My roommate saw me put more cheese onto a frozen pizza & it was like I unlocked something in him. I saw the wheels turning as he realized we don't have to settle for the default amount of cheese the pizza overlords offer us. What goes onto the frozen pizza is in our control. We have the power.

Notice is Hereby Given, our Follower:Followers count is currently out of balance. If you're not Following us (by now), we figure you never will, and so we're going to take a serious look at all this. Seriously. Currently looking. #dataforgood #youshallperceiveme #towncrierfortheW #mozzarellasticks

Another day, another #TGIF post wherein we ask ourselves Q: Was it right of TGI Friday's to get SO very angry with Chili's new menu items! Can't we all just enjoy #mozzarellasticks in peace? #youshallperceiveme #tgifridays #chillis #dataforgood

@ryankturnbull.bsky.social I'm taking a guess that some of your fellow #Winnipeg enthusiasts might also be of the #dataforgood ilk... Would a share be in the cards? >> www.meetup.com/data-for-goo...

To 'dash' or not to 'dash', that is the question. @dataforgood.bsky.social, feel free to weigh in here. Q: What inspired you to go with the 'dash' vs. the 'underscore', as per your previous socials identity incarnations? Inquiring minds want to know. #dataforgood #upatnightwondering

The #mcbarge could have been turned in to an Interceptor, before turning in to river garbage, itself. #showerthoughts
Shoutout to our local operators who keep Interceptor 019 (Bangkok, #Thailand) running!

Take that @dataforgood.bsky.social! We have now surpassed you in terms of #BlueSky followers. However, you seem to still be gaining some, here and there... Is this playful "calling out" strategy, backfiring? We may yet still have to find that #lostpassword #dataforgood
