@tml @anildash she’s great, has been putting out songs under various names (and in her prior group Chairlft) for many years, and has written for the likes of Beyoncé, but has been having something of a pop moment the last ~3 or 4 years.

@thebishopgame @anildash well, let’s start with Bjork

Gotta be sincere, I am *so* proud that, today, @glitchdotcom celebrates being 7 years old. It feels like our core mission of supporting the open web is more relevant than ever. Millions of devs have built tens of millions of apps, and we're investing in making the Glitch community even more vibrant for years to come. @jenn tells the story perfectly. https://blog.glitch.com/post/wow-glitch-is-7 If you have never had a chance to check it out, come join us — we're all building the good, open internet together.

@dailygrail @anildash oh I’m so sorry to hear it. Thanks for letting me know.

@timbray one would hope!

@Gargron yes, very much. It's all algorithmically induced.

Has anybody written about the near-ubiquitous online trend of bowdlerizing text, either to avoid being penalized by the algorithm (real or imagined) or to avoid content being searchable by others? We have people who communicate about "s*x" instead of "sex" and... that's probably a very bad thing.

@_chris_real Ask Marcy what she thinks of this kind of journalism — she'll tell you to support it. There is nothing noble in wanting important work to not be supported, or valuable labor to go uncompensated.

@_chris_real can't tell if you're too stupid to realize how wrong you are, or if you don't know what "free" means.

@Drarok @anildash yeah it’s a typo. Fixed, thanks!

The @letterman team just posted an anecdote about Prince's first appearance on the show — including how Dave seems to think Prince didn't like him. The truth, as always, is more complicated than that. And shows some ways in which Prince & Dave weren't so different. https://www.anildash.com/2024/03/11/prince-and-letterman/

@TheRealPomax @anildash I think they’re pigments but yeah it looked like wax to me

Just updated: Make Better Documents, a quick guide I wrote up with some tips on how to make your professional documents more effective. It covers many of the most common errors I’ve seen (or that I’ve _done_) and some suggestions on how to address them. I hope it’s helpful, and feel free to share your tips on what else could be included. https://anildash.com/2024/03/10/make-better-documents/ (Thanks to @waldoj for pointing out one bonus item I’d missed!)

We have saved the daylight!!!!
