💥 did a small drawing explaining the JS execution model including the event loop. I hope it’s helpful to folks. Debugging is always easier when the underlying implementations are understood.

The Toronto feed got migrated and improved.

Instead of being purely driven by filtering the main feed, it now combines that with a list, which can be separately curated, of local accounts whose posts go in mostly wholesale.

Effectively trivial with @graze.social, this gives me a lot of ideas.

I migrated the ThriftSky feed over to @graze.social and it was easy and it was quick and I would recommend it and I will be migrating all* of my feeds there.

*there is only one other feed

Nelson Muntz is looking up at a movie theatre marquee off camera and saying "I can think of at least two things wrong with that title"

From The Simpsons, Season 7 Episode 20 "Bart on the Road", Nelson, Milhouse and Bart have just walked out of seeing the movie Naked Lunch.

Google Translate only works unidirectionally for paternal vs maternal relatives when translating to 🇧🇦. Even with leading/context it fails, e.g. "My wife's mother is my..." vs "My husband's mother is my..."

So instead of maintaining my interlingual eloquence, I am now fool.

Thanks, technology!

Running/operational lights and headlights are different. Learn how to operate them both. Your headlights are to help you see, your running lights are to help you be seen. Stop turning your headlights on in the middle of the day because of a bit of rain or cloudiness, you're needlessly blinding us.

Crossing to the other lane when turning. If we're turning onto a two lane road from opposite directions, we should be able to do so simultaneously.

Signalling at the start of the turn/lane change rather than in advance.

Racing. It's not a race! Zero benefit and you make it worse for all involved.
