Turn on shielding → watch your origin traffic flatten into a smooth, optimized dream. That’s exactly what happened for the @rustfoundation.org when they enabled shielding on Fastly Compute.
The before/after? VERY satisfying. #FastForward

Don’t quite get people who live tweet F1 races … surely anyone who cares is either watching already or is going to be pissed about the spoilers.
I mean - I’d get it if it was commentary or colour but it’s just a statement of what’s happening: “Alice overtook Bob!” … gee, thanks!

The infrastructure of the Internet would run longer without electricity than without trans folks tbh
If the US blocks access to HRT, ADHD drugs, and SSRIs, I cannot begin to describe to you how much all of the tech sector will screech to a halt. The internet is built and maintained by trans people, people with chronic depression, and the neurodivergent.

The private plane owned by Vince Neil from Mötley Crüe ran into the private plane owned by Vince “Swingers / Dodgeball” Vaughn in Scottsdale, AZ killing one person and the writers of this season of “America” aren’t even trying to make things plausible anymore.

Around 8:30 last night I was on my phone looking for restaurant reservations for later in the week via Opentable when suddenly I got a notification “Coming up: reservation at [restaurant] at 9:00pm - it will take 15 minutes to get there”.
What?! Did I accidentally reserve dinner for tonight?

I had FSA money left over so I bought an Oura Ring at the end of the year and it’s great because now, at 3am when I can’t sleep, I can look at the app which will show data telling me that I have insomnia.

So I’ll be honest. Despite all historic evidence to the contrary I assumed this @cardsagainsthumanity.com holiday promotion was a joke. But I like their jokes. So it was worth it.
But no. It was a real potato with diamonds. And now I don’t know what to do with this fact.

People can be a fuckwitted, venal group at the best of times and one of the more common small reminders is “please stay seated at the end of the flight so passengers with a tight connection can get off first” [ everyone stands up immediately and starts blocking the aisle ]
