Back before going wireless, I learned that the sweet spot for me was to get entry-level buds from the likes of Sony or Marley and then be ready to replace them as the wire inevitably got damaged by getting caught on something. Since switching to wireless buds that problem is 100% solved, and the sound quality is much better. (I have other frustrations with wireless buds but sound quality and damaged cables are not on the list!)

Anyway, enjoy your wired headphones, kids!

"Many companies admit they frame layoffs or hiring slowdowns as AI-driven because it plays better with stakeholders than saying the real reason is financial constraints. Nearly 6 in 10 companies report doing this, including 17% that claim to do it exactly, and 42% that say they do it somewhat." (from a December 2025 survey of 1000 hiring managers in the US) #ai #work

The problem with following Threads accounts here on Mastodon is that the people there are writing for Threads, which is a very different vibe and context than Mastodon.

Writing for the algorithm first is very different than writing for people first.

Not a genre (romance) I read personally, but every independent bookstore is a win for our communities, imho.
