@darius The JSON says there are seven dogs with that name, which seems... surprising. (No humans with that name though.) docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d

@darius That's a real honor! It's a great album, my favorite track is probably the cover of Charles Mingus's "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" at 10:00 here youtube.com/watch?v=9nusv6nLWx

I’m taking some time offline, belatedly celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and still basking in the afterglow of the final XOXO, but I wrote a bit about releasing the XOXO talks last week, my approach to booking speakers, and the themes that emerged in our final year. waxy.org/2024/10/the-xoxo-2024

Kind of Bloop is getting a surprise vinyl edition for its 15th anniversary this week, the weird little chiptune album that sparked a big legal fight, but also led to meeting @andymcmillan and starting @xoxo together. Preorders start Saturday 9am PT. waxy.org/2024/08/kind-of-bloop

I just caught a scammer! I listed an old couch for free on Craigslist, and some guy responded right away saying he wanted it. He kept changing the pickup times (not that unusual for CL) but then said he was on his way. At the time he was supposed to arrive, he said he couldn't pick it up after all. "Hey, so we couldn’t pick this up so we ended up finding someone to pickup, just charged them a finders fee. We told them they could pay us after it’s picked up through Venmo / Zelle!" What? No. [1/2]

Ill Doctrine is back! After six years away, Jay Smooth is back to making regular videos, starting with this thoughtful look at how the internet and social media changed rap beefs. youtube.com/watch?v=SxcnTVEntE

This is it, the last XOXO ever. Really proud of this launch lineup, and I love the website @ashur and @emicab made for it. So fun! xoxo.zone/@xoxo/11248071401403

Just popping in to say that Phanpy is my new favorite Mastodon web app. The way it handles threads, alt-text, quote-tweets, drafts, trends, grouped notifications, etc... So much better than anything else I've used, including Elk. Fully customizable layout, multiple accounts. (Even works well as a PWA on mobile.) Give it a try. phanpy.social/

@darius if you know anything about York, recommendations welcome, I’ve already gone to York Emporium and Central Market so fully exhausted my ideas

@darius @lmorchard Yeah, but I didn’t get great results because I already see most everything from everyone I follow. I’d presumably have to create a separate account following a couple thousand people (at least) to start seeing anything new.

There’s also Feditrends, which aggregates results using the official trends API on a bunch of big instances. feditrends.com/ github.com/feditrends/trending

@darius @muffinista ha, I did do something similar with promoted tweets back in the day, targeting an ad solely to @anildash (thought the tweet embeds are apparently busted on medium). medium.com/message/stupid-tric but doesn't sound like what you're looking for
