I’m very excited for all of America watching bad bunny this weekend blissfully unaware of lyrics like this
Lyrics from Apple Music Spanish: Tírate fotitos ahora, porque ahorita te vo' a despeinar English translation: Take your little selfies now, 'cause l'Il mess up your hair in a bit

I started reading this article without noticing the writer, and as soon as I got to this, I knew it was @farfarraway.bsky.social 😂

Now, folks can call Lou Turk's something else: The Carousel Delco, though the odds that they will actually call it that are exactly zero. It's as likely as Philadelphians calling the Gallery the Fashion District or anyone saying Columbus Boulevard instead of Delaware Avenue.

Based on how 2026 has been going so far this probably isn’t far off

I have the hardest time keeping all the @awscloud.bsky.social security tools separate in my head. Guardduty, Inspector, Detective, Macie, Security hub, Trusted Advisor, Config. There’s too many similar names.

I am not a crackpot.

I was just looking at AOL’s ownership history, and it seems impossible now that AOL bought Time Warner and not the other way around
In 2001, at the height of its popularity, it purchased the media conglomerate Time Warner in the largest merger in US history. AOL shrank rapidly thereafter, partly due to the decline of dial-up and rise of broadband.

I hate the new safari UI *so* much. If you go to settings - apps - safari, you can change it. I switched from compact to top, and it’s still way too translucent, but it’s better than it was

They are such ridiculous dogs.
A pit in a fuzzy sweater laying patiently waiting with a treat balanced on each paw A pit snuggled up on the couch. His head is on a pillow, and he is tucked in under the blanket, obviously.

@ismh86.net look what my neighbors were recycling the other day! I resisted the urge to trashpick a 30 year old powerbook box (obviously because it was empty)

Facebook marketplace: just when I thought you couldn't get any more annoying, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!
A jouch for sale for $1000. If you’re picturing a couch with a hand-sewn cover made from patches of varying shades of denim, you’re right!
