A Mexican taqueria in my neighborhood has an excellent name:

"Local Dealer"

@markmetz There’s a monkey’s paw quality to this list: reading, but it’s Jordan B Peterson; foreign languages, but it’s Japanese to understand the plot of his favorite hentai; gardening, but it’s growing weed; and so on.

@UkeleleEric I'm trying to get a handle on what each platform's "personality" is, or is perceived to be. So far the answers (keep the frogs, ditch the politics) match my intuitions.

I created this Mastodon account 2 years ago when I quit Twitter. I just recently created a Bluesky account. Which of my toots do you think belong on Bluesky, and which should stay here?

@Twirrim I'm going to store this anecdote away for future reference. Someone once told me that elevator algorithms are surprisingly difficult. It's exactly the kind of problem that looks simple on a surface level, but gets more complex as you dive into the details.
