the reason for all these articles is that they miss us and need us back
"Bluesky is dying"
"Bluesky is worse than X"
"Bluesky is an echo chamber"
"Bluesky is intolerant"

It's all just a ploy to stop people who might join from coming over here and to stop views/opinions/content that gets traction on Bluesky from crossing over to other platforms and wider audiences.

I've finished reading "Lord Edgeware dies" by Christie and it was more interesting than I had expected. A clever plot and three serial crimes in unexpected timing.

Today is a special day because every year my timeline is filled with comments about Eurovision, especially the other place.

I’m reading a book and there’s the words of “the first floor” and “looking down”. It reminds me of the bad encounter of the storey numbering system in Europe.

My room in a hotel was 1** and I looked for my room in the ground floor and was at a loss.

personal curse is that every roommate I’ve had for 5 years has never wanted to renew the lease because they’re got a boyfriend/girlfriend and wanted to move in with them

I’m considering continuing to perform my gift to the universe but at this point I think I need a studio for my own mental health

I know it’s Sunday morning, but I didn’t expect to be literally the only person going through security and US immigration at Montréal YUL 😳

I wouldn’t read much into this with the larger political stuff going on, but anecdotally one of the security workers said it has been like this a lot recently.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Someone was talking about EDI (Edinburg airport) but I misunderstood that EDI as Electronic Data Interchange. I’m afraid I’ve been working at IT industry a bit long.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

I’ve met with President Zelenskyy and members of his government. They are strong, honorable allies.

Minnesota stands with the people of Ukraine as they fight to defend freedom and democracy.

Trump attacks Zelenskyy as a ‘dictator without elections’ who duped US
The president’s remarkable attack on the Ukrainian president is sure to deeply worry international allies and domestic supporters of an American-led global order.

I’m reading this book and finished one-third of it. Because the latest pages described the First World War, my head is now filled with the words related to the Great War such as Gallipoli peninsula, Dardanelles, Western Front, Hundred Days Offensive.

When I hear a word “big data”, which was a buzz word in early 2010s, I recollect a conversation like this;

“What’s big data? How big is it?” - “lt’s too big to handle it by Excel.” -“Ah, that’s too big!”

Very brief explanation.

The meme of early and middle 2000s in the Internet to me is this song, "Dragostea Din Tei" by O-Zone.

Though this song was sung by foreign language (Romanian), but the middle part "nu ma nu ma iei" can be easily recognized.

In a raw of a family of the president, I saw some presidents of IT companies, Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg (though limited to my recognition). This tells a lot and it was worth watching the inauguration ceremony in real time.
