There’s about 3 people who I would be excited to see in a crowd, all of whom I’d walk up to and say, “Let’s get the F outta here.” But I probably asked them to come with me to help me deal with the crowd in the first place.

May her memory be a blessing. ❤️‍🩹 I only ever knew my maternal grandparents. Grandpa died in 1991 and we lost Grandma ~two treats ago after a battle with dementia. By the end, the angry, bitter woman was no longer my grandma, so it wasn’t really a loss in the moment. Hugs from an internet stranger. 🤗

This is true.

Clearly need @bsky.app to confirm, but it might be an unintentional consequence of ICE being short. I can see that algorithm ignoring anything shorter than maybe 5 letters so that “the” doesn’t become a trending topic.

As a techie, I’ve taken to building an AI agent for the household Discord (using DeepSeek as the backend) because this seems like something I need to learn. I’ve given it a persona as our butler. That seems like a matching creepy. 🥸

I mean, it’s all about a clear requirements statement. If it needs to fit in your back pocket, it probably only needs to display a city or a maybe US State/EU country worth of area. But also I think this is a product idea: a polyhedron with a seam that splits and folds in on itself.

My favorite weird vacation flight was traveling home from Portland, OR to Wisconsin. Via Denver? $700-something. Via Charlotte, NC and Chicago? Like $110. Needless to say I took the longer route.

🤯 And also flat maps suck.

Because atproto is open, I expect the answer for this is an external app or website. But it seems like most of the search results are surfacing tools that implement the things in this article. 😒

In my experience cars do yell at some point. Usually a number of minutes and may or may not also involve being moving at some appreciable speed. But that only helps if you’re not listening to music turned up louder than the dash alerts…
