Ran my first ever 10k today in the HOKA Paris Centre race. It took me a little over an hour (but only a little 😉), so I kept my brain busy with the @empirepoduk.bsky.social podcast ❤️.
Then I hiked up to Gare du Nord for a well-deserved thali and South Indian coffee.

Cynthia Erivo came to Cleveland Orchestra’s summer home, Blossom, to perform mostly pop, jazz, and a few Broadway tunes arranged for orchestra to a crowd of 20k. There was no Wicked, which I think is sad for all the little girls who came out (dressed up). But she sang the hell out of Feeling Good.

New murals just dropped. #Clichy
Le festival d’art urbain C.A.P.S. a lieu ce week-end à Clichy, mais je ne sais pas si ces nouveaux en font partie. En tout cas, c’est un super ajout sur mon chemin vers l’Aldi.

More progress on the LostMa corpus, now that the French texts and witnesses have been entered, as well as all the Middle Dutch and (almost) all of the Middle English.
Next big milestone is Middle High German! Can’t wait to see if its survival rates maintain or change the trends we’ve already seen.

Because I’m still not totally happy with our website’s bar graphs, I thought, this afternoon, I’d quickly swap out Chart.js for D3.

Les cerisiers du Parc de Sceaux ne sont pas encore fleuris (samedi, 5 avril) mais j’imagine qu’ils seront tous prêts d’ici au milieu de la semaine.
Bien que les fleurs ne soient pas toutes ouvertes aujourd’hui, le château Colbert a été ouvert gratuitement exceptionnellement. Il reste gratuit demain

“The 24-year-old lost the ball with his first involvement — a moment celebrated almost like a goal by the City crowd.” (The Athletic)
City then proceeded to suck defensively. They squandered their lead twice, losing 2-3.
👑 Vinicius Jr assisted 2 of Real’s 3 goals and won “Player of the Match.” 5/5

In the first minutes, fans unfurled a banner with the Oasis lyrics “Stop crying your heart out.” (The Mancunian band’s members support City.)
The banner meant to poke at Vinicius Jr for losing the Ballon d’Or—and at his team for not attending the ceremony last year.
So what did Vini Jr do? 4/5

City lost to Real this week. But before the match started, the club’s social media tried to mock Real & Vinicius Jr in particular.
They posted to X a photo (taken awkwardly against the wall) of Vinicius Jr walking near posters celebrating Rodri’s Ballon d’Or win, hung next to the dressing room. 3/5

(1) This week, City hosted Real Madrid for their 1st UCL matchup.
(2) Last season, Real’s Vinicius Jr and City’s Rodri were both nominated for the Ballon d’Or. Rodri won.
(3) Ever since Rodri’s injury this season, City’s “genius” manager and his expensive superstar team have collapsed. 2/5

Anyone know how to make a social preview for a link from a Next.js web application? I played around with favicons a while ago (got a cute little book to appear at the top of the tab on a browser) But I don’t know how to get something pretty to show when the link is shared.

Aw, it’s ok, Blue Sky. I looked into the source code when I got started here a year ago & saw what a small community had built. It’s incredible the scale their code needs to work on now. Server errors happen to the best of us.
It’s not like this is Outlook & my department’s paying an arm & a leg 🙄
