Did Discord reset notifications for anyone else recently? Or did they add new “Adam ❤️ your post!” notifications that weren’t there before? Suddenly getting way more noise from Discord than I remember.

I did a stupid walk on the dumb treadmill this morning for the first time since before getting sick… please clap for me or I might never do it again. 😆

Speaking of not writing regularly - I’m updating my personal newsletter description now that Elon has helped ween me off Twitter. I’ve got a month to get another issue out or I’ll be breaking my promise of “at minimum once per year”. 😆

So called thought leaders on social media become thought leaders by not crediting their sources: discuss.

I kind of love seeing a blog link in someone’s profile, clicking it, and finding their most recent post from years ago saying something like: “Should I blog some more? Sorry I haven’t written much recently. Fell off it again.” I don’t feel so alone in my inability to be consistent in writing. 😊

Apple’s most popular podcasts of 2024 in the U.S. feels like a pretty good sampling of what I assumed Americans listen to, leaning towards true crime, conspiracy / politics / news, and celebrities having conversations. Any of your favs make the list?

Shovelling 37 times is enoughh for today. It’s probably enough for the whole winter tbh. 😪

Elon attempting to buy Substack makes perfect sense. It’s a safe home for right wing nonsense (and worse), and regular folks use it as well without knowing they’re supporting a bar for nazis. Kind of like Twitter.

Important macOS / iOS update to run that fixes vulnerabilities.

Dog owners: do you wake up the dog because you need to get a second cup of coffee? Or suffer caffeine-less for your dog’s sake?

Further proof of Bluesky being included in the conversation: Transistor.fm allows you to pull a person’s profile from Bluesky now. Super handy feature I use all the time on some podcasts I work on.

Parks and Recreation: The Complete Series is on sale for $6.99 on the Canadian AppleTV store.

First time seeing real snow. Turns out he likes it.

Now 3 of us have learned the hard way that Neville Dogbottom is big enough to grab food off the counter if we leave it for too long: this morning was a nice PB+J sandwich my son had just finished making for his lunch.

Neville’s been licking his lips for 30 minutes. 😆

If you’re not sure what to make / order to eat today, just a reminder that it’s scone Saturday. Every Saturday.

You’re welcome.

Neville Dogbottom would like you to know that even though he’s been a good boy, he still didn’t get to eat toast with jam off the plate like the humans. 😢

Get yourself a dog who’s happy to wait for you to go to the bathroom. 😆 A puppy with fomo is like toddler life all over again.

Some other “Chris” signed us up for emails from Knox County Schools in Knoxville, TN and while I’m a bit annoyed at getting the email, I’m more annoyed to see how readable and not Edsby their newsletter is. 😜
