This will never cease to amaze me.
”The Old Stockholm telephone tower was a metallic structure built to connect approximately 5,500 telephone lines in the Swedish capital of Stockholm. Constructed in 1887, the tower was used until 1913. It was damaged by a fire in 1952 and demolished the following year.”

How Twitter Changed the World in 25 Tweets - https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/02/10/opinion/twitter-all-time-tweets.html
Its one of those days where I did so much API blah blah blah I can't even utter the acronym and need to read a book.
Stories aren’t fiction. Stories are fabric. They’re the white sheets we drape over our ghosts so we can see them. - Other Birds, Sarah Addison Allen
Interesting phrase a friend just taught me - AI pollution.
My wife is amazing at taking dishes i loathed eating in the 70s and 80s and making them wonderful and things I enjoy—things like Salisbury Steak, Sloppy Joes, Frito Pie.
All the AI generated images online is making me want to get offline and go to an art gallery. I don’t trust anything I see online now and feel it all lacks soul.

"Twitter was the most important API. Up until the end of 2022 I was ready to fight for it, but I am fully captivated by the power of the #Fediverse now. While I don’t think all the mainstream people will move to #Mastodon, I am tired of rebuilding on someone else’s platform. I want my next round of work to occur on my platform. The people’s platform. I am not worried about reaching same scale + scope that Twitter, Facebook + others have. I am just looking for my people"

I will not be constrained by your lack of imagination.
Every time I drive to the office I grab a handful of change for the meter and leave the rest on this post. It never gets taken. It is downtown Berkeley.
