This chart, which is unnecessarily harsh on the great @markhamillofficial.bsky.social by neglecting his voice work, redeems itself with its x- and y-axis icons

Thanksgiving this year falls on the 28th, and 28 is a perfect number – meaning that it is equal to the sum of its proper divisors (28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14).

So... I hope you have a truly perfect #Thanksgiving!!

I’ve created a small Python script to extract the social graph of followers and followings for any public Bluesky account.

You can upload the output CSV to a free @graphext.bsky.social account and create an interactive project like this one of my followings
