12 Angry Men on TCM. I can never flip past it.

I just hit the icon to send an email and the little narrator in my head said "enviar."

I'm VERY pleased.

Pura vida.

Season 1 of Better Call Saul is the best sustained season of television. Ever.

My cognitive load has continued to rise.

Not from general stress, but from spending more and more effort projecting, diagnosing, gaming-out, planning, preparing.

I have failed in mitigating this diversion of energy.

A lot of folks seem to be having the “is this thing on?” experience here. Me too.

In Costa Rica I can get 6 tacos and a margarita.

Or for the same price, a dental cleaning with a private dentist.

Or for $20 more, private front-and-back chest X-rays AND have them read by a private radiologist.

All without private insurance.

So, is Costa Rica expensive? It REALLY depends.

I just got the most entertaining error output I've seen in a while:

"Encountered unexpected token 'else'. You probably made a mistake."

Have you seen BlueSky on a landscape tablet? Ridiculous.

- you just have to scan TWO lists and look for UNFOLLOW buttons next to names you follow. There's no background info on the profile (town, job, name even).

The follow/follower vs friend difference is real and substantial.

And this post length limit fills up REAL quick. Hrmph.

Things we take for granted. Some rando Followed me. I get no say in approval other than blocking after the fact. All I know is his handle and his profile picture. Do not get a display of number of associations in common.

Please, please set a Display Name in your profile. We're all new here and the handle names aren't always helpful, especially if your profile pix isn't of you. Thanks

Also for me, I am at my keyboard all day long. Without a web based interface, I am much less likely to check this site or post on it.

I feel like this app is a bunch of well known personalities streaming posts at me from the firehose and they have no idea I exist. I do not like the twitter model.
