I saw the Cambridge Starter Pack to help make Bluesky more hyperlocal and got v jealous, so I made a Somerville version for people who live in/talk about Somerville.

I am an avowed Quickbooks hater, so imagine my glee when I logged in this morning to find a completely new layout. Let's try the bookmark feature. When you type C to add "customers," the box goes away and won't open again until you refresh the page. And it clears anything you've selected previously.

Grant me the optimism of someone who can cold email a small biz with a pitch for their business ending with, "Feel free to grab 15 minutes on my calendar so we can chat."
Sorry, Brad, that's just not something I'm ever going to do.

There are two kinds of people who didn't "get" the Bad Bunny performance 1) those who see this kind of thing as an attack on their way of life and want to make it your problem and 2) those who see this and make a private fist bump motion while whispering, "Hell yeah, Mr. Bunny."

I think maybe it’s impossible to make good Super Bowl ads anymore because basically the only companies willing to pay for them are maximally extractive pieces of shit, so there’s no affinity for them and we’re all rooting against the ads.

If you validate my new found love of making short motion picture advertisements like this, I’m gonna become more insufferable and keep making them.

If anyone ever put olives in my tacos, I'd go to prison.
Hold up who the fuck puts olives in ground beef tacos?
Had no choice but to pay $40 for a taxi burrito because I couldn't figure out how to decant olives

People keep saying "they don't make good stuff anymore" and to that I say boo to them.
I’ve always said more popstars should duet with puppets, so Sabrina Carpenter and Kermit the Frog singing Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s ‘Island in a Stream’ as part of The Muppet Show’s latest special is perfect (to me). [instagram.com]

Year 11 of me not knowing it was Ice Cream For Breakfast Day until it was too late to plan a promotion.
I wanted to give everyone enough time to prepare.

A good thing you can do about this instead of dooming is Google “how to become a poll observer in [your town]”
Breaking:
The White House press secretary just said she "can't guarantee" that ICE won't be around polling locations in November.

This picture doesn’t do it justice, but at the bottom of my pint of cookie dough, there was a baby’s fist-sized chunk of cookie dough just hanging out. Very delightful.
Remember folks, we pack everything by hand at Gracie’s so there’s always a chance this could happen in one of your pints, too!
