Shoutout to all my friends who, in the last 3 years, I have only communicated with by exchanging high fives on @Duolingo!

We should hang out more often!

I made ChatGPT write the Laws of Cuteness

> The first law of cuteness states that the cuteness of a cat cannot be created or destroyed, but can only be transferred or converted from one form to another.

> The second law of cuteness states that the cuteness of a cat will always tend towards maximum cuteness.

> The third law of cuteness states that the cuteness of a cat approaches maximum cuteness as the cat's environment approaches absolute adorableness.

> The zeroth law of cuteness states that if two cats are in cuteness equilibrium with a third cat, they are also in cuteness equilibrium with each other.

A corporate AMEX acct has a max length of 20 chars for the street address, and no second line. Between a 4-digit street number and "Apt XXX", that leaves only 8 left for the street name and type.

wow, Hive Social won't let you add any photos unless you grant it access to *all* your photos. Normally on iOS you can choose to give an app access to only select photos, but it recognizes this and prevents you from doing anything. Super sketchy, will not be using this.

good news: my Mastodon/fediverse timeline has already ramped up to the level of activity of my Twitter timeline

bad news: catching up on my Mastodon/fediverse timeline is now as noticeably bad for my mental health as Twitter was

Some day we're going to look back at social media and say "what are you talking about, there's no way everyone on Twitter was all on one instance"

Whenever I open twitter now, the home timeline has like 2 new tweets. I'm not sure if this is because the twitter infrastructure is failing, or because actually there was one person individually responsible for creating your home timeline and they were fired last week

Whoever did the electrical wiring in this apartment should have their license revoked.

1) the circuit marked "bedrooms" serves literally every lower outlet in the entire place, including both bedrooms and the living room, and the only place to hook up an AC ...

The number of people in my Twitter timeline still posting about anything other than the Twitter collapse is rapidly diminishing
