Anyway, people, if you are writing a custom lexicon please use descriptions, because it's often not obvious what your type is for.

Ok my custom atproto lexicons project is up and running with pre-release packages.
It has @standard.site records, and the statusphere.xyz records.
I’ll do @leaflet.pub and @stream.place before doing an actual release. (What on earth is a stream.places rendition record?)

I had to buy a new wok because I put my old one in the oven to dry off, forgot, and Nikki preheated the oven two days later.
I lost 40 years of seasoning.
I’ve had the new one for three weeks and have been putting off using it in case it’s crap and I will be sulky all day.

The U.S. Department of Transportation brought to D.C. an automated bus to showcase its work on self-driving vehicles, taking officials from around the country on a ride.
One of those trips was interrupted when the bus got rear-ended by a Tesla.

Once again: You don’t actually like Gavin Newsom. You like his social media team, because you’re too online. The actual guy is terrible.
And no, Gavin Newsom’s *social media team* being lil sassy stinkers online while he lets Ben Shapiro dog walk him on his own podcast is NOT the degree of cold-blooded ferocity against MAGA rapists and murderers that I’m looking for.

OK I think I have C# @standard.site lexicons working, and testing. Debating if I want to do the hidden away subscription class as well.
Testing was fun, oh, leaflet they say, wait, @leaflet.pub records aren't compatible yet.
Damnit, now I need to do leaflet.pub definitions too.
