Discord served its purpose almost flawlessly by 2021 and then constantly made itself worse over the ensuing years
The constant drive to change products that serve their purpose perfectly well really does exemplify the problems with an "endless growth" mindset

Features an ideal social network should have
I give my thoughts on what criteria should make up an ideal social network, and why we might not see such anytime soon.

Apparently the Seahawks' current defense nickname is "The Dark Side?" Couldn't get enough villain names after "Legion of Boom?"

not going to read anything past the headline, it's all caffeine and high fat cheese from here on out

I've finished the first book in in the "Game Changers" series (where "Heated Rivalry" comes from). Fake trademark-friendly sports team names are fun (New York here has the "Admirals"?).

Guess the Seahawks are still obliged to go to the White House. Can only imagine the half-baked/offensive remarks Fearless Leader will make...

Good, because I was not pressed to hear a jingoistic spin about a team called the Patriots coming back from the brink of defeat in the final hours.
Because you know the Administration would LOVE to have that kind of narrative, especially against a city they hate like Seattle.
So, go Birds!
