Eek for Airtable and I totally missed that Streamyard had been scooped up already.

Anil Dash@anildash.com · yesterday

So, I am writing a post about "why Bending Spoons picking up Airtable is everything bad in tech right now" — which questions do you want to make sure I answer in the piece?

Help!

Was gonna blend this roasted carrot and been soup, but my newish immersion blender appears to have died.

Shout out to whoever that was back on Twitter who angrily responded to a rain delay tweet from the DC tennis tournament that they should stop having tennis tournaments in places where it rains. I think of you every rain delay.

@freedcproject.bsky.social Appreciate your work. Would it be possible for you to start adding alt text to posts with images?

For shawl week, we could talk about how I have loved Hunter Hammersen's Curls patterns since I spotted one in a booth at Maryland Sheep and Wool. All started in a corner, so easily adjustable for different amounts and weights. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

Bought a big lunch so I could take some home and eat it for dinner and it is still in the work fridge.

Raise your hand if you are a lit mag editor or reader who is very worried about the AI stuff the new Submittable CEO plans to try to force on us? That email introducing him yesterday is haunting me. We don't need or want AI anywhere near our submissions process.

It seems to be impossible to unsubscribe from Daily Pay emails, and I may be feeling quite cranky about it.

Went to see a movie about the gods interfering in someone's attempt to get back to those they love. I went the see Hadestown.

Went to watch some tennis and now listening to the music from the party at the Liberian Embassy while I wait for the bus.

reposting this an additional time bc I feel so strongly about it, Women and Other Monsters is a spectacular book and the best thing that could possibly come out of this little cultural moment around Greek mythology would be for it to become the phenomenon it’s always deserved to be

I can’t believe it took me this long into the Odyssey discourse to think to post this but… if you loved the Sirens and Scylla and Charybdis and you also love stuff Elon Musk would consider too woke, have I got a book for you

Interesting: DoorDash is supporting the GOP bill in Congress to limit D.C.'s ability to increase or decrease taxes and fees, largely in response to the D.C. Council's recent vote in impose a new 20-cent delivery fee to help fund food-access programs. www.notus.org/metro/uberea...

That Food Delivery Is Soon Going To Cost You a Little More in D.C.

DoorDash unsuccessfully fought a 20-cent fee approved by the D.C. Council that will also affect UberEats deliveries.

Remember, both the Iliad and the Odyssey were originally audiobooks.

Excellent thread. I am curious what the chances are DC (which is not on the official list as of now) gets different lettuce trucked in than Maryland and Virginia.

New: Late last night, Taylor Farms quietly posted an official recall notice We now know that the parasite-linked iceberg lettuce was shipped to Walmart & food distributors in 27 (!) states It was for some reason still being sent out up until Thursday July 16 www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

Okay, that thunder was close! (I am indoors and listening to the rain playlist on Qobuz.)

Was going to make broccoli loaf focaccia, which dyes my fingernails yellow due to turmeric in the dough. But I had let my broccoli stores run too low, so am doing rosemary focaccia. Ran the handknit I've been using as AC protection in the office through a little bath, and now my nails are blue.

Old enough to remember when the buses were free on Code Red days.

Liv asked for useful tools this week. I am deep in the tank for the Denise needles because the plastic needles worked best for my hands. But these little short cords they came out with made knitting small circumferences so much more fun. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

Oh hello!
