Dear Bluesky,
If I’m blocked by someone and I blocked them as well, they should not be allowed to put me on a list 😳🤦‍♂️
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Scott 😘

I was last night's years old when I learned that if you comment on someone else's post (skeet, whatever) here & then subsequently delete it ... the comment may still show up in that someone else's notifications ...

You make granola & are taking a pic & thinking about how often granola just isn't very photogenic
& pictures can't convey how it makes your kitchen smell like warm oatmeal cookies
& how ridiculously delicious it is
& how that's kind of a metaphor for other things ...
& also you heckin tired

A sheet pan lined with parchment paper & filled with granola sits on the stove top. There is a spoon in the corner of the pan where someone has scooped up some testing bites. The clock on the stove says 6:39

Hot AF but I still won't touch chatGPT

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Headline reads: Altman says ChatGPT will soon allow erotic for adult users.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)
