As soon as I saw her in the video, I was betting that they’d find a way to center the culture vulture in this video, son. https://twitter.com/chaedria/status/1291768311030714369

Getting “follow” webmentions from people adding me to their blogrolls is always fun. (Thanks Chaitanya!) It’s also a nice discovery feature reading through the lists of people I ought to consider following myself.

Lol, this is doubly timely with the reveal of a white cosplayer in that WAP video. Tbh, I didn’t realize it was her until I realized I couldn’t recognize her out of the set of people. https://twitter.com/GraffitiFly/status/1286458394245607425

So I want to support music artists more directly. Streaming doesn’t seem to be a big method in that (most of the profits end up in the hands of the streaming platforms). But like it seems like if you want any music, you have to go there or wait until the LP is released? Kinda sucks.

For some reason specific to Bluebird, I can’t get the Microformats JavaScript library working. I can see how this would be a huge road block for anyone wanting to build IndieWeb stuff if a core component of it (Microformats) can’t be worked. Lemme see if I can reproduce this and figure out if it can be patched.

She gave me the toy and it felt so light. I come back to her bed and found out why.

I love this fit but my butt is too big for those pants lol https://twitter.com/blaqueword/status/1291746586079485958

This week’s data marks a return to ambiguities we last saw in April and May. For the first time, we saw week-over-week testing numbers fall—and this decline makes drops in new COVID-19 case numbers difficult to interpret. Deaths continued steady rise. covidtracking.com/3vp9R4R8pFDhKm…
Y’all, I know the attention is off Portland again but what is happening here, what the local police are doing to protestors vs the narrative being spun in official statements IS BAD. It is a full on double-speak campaign, meant to delegitimizate and target peaceful protestors.

Yeah, if you want to play the definitional game the paper is a white paper. That's not a pure opinion paper.
No power and water for days (week?) ... For fourth time in a decade. Cell towers failing. Our national response to COVID-19 an embarrassment. No longer allowed to call USA a developed nation. What is word for undevolopment? (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/1izPxy)

First thing I did when I heard no power in New York was calling family. It happened only in Manhattan? That’s low-key a first.

Good news in the world of Git forge providers! Need more solutions to break this monoculture we got going on. https://floss.social/@forgefed/104156752006781577

“It’s actually pronounced ‘convicted fee-lawn’”
This is actually the correct pronunciation. Most Americans say it wrong. Thailand is pronounced phonetically. It’s “Thighland,” not “Tai-land.” twitter.com/ther...
A question I desperately want @Popehat to answer as I’m only 4 eps into the Perry Mason reboot: Ken, is EB Jonathan a good lawyer?
Teach me how to not be resentful at the early 20s FI/RE bloggers who are perfectly nice people who make more in a year than I have in my whole career.
They’re absolutely right. Apple is an amazing company with incredible products, but their approach to managing the App Store absolutely must change. Taking this position in the midst of antitrust hearing? Mind boggling!
Microsoft has issued a FIRE response: "Apple stands alone as the only general purpose platform to deny consumers from cloud gaming and game subscription services like X...
