Thought I missed the #AllProSocial fantasy draft because I was too busy winning a Taylor Swift trivia night, but the draft is tomorrow so I’m good

The "sponsorship manager" for the Columbus Blue Jackets emailed me with no context asking me to come tour the facility, get free tickets, and "learn more about ticket plans for the 2026-27 season and explore what would be the best fit for you". Is this how they normally sell season tickets?

It turns out every tech youtuber was in Columbus last week for the re-opening of microcenter.

I can use the semi-colon whenever; I; want; I don't subscribe to society's grammar laws.

Beeper shutting off their web app is a personal attack against me, the only person who uses the web app.

Like if bluesky users hating AI is truly the only reason someone is staying on twitter, I'm sure they can subscribe to a labeler that'll ensure they won't see a single AI criticism in their feed

I think if a bluesky board member can't explain to his friends how to use atproto feeds and moderation labelers to curate their experience then it may need significantly more UX work

Originally, there was only one fediverse protocol, but the first users grew too powerful and tried to build a bridge to Heaven. God split the fediverse into several protocols to stop that from happening again.

"I think the wild way this algorithm amplifies and forces negativity upon you has me reconsidering my philosophy on telling devs to look or post here."

It's 2026, I can't believe people are still saying this about twitter like it's a novel idea

The Ohio State Fair poster contest was won by a clearly AI generated image. The flags have the wrong number of stripes. The pigs are numbered 1, 2, and 1 (and may have extra tails?). For some reason there's a prominently featured Liberty Bell. And what worse is the other contenders were actually creative (https://old.reddit.com/r/Columbus/comments/1vb89gp/here_are_the_other_ohio_state_fair_posters_in_the/)

"For more than a decade, NOAA’s Climate.gov website has been the U.S. government’s premier platform for climate information for the public. In the first half of 2025, NOAA terminated Climate.gov’s full-time federal and contractor staff, shutting down the site's daily operations.

"The XY problem is a communication problem encountered in help desk, technical support, software engineering, or customer service situations where the question is about an end user's attempted solution (X) rather than the root problem itself (Y or Why?).

The XY problem obscures the real issues and may even introduce secondary problems that lead to miscommunication, resource mismanagement, and sub-par solutions. The solution for the support personnel is to ask probing questions as to why the information is needed in order to identify the root problem Y and redirect the end user away from an unproductive path of inquiry."
