Looked into getting a MEM vending machine which is very reasonably sized but the bidding starts at $1500! So we decided if we can raise $1000 we’ll cover the rest. Donate here! venmo.com/code?user_id...

We're overdue for ConEd oversight. We lost power for 48 hours in January and our bill is HIGHER than usual? How do they keep getting away with this? @chiosse.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social i'm sure we're not the only ones affected by loss of revenue due to ConEd's negligence.

Saw a review from @aftermath.site for the Echo Mini mp3 player and I’m excited to get back to iPod life. This feels like the best way to move away from Spotify, plus all of us geriatric millennials have huge music libraries from the early 00s already
Just got word that the toilet at @wonderville.nyc is clogged. If I start plunging at 11:55….
