@dmoser Par for the course. My small town built lots of bike lanes so that homeowners no longer have to leave their trash cans in their driveways or on the curb. SO convenient.

Please boost for reach 💜

@mathowie @delfuego @jessamyn @thomas they are a source of joy every time, unlike people trying to mansplain blogging to a pioneer of it.

@thomas Thanks. I have a blog, two in fact. This is a specific use case that Twitter worked well for and that I'd like to use Mastodon for. It's easier, using Mastodon's settings, to make a (short) thread where people only see the first post and can read the rest if they prefer. And some of the mobile clients make it simpler. It's not universal that people find threads annoying.

When people argue that economic growth is good for all, think about this:

"For every $1 of new global wealth earned by a person in the bottom 90% in the past two years, each billionaire gained roughly $1.7m."

Today, Stevie still exhorts us: don’t let them limit you to “just” an artist, or athlete, or entrepreneur, or teacher, or whatever role is dictated to you by society. Be you *and* be an activist. Stevie bet his life’s work that it would pay off, and persevered through years of setbacks. And he prevailed, for Dr. King. Just as importantly, Stevie's voice hasn't dimmed one bit in the decades since, and he remains profound and striking in his clear moral demands. We must listen.

Grief is some nonlinear, inconvenient bunk.

Just "watched" a 35 minute YouTube talk by extracting the captions using youtube-dl and then pasting them into GPT-3 and asking it to summarize them as bullet points

I see reports of slowing growth on #Mastodon. Good. Don’t tell anyone else. Everyone here is awesome.

Except the artists. Tell them. And the scientists. And the musicians. Tell them too. And the chefs. And the space nerds. And the mountain climbers and surfers. And the farmers. Tell them. And the horticulturists. And the photographers. And the software developers. And the poets. And the astronauts. And the dancers. And..

Tell interesting people, the fediverse is where you want to be.

I’m being admitted to the hospital again for one more procedure. Again both hips. It will be simple and I’m putting all my hopes this one will help me a lot. Cross your fingers for me. Have a drink or whatever you enjoy and a great weekend.

This was really fun to listen to! With @TamikaNews and @elliotcwilliams "Out There: Sampling non-alcoholic cocktails with Umbrella Dry Drinks" https://wamu.org/story/23/01/12/get-out-there-01-12-23-umbrella-dry-drinks-dry-january/

@stopdesign @tantek.com interestingly, TrackBack was designed before AdWords or Adsense existed, so there wasn’t authentication because there was no financial incentive for link spam. Google changed that and foisted a spam tax on the whole rest of the internet that eventually killed TrackBack.
