Not sure if it’s my ADD brain or some other thing but I’ll often think of a bunch of stuff to post in rapid succession. I’d love a client that would allow me to dump all that stuff into it and let it trickle out randomly over the course of a day or so.

Starting a meeting 5 minutes after it’s supposed to start to cater to those who can’t make it on time trains everyone to not respect each other’s time and not show up on time to begin with.

Pushed a some updates today to enhance the overall security for Deletem, the overall oauth experience for self-hosted PDS enjoyers and some UI/UX polish to keep the site as fast and comprehensive as possible.

Keep the feedback coming :)

The new Mastodon app icon is a choice. 😬

Man, if Bob Iger just stayed retired and let Disney figure out the Chapek situation on their own, he could have ridden off in the sunset as one of the great minds of leadership or whatever.

Now his legacy AI slop enablement with some of the world’s best IP.

Cool cool cool.

Nothing like buying power banks and losing them, then finding out they can catch fire. It’s like having little bombs somewhere in your house.

Stop using the power banks immediately and dispose of them properly.

If I use a wallpaper that isn’t a personal photo, it’s always from @basicappleguy.com, and the ugly sweater ones are always a favorite during the holidays.

Solid use case to delete posts using Deletem. Can filter by keywords!
Mandatory social media disclosure and surveillance “has not proven effective at finding terrorists and other bad guys,” EFF’s Sophia Cope told @NYTimes.com. “But it has chilled the free speech and invaded the privacy of innocent travelers” and Americans, too.

Why would anyone want to come here again?

Have a new doctor, and the office has a board with how many minutes the doctor is behind. I appreciate the transparency, I guess.

Note to make the earliest appt available in the future.

Some evening jams best paired with some wine and/or greenery. 🎧

If a choir starts singing while you’re watching Bluey, you’re about to be hit with the biggest feels you can imagine.

Crazy that I made a CLI tool for myself that turned into this. Feeling inspired, and now that you can use any PDS, I feel I can expand and add more features. My to-do list is growing.

Anything you'd like to see?
How it started VS. How its going:

Check this out and let me know if you have any issues.
One more thing...

Any PDS should work with Deletem now.

S/O to @blackskyweb.xyz and @rude1.blacksky.team for making it super simple to spin up an account and validate.
December 10, 2025 at 12:20 AM
Done! 🫡

Autofill your handle in Deletem!

ATProto friends, I'm setting up @deletem.app to work with self-hosted PDSes and I don't love the UI to differenciate 'Sign in with BlueSky' or Sign in with a self-hosted PDS. Any feedback on how to make it look better??
December 9, 2025 at 6:51 PM
Sup all. Been heads down working and have some cool stuff cooking for @deletem.app

Hoping to have self-hosted PDS support soon! 🫡

Been a longtime reader of @chorusfm.bsky.social and @jasontate.bsky.social since the AbPunk days. I admittedly use an RSS reader to consume the articles but today I went to the site and found this nearly impossible to read. Thoughts on making this more accessible? 🤞

As a dad to young kids I rarely go to the theater but I can’t help but feel sad for the loss that this will surely bring to movie goers.

The theme park nerd in me kinda wanted Comcast to purchase WB and see what Universal Studios could’ve done with the IP and maybe expand the Hollywood park.
