Props to the Olympics announced who are specialists in a sport and are able to
a) immediately identify the finer points of a trick that takes half a second
b) be able to articulate what they saw without choking
'oh look at her ankle on that 1600 double fakey slamboska, it looks a little off'

Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

In advance of The Winter Weather, your occasional reminder that no, you do not in fact have a responsibility to go drive around 'to see how bad it is out there'
This even applies to people owning big honkin' trucks and SUVs

Blue sky elders: is there a magical feed setting that will allow me to see reposts from people I follow, but only for the first N times it's reposted?
I want to see reposts because it's a way to find new folks to follow. But when 10 people I follow all decide to repost the same thing....
