what's your emily wilson onion accomplishment, mine is a peer-reviewed scholarly article with footnote to Dwayne The Rock

I sometimes wonder if this coffee shop I saw in Shenzhen is still there, and if they ever expanded the theme to other GWR stations. Bristol Temple Meads? Didcot Parkway?

getting ratio’d overnight by a bunch of strangers on the internet maps is like when i set out a light trap to go mothing at night and instead of beautiful moths i get drowned in annoying flying ants

Anyone saying that this shows people don't understand statistics are just showing they don't understand the marginal utility of money

Thanks Matt Damon and Harry Kane and your respective Wikipedia pages for all your help over the years whenever I need to transliterate my name

Call me Canada, because I discriminate against American cheese

I have to admit that Netlify does have the best swag for this weather

It's been a while, but I'm going to be giving quite a few talks about EmDash this autumn. I've added the first batch to talks.mk.gg 🇩🇪🇺🇸🇵🇱 Looking forward to catching up with lots of people!

Thanks Sol. It's great that you remember I'm English, but I don't need you to spell it "labeller" in all the APIs and lexicons you're building. Thanks Kimi for noticing.

Did anyone get photos of the badge customisation station at @atmosphereconf.org?

Whenever Röyksopp appears on my Spotify I do a double take and think it's @biilmann.blog

This really has been a good 24 hours for the funniest outcomes. Ronaldo crying, Belgium thrashing the US, Marine le Pen being told she can stand for president but has to wear an ankle tag, and now Farage's hilarious grievance-filled sort-of resignation speech.

Just me, or are chat and the Discover feed both down?

Question for the historians: is there any country that was founded *before* the people there were brewing beer. Possibly some Pacific islands that had no cereals?

watched a Belgian fan say "we have been making beer centuries longer than they have been a country" and ykw, fair play

This is so exciting

I start my new job in a week.

I'm very excited about this. It's a big one, and has been a long time coming. It's supported by Astro route caching as of Astro 7: docs.astro.build/en/guides/ca...

Was having trouble working out why so many people were extremely angry about this in the replies, before realising that they were mostly Americans who didn't understand that she was talking about kids who'd stayed up til 4am watching the football. Most, but not all though. A block-rich thread.

Peter Walker@peterwalker99.bsky.social · last mo.

Fair play to education minister Olivia Blake, on the morning broadcast round, whose advice to knackered school kids was basically: there will be plenty of days when you have a job and are really not up to it but have to struggle in, so consider today training for that.

Seeing the plans for this is what convinced me to stop arguing for the removal of streaming from Astro. Currently it's kinda crappy and prevents us from doing lots of good stuff, but this would let us do out of order streaming.

Barry Pollard@tunetheweb.com · last mo.

The first part of Declarative Partial Updates (`<template for>` out-of-order HTML) is now available, unflagged, in Chrome 150!! developer.chrome.com/release-note... The second part (the new JS setting APIs, include the streaming ones) we're still working on the spec side, but maybe for Chrome 152?

Eeeeeeeeeeee

Switching to GPT-5.5 because Claude's voice is annoying me, which seems a bit petty but I will be honest here: it is nice to not have so much loadbearing honesty in the seams of the substrate.

Share good Bluesky content on the other platforms. That's all. Show them what they're missing, don't scold them.

negging is…definitely a strategy. when people start coming over here with fighting energy, just know this is why. (link for veracity: www.threads.com/@bluesky_soc...)

I was 30 before I'd had my fifth prime minister. My 12 year old will shortly see her seventh.

Over the weekend somebody opened 25 PRs on one of my projects. They are AI-assisted (which is allowed), but the ones I've looked at seem good quality and useful. But how am I supposed to review 25 PRs well? That's days of work, even with AI assistance on my end. What policy could prevent this?
