I had a dream last night that I joined a Zoom call and they had done some sponsorship deal with an upcoming Alien franchise movie.

When you joined a meeting it defaulted your video to all these rotating viewpoints of one of those facehugger things attacking you.

Probably a sign I need a break 😅

Now that Bluesky is picking up steam simply by copying all the great things about old Twitter before it got shitty, we need the same for Pinterest

I'm going to start posting what I'm working on with @apocalypsetrivia.com

I haven't given it much (any) love over the last 12-18 months, but it still converts ~50% of free trials and has a pretty passionate userbase

Maybe it's time to stop lurking and actually join the #buildinpublic community

DisneyPlus thinks that each tv in my house is from a different household and makes me update my location every time. (I think because Google Fiber sometimes assigns IPs that come up as a different geographical location)

Now it has locked me out for doing it too much.

I would watch a well written comedy series like The Office set in the Star Wars universe
Same

The more this show is basically Star Wars meets Dunder-Mifflin, the more I love it

Had to do it.

I set a short expiration hoping this flurry fades, but 80% of the posts I was seeing were about creating or asking to be added to starter packs.

Love the concept, don’t love the current side effects

When we say AT Protocol out loud, are we saying each letter or one word like “cat” without the c?

My wife and I both got new phones a couple of weeks ago. We just got the bill and I noticed that Verizon charged the total sales tax from that one transaction (2 phones) to _each_ line, effectively doubling the sales tax.

Billing systems are hard.

This is why I’m most intrigued by this platform. BlueSky (at least so far) is what I had hoped Twitter would move toward. Even with Musk initially talking about open sourcing the algorithm gave some hope it would return to the developer friendly platform of old. But it evolved in a different way.
In short, the right people are working on this, they're not out to build a Twitter clone, they're out to reshape the web, and help us return to the original promise of an open platform, a sense of ownership, and the ability to share with each other on our own terms.

Just did some tv repair, and it actually worked!
