fancy cuisinart, but I use a gold mesh filter ($12 on Amazon) to avoid getting any filter taste. Srsly, gold mesh filter is a high-level recommendation.

It’s been in the upper 80’s here, so I’ve been making a whole pot at night to stick in the fridge for cold coffee the next day.

Are any of y’all into the generative AI art wave that’s hitting so hard right now? What are you doing, and what tools are your favorites?

Still very much a work in progress, but this feed shows you the most recent post from each person you follow (currently sorted roughly by when you followed them)
It takes a little while on first load because it has to cache all your follows.

Feedback desired!
