I tend to be chalant, but life is short, so I'm finding ways to celebrate, rest, and enjoy it more, too.

With Anthr-pic sucking up rare physical books and destroying them, I have an idea.
We get organized and save what we can. New libraries/museums. Maybe a regular event for the community to spend time learning about certain texts, where they can be viewed in other parts of the world, etc.

I made a one-button iPhone shortcut that makes sure volume is up and starts a 2-minute timer so I'm reminded to turn off the stove. (🔥 is drying a cast iron pan.)
My issue: The timer has no name. Thankfully for now I'm *likely* to know why I set the timer, but I want my screen to say something like Turn off Stove as the alarm is going off. I will give this more thought. Pls chime in if you have an idea.
Not a single billionaire is acceptable.
Thankfully the rest of us literally outnumber them like 1,000,000:1 so they stand no chance when we fight together - even imperfectly 🌅
If you’re not gay and/or don’t want to hear about grindr, keep scrolling.
Bit of a (perhaps “no duh”) PSA: They look to be SUPER manipulative. For one, I’ve had a friend tell me there are very few tops in the Boston area. I’m like hello 🙋
but also seeing very few bottoms. We’re each shown profiles of people who are mostly incompatible with us 🤦
I imagine just enough to keep users interested and feeling like conxion is right around the corner - if we pay Grindr or stay 🧑💻 a little longer. Boo
Like a lot of people, I have an iPhone for the time being (until my next phone). I’m so curious to learn about the different automations /shortcuts people have made. Mainly bc there is so much unused potential that I haven’t been taking advantage of. Please share if you’d like!
I'm trying to streamline and simplify my approach to media for most days, include various perspectives.
If you hail from a place outside the U.S. then would you be willing to share a news source or two that you look at fairly often?
I've got Canada covered pretty well. Mx, too. Same goes for Australia, Japan, Spain, the UK - but feel free to comment.
Popular sources? Reliable reporting? Indigenous perspective?
I appreciate your contribution here. And ty for the boosts!

If you’ve been tracking your diet, trying to estimate how much __ you consume, can you recommend an app for this?
I would try proton but it looks like we can’t make use of spreadsheets on mobile. Boo(sts appreciated)
“It might be the most popular action taken by a politician in the history of America.”
ArguablySomaya on Zohran’s opportunity to soar even higher. Because he has a mandate. Arrest Netanyahu (legality aside) and extradite him to the ICC - because it’s right and because the people will ✨ LOVE ✨ it.

This might be a different thing, but do we have a term for images generated with “AI”? It’s not LLM, is it? (I think of LLM as speech/text, not visual output)
Working on my Spanish. Are these two sentences both right?
¿Necesita que vaya alguien a su casa?
¿Necesita que alguien vaya a su casa?
I’m only given the first one as a translation, but coming from English, I guessed the second.
If it matters, can you think of a way to remember this? Does Spanish generally keep the verbs close to each other?
A huge number of people are disabled. Even if we’re not (we don’t need glasses, we don’t have schizophrenia,…) it’s worth keeping the topic in mind. At the very least because you can join the club at any moment.
The best people I know have a disability. At least one. I feel conflicted about using the term “disability pride” myself, but certainly disability isn’t a thing to be ashamed of.
