Ivan shared this screenshot of @notion.com's highly anticipated offline mode on 𝕏 and inadvertently leaked some strange new features.

Reminded of Aphex Twin every time I drink water.
The lid of a black LARQ water bottle, which shows only the A of their logo. It has similarities to Aphex Twin’s more abstract “A” logo.

Toying with the idea of pulling Bluesky posts into my site, because I definitely post a lot and also have very good posts.

Also, a reminder that we're opening doors earlier at 9am for community members and then swiftly beginning our gladiator-style battles at 9:15am.

I know it's not quite what you were talking about, but it sure feels nice!
A screenshot of the CSS used to hide follower, like, and repost counts on Bluesky. /* ==UserStyle== @name Bluesky @description Hide all the things. @match *://*.bsky.app/* ==/UserStyle== */ [data-testid="profileHeaderFollowersButton"], [data-testid="profileHeaderFollowsButton"], [data-testid="replyBtn"], [data-testid="likeCount"], [data-testid="repostCount"], [data-testid="likeCount-expanded"], [data-testid="repostCount-expanded"], [data-testid="quoteCount-expanded"], [aria-label="Press to view followers of this account that you also follow"] {display:none;}

In case you need to spread the word.
An image of the "Don't make me tap the sign" meme from The Simpsons. The sign reads "'Bluesky' is not written in camel case'".

It’s Milo Monday, so you know what that means. You must post photos of your canine friends. Here’s Milo contemplating if he really is a good boy.

Front row seats for the ENG v. AUS rugby match on the weekend, complete with an obstructed view. Australia won in the 83rd minute. I don’t even follow rugby and it was the proudest I’ve ever felt.
A photo of the England versus Australia rugby match at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday the 9th of November, 2024. Australia won 42 to 37. No one expected that, especially the Aussies.

JavaScript libraries really need to up their marketing game. Chocolat.js was ahead of the curve in 2015. Still fresh.
An image of a marble horse hanging out by a pool. The pool has a big block of chocolate floating in it. Yes, it's a block of chocolate, Debbie. God, you shit in the jacuzzi one time and you never hear the end of it. An image of a chocolate-bar-fish-horse-big-ball totem pole. Mid-19th century, if I had to guess.

So, how long until Notion acquires The Browser Company and adds a browser to their line-up? A web clipper on steroids.
