Calling this phenomenon “loon fallout” certainly makes it sound worse than it is (although I am still concerned for the birds). https://www.dakotanewsnow.com/2023/04/22/loon-fallout-weather-causing-birds-fall-sky-wisconsin/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=snd&utm_content=ksfy
Dr. Sean MungerI need to find an #artist who can create covers for Kindle Shorts books, science fiction, in a style that evokes the pulps of the 1930s/40s/50s. Will have to be relatively inexpensive, as (hopefully) there will be a lot of them. Does anyone have any recommendations before I spin the roulette wheel on Fiverr?

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸“This would be far more reliable than Twitter’s current pay-for-a-checkmark system. Because the CBC’s Mastodon server would be connected to the larger fediverse, the CBC would both enjoy global reach and local autonomy. And no billionaire could ever take that away.”

Isaac FreemanThe worst thing that ever happened in software engineering was when Kirk asked Scotty how long something would take and Scotty said thirty minutes and Kirk said you’ve got five and Scotty got it done in five and impressionable children watched this and grew up to become managers.
G. Willow WilsonI love the fact that multilingual film/tv and subtitles have become normalized in the English-speaking world. Watching so much stuff that might not have surfaced 10 years ago.

Andrew LeaheyYou know FAQs aren’t lists sorted by frequency of asking because the first entry is almost never “Why me?”
Judd LegumYou aren't paying $8 for Twitter.
You are paying $8 for a picture of a blue check mark and a few marginal features.
How would paying for a blue check mark get me 1 new "fan"?
Twitter is worse without actual verification and paying $8 won't make it come back.
