Things I have discovered about open graph link card generators.
If your front page is a login page.
And you use a 401 status for that like HTTP says you should.
OG link card generators treat that as an error even when the og tags are returned in the response.

In an unexpected turn of events, the 10 foot hoop skirt is now considered an essential part of the uniform for many target employees, preventing customers from approaching closer than 10 feet.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

#kawaiicon packing leasons I will absolutely forget by next time
1. I'm only here for 3 nights, I probably don't need three pairs of shoes
2. Allow space for the swag.
3. (related) I probably don't need to bring a hoodie when I'm picking one up and it's warm anyway

I've read so much about these over the years, but there's something kinda magic about seeing an enigma in reality.

It always surprises me how few places in Central Wellington are open for coffee before 9.

I don't really know what's changed. I don't think it's just getting older.
When I was a kid, going down the garden to set of fireworks with Dad on Guy Fawkes was the best thing.
But these days, I'm very much "ban the fuckers"
It really does feel like they're more intense and go longer.

There have been a few questions on how #SecretSantaAoNZ will work with including Mastodon players. So a quick explainer for those that are interested.
