The attackers who hit debug and chalk have now also compromised the DuckDB packages. What a weird situation.

Some narrators don’t just read the story — they become it. Here are three who changed how I remember the books they voiced:
🎧 The Primal Hunter
🎧 He Who Fights with Monsters
🎧 The Wandering Inn

If you know, you know.

Want to know the best way to start a conversation with a stranger and actually BE INTERESTING?

Think "How are you doing?" is a good opener? It's not. That's why your DMs get ignored.

(Click the image and read the alt text to see what really works...) 👀
"How are you doing today?" I get over 50 DMs like that every single day. And no matter how well intentioned I am, there's just no way I can respond to all of them'especially when they feel like they were copied and pasted to a hundred other people. Ironically, if I did try to respond to each one with the same answer, I'd probably get flagged for spam. Here's the truth: If you want to start a real conversation with someone new, please don't lead with "How are you doing today?" It's generic. Forgettable. And 9 times out of 10, it'll get ignored. Instead, do a little homework. Read their bio. Check their posts. Find something they clearly care about and ask a question that shows you actually noticed. Let's say they're obsessed with cats and always posting pictures of their Maine Coon named Tom. A better DM might be: "Tom is gorgeous! Be honest - how much do you spend on food for that big guy? I've been thinking about getting a Maine Coon too, but I'm worried I'll end up spending more on cat food than rent!" Or maybe you've come across a total bookworm. Try something like: "I saw you're big into reading. I'm planning a two month break from social this summer and want to get lost in some epic fantasy. Got any must reads? I'd love to hear your top recs!" The key is simple: Be genuinely interested in the person you're messaging. Start with something real, something specific. Show you actually give a damn. That's how you stand out from the 99% who send the same tired DMs every day. That's how you spark actual conversation. Don't be boring. Be curious. You become interesting the moment you show interest in someone else. (Read that again.) So what do you think, does this land with you? Or are you still loyal to "How are you doing today?" If you think this might help someone level up their communication game, feel free to share it.

I'm testing @fedica for the first time. Sharing my blog post link (or any link, really) on X, and then separately on Bsky makes no sense in 2024.
