I didn’t think it was possible, but I think I like the HBO version of The Last of Us more than the game itself.
That last episode was simply remarkable.
I love that Apple’s Push Certificates Portal hasn’t been updated in years, and remains a glossy time capsule of Aqua years past.
Hank GreenHow am I supposed to quit Twitter when an insufferable shitstain gets owned by a teenage climate activist so hard that he made a douchy reply video that led Romanian authorities to his location leading to his arrest on suspicion of human trafficking?
Second favourite bit of Die Hard trivia. This is Al Leong and he was originally going to be killed off early in the film. But during this scene, he improvised stealing a candy bar.
Writer Steven de Souza said “That assured him a longer life… He's one of the last guys to die”
My favourite bit of Die Hard trivia:
Because the film is based on the follow-up novel to The Detective, the studio was contractually obligated to offer the role of John McClane to Frank Sinatra (who was 70 at the time).
He declined.

Adam WilbertOne of the things I would miss here on Mastodon was all of the alerts from my local infrastructure and government twitter accounts. These will likely take a very long time to make the migration.
With https://bird.makeup, you can create bot accounts that put those tweets in your Mastodon timeline. For instance, I follow the Washington State Patrol account for regional weather related road closures and accident reports:

Made it back to Toronto without issue yesterday… only to have the power go out 3 times.
We’re currently sitting in the dark by the fireplace.
Simon WillisonMy least favourite sharp edge of Mastodon is the fact that when you view someone else's post you only see replies to it that are known to your server - so there's actually a good chance there will be replies that are completely invisible to you, especially if you run your own instance
I'd love it if tapping a post kicked off a request back to the original server that fetched the current reply count and provided a "view all replies" button if there were replies not yet visible to me
