my X/twitter export finished today! i’m not going to fully delete my profile, because i don’t want someone to grab my username and pretend to be me. but i did finally delete all my posts. good fucking riddance to that place.
seeing “Playing Visual Studio Code” as someone’s Discord status will never not be hilarious to me
it’s honestly so wild to me that people will stay on X or Threads instead of trying out Bluesky or Mastodon because they get more “engagement” on Threads. social media algorithms have poisoned our brains into thinking we have freedom of reach and that our dumb shitposts should be shown to EVERYONE

testing a bastardized chimera of a recipe for my friend’s annual squash-themed cook-off… brown butter kabocha rice krispie treats with gochujang and black sesame seeds
im eating some garlic herb fries and they taste suspiciously like weed. it would be weird for a line cook to waste perfectly good weed on some stranger, so i know i’m just being paranoid. but… am i being paranoid because… i’m high?
if you’re a ramen place and you put “tonkatsu ramen” on your menu… 🚩🚩🚩

This is a great article about where newer social media networks like Bluesky and Threads fit into the existing ecosystem and it honestly mirrors a lot of how I feel about the current state of things, too.

New California law aims to improve pedestrian safety by changing parking rules
This new law is good. Cars parked up against an intersection obscure pedestrians until it’s too late, and drivers simply don’t look. Drivers in CA killed over 7000 people in 2023. This law will literally save lives but won’t someone think of the parking spaces???
