Why is the @bsky.app Discover feed mostly made up of accounts I already follow? I have previously discovered them, which is why they’re in my Following feed. Seems like the algo needs a tweak or something.

Second year in a row that @scalzi.com sweeps my #SpotifyWrapped as Top Artist. Should I go for three or do I need to expand my musical horizons?

I feel like we should refer to him as The Andrew Formerly Known as Prince, but I don’t want him associated in any way with the One True Prince.

Walkoffs are great and all (especially since they were one out away from being no-hit tonight) but I’d rather the @orioles.com just be winning outright by the 3rd inning or something tomorrow. Can we make that happen please?

Wore my lucky shirt to the @orioles.com game yesterday and they won!
I just wish I had discovered it was my lucky shirt in April and not about 3 weeks ago. 😆

Hate fire sales. When I said the @orioles.com needed pitchers, I didn’t mean at the expense of the rest of the team! Gonna miss seeing Mullins, O’Hearn, Laureano, & Urias take the field. Kittredge too.
We might as well trade the Oriole Bird while Elias is at it and be completely done for the year.

Some longer thoughts on this topic over on my site. Also, if you're a native-born US citizen, now is an excellent time to get a certified copy of your birth certificate, and to get a passport with a passport card:

I finally have caught up, and now have my PhD in #SYMHC! It’ll be kinda weird not listening to Holly and Tracy all day, everyday.
Guess it’s time to catch up on some other podcasts while I wait for new #MissedInHistory episodes to drop.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

I know it’s Amazon and I shouldn’t be surprised, but way to mess up Goodreads Reading Challenges. I’ve read 1 book for 2025 but it’s counted twice because it’s pulling from both Goodreads and Kindle with no way to edit.
Good thing I also have @thestorygraph.com to track my reading more accurately.

Woke up to a text from my friend who is in #NewOrleans about her being okay and just thought she meant recovering from her family’s NYE shenanigans. I wish it had been what she meant.
This is terrible news.

Go old school and use a PAPER. Calendar. You don’t need anything fancy. There are plenty of year-at-a-glance templates out there that you can print out and use. And PLEASE don’t save a copy on a device or online.
Stop using these apps entirely, people. Get a notebook and a pen and go analog. I'm serious
The ovulation tracking app, "Ovia", now mandates you identify what state you live in. Delete immediately and warn anyone who might need to know.

Not even close to being a #BlueSkyElder, but not necessarily a Newbie either. Maybe more like a #BlueSkyAcolyte?
