@thatwriterellie Welcome! Hope you enjoy yourself. Will check your writing out when I have a chance!

@evan I m not technical but my rudimentary knowledge of Activity Pub and ATProto makes me wonder what would be the benefits of either one?

@evan @aeva

Don't worry - there is plenty of pizza for everybody!

@evan @aeva

Don't forget tavern style pizza and malört!

Chicagoan here - we also have suprisingly good Mexican as well. Apparently we have really great tamales. The immigrant flow from Mexico here is surprisingly old. The food is probably not like the West Coast or Southwest but it is a surprise.

I also think we have some really good Arabic / Middle East pockets. Labnais is the best Middle Eastern food I have had in the US.

(Full Disclosure - I am vegetarian so my options at many of these places is a bit limited. But always happy to talk about Chicago ❤️)

@skinnylatte I think you have described their new ad campaign. I want this on a shirt.

@petrillic @skinnylatte A chai tea latte? 🤢

@liztai @liztai I am sorry that you feel this way. It is understandable - as an American myself, even I get tired of the internet echo chamber dominated by our particular brand of innanity. For what it is worth, I am grateful for your opinions, ideas, and views here. You have challenged me to think about topics differently (like AI as a conversation partner for example) NF given me a long list of K Dramas and C Dramas to watch eventually.

@bruces So funny you mentioned this. I was walking through my neighborhood in #Chicago yesterday and saw these posters.

@BBCRD @BBCRD I am glad to hear from you, but sad to see that it seems like goodbye.

My two cents is that your experiment would have been better if a) bbc.social was a vwrified handle for BBC journalists posting here and b) instead of doing individual channels like Radio 4, accounts for individual programs would have helped those accounts find their niches. A seperate account for a show like "The Climate Question" would have found its people.

Hope you all come back soon.

Stopped at a very well regarded local bakery in #Chicago. I have never been crazy about it but I could not figure out why. Today when I stopped in for a coffee it hit me - all of their baked goods use the same exact dough. It is good for some things but does not work for others. They all have a distinct yeasty taste. Is this a common thing at a bakery?

@thebeeguy

Honestly I have a deep childhood fear of bees but your posts have helped make me a but less afraid. Now with my toddler, I try to be less fearful and more curious so he doesn’t have the same fear. Thank you 🙏

@grumpasaurus @skinnylatte And the WhatsApp ones, too….

Which is why the only source of information I trust is @lowqualityfacts…

A nice way to cap off the week. A Berliner Weisse from Dovetail Brewery in #Chicago. One of my favorite variety of beer from one of my favorite places in the city. Perfect for summer.

According to the promotional blurb, Napoleon’s troops called in the “Champagne of the North” when they marched through the Germanies.

This was was “mit schuss” or with blackberry bitters. One of the best drinks I have had in a long time!

@pdfarranger

Hope you get this solved! I just wanted to just drop you a quick line to say that I discovered your app for Fedora a few weeks ago and it is seriously awesome! Thanks for all your hard work :)

@Sheril Heard such good things about it. “Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel” is one of the most memorable books I’ve ever read.

@Thumper1964 I remember when I read it for the first time and I thought this could make a good Tarantino movie 😂

I am not a Mom but as a new Dad, this hit me much, much, MUCH harder than I expected….

@StorieswithaWill

Thanks! As I said, it was my first attempt at a collection. I think I might make the title a bit more descriptive - something like "Solarpunk Creatives and Practitioners."
