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.
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.

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.

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. 😜
I feel like pooping on other social networks that people find community on, for whatever reason, is kind of an ick.

It feels like one of those fall days where we should have a fire on the deck and hang out for a while… but it’s November 14th? My brain doesn’t compute being on the deck in a tshirt while waiting for Neville Dogbottom to finish his toilet time.
If you’re looking for a slightly nerdier way to delete tweets, this script has been working for folks.
Congrats to Cynthia Block on becoming Saskatoon’s next mayor last night, and (I believe?) our first female mayor. 🎉 #yxe
