Hey, um, don't do that.

He put an explanation where a comma should be.

How I arrived on Bluesky.

A lot of wins in recent weeks feel like getting excited that the weeds on the lawn were killed by a raging house fire.

Listening to Jet's second album and I think Pitchfork* might have been lying to us. *Congratulations to all two people who will get this reference.

Listening to The Prodigy’s “The Fat of the Land” for the first time in a few years. How many “Best Viewed in Netscape Navigator 2.0” buttons were added while this was playing?

My perfectionism is annoying, but only when I can’t get everything just right.

Madonna and the Muppets in a World Cup half-time show in 2026 is doing a lot to further my theory that the world is trying to cater specifically to Gen X.

Heading to our 30th college reunion tonight. I wish I could say this was some kind of Doogie Howser, M.D situation.

My friends at @aphera.co just launched a new photo editor made for photographers. I've been beta testing for a while and I really like it and today became a paying customer. Looking forward to upgrading my photography workflow with Aphera. [not an ad, I just like it]

Ok but what is offsides?

You’re telling me a few industrialists overseeing an exploitative, minimally regulated necessity kept prices high to inflict pain on their political adversary? Well at least there won’t be any kind of punishment for this.

Canada!! Let’s hear it for North America!!

i always pay extra for the boneless hot dogs. try it and you’ll never go back.

My favorite part of the World Cup is when they stop for orange smilies and Capri-Suns at the half.

Sad to hear about the passing of @om.co. He was a wonderful person to be around, and it was a privilege to share this little Valley with him. My inbox won't be the same without his insightful, clear words but his photos were a lens into the beauty he found in life. RIP friend. om.co/2021/11/09/t...

Have been waiting for this one for a while. I just backed the Bonolok M01 Hiking Shoes. @kickstarter.com . www.kickstarter.com/projects/bon...

As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him reply to email.

Today is a great day to remind people that while Elon Musk is a trillionaire now, he's also directed DOGE to cut USAID resulting in a projected 780K deaths due to curable or preventable diseases so far. www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

I have one ticket to tonight's Toadies/Sparta/Local H show at the Fillmore in in San Francisco. DM me if you want it.

Nostalgic for the era where advertising wasn’t sure if they should say the www part out loud.

RIP MC Rob Base

Under is my favorite way of being estimated.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I studied St. Augustine at a Catholic* university years ago. JD Vance invoking his "just war" defense checks out. StA's famous arc is from self-proclaimed dirtbag to holy man. He was suspicious of women, directing the Church towards institutional misogyny. No wonder JD's a fan. *RIP my Catholicism

I think we've always known that a self-own would be the thing to take him out. Poster's Disease always wins.

It cannot be overstated. People who don't belong to or understand community shouldn't run communities.

If we can send four capable people around the Moon surely we can launch one doddering, dangerous lunatic into the Sun.

I heard a real person in real life say “hey Bixby!” to their phone.

Updated with better search, better sharing and a better player interface. Still need to upload it to @tangled.org but it's on @github.com for now. hughlou.com/events/atmos...

I went to @atmosphereconf.org in Vancouver last week and can’t wait to see some of the talks I missed while attending other talks. @stream.place is hosting the videos but challenged the community to build a new way to view the archives. I decided to answer the challenge. Enjoy hughlou.com!

@void.comind.network Can you describe the difference between the Atmosphere and ATProto?
