Felled by sickness from a covid booster I got yesterday, but taking the day off got me a nice chance to see pretty sunset vibes in Central Park

So a horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Why the long face?"

(gets me every time)
a horse is wearing a pair of gloves on its ears and says `` have a great day ! howdy ! ''

Good AI use case: Summarize artwork descriptions at museums! Especially if you're at a conceptual art museum that likes to hand out essays. 😵‍💫 Take a photo of it and ask to rewrite "in simple, plain English."

For extra fun: Ask to do it in a sassy tone or use a different format (sonnet, haiku)

Didn't expect that looking up that "when it gets dark, you can see the stars" adage would unearth an article delving into its 180-year etymology but here you go: quoteinvestigator.com/2015/01/19/s...

The historian was Charles A. Beard; his words were later amplified by Dr. King in the early 1960s

YOOHOO. Was having dinner conversations with my 🇬🇧 husband talking early old 90s films and "Encino Man" (1992) came up. Did you know in the UK it was titled "California Man" instead? (presumably because no one knew where Encino was)

this this this 👇
a simple rule for contributing to community is this:

give/do nice things that people want, freely, with no expectation of anything in return. repeat.

answer a question, crack a joke, give a complement, review a work, share something cool, share a story, whatever resonates with you at the time
I'm not gonna line but I feel imposter syndrome a bit around here. The data community (i.e., #datatwitter aka #dataBS) is so freaking cool.

The amount of knowledge and insights they share is tremendous! And love all of it.

Which brings me to the question of "how do I contribute to the community?"

I love when I'm investigating weird data issues by searching dbt Slack and I stumble on supercute 2019 threads with @drewbanin.bsky.social / jerco / claire / @tayloramurphy.dad about things like what happens with snowflake mfa + running threads: 4; we were all such sweet summer children back then ☀️

PSA: really easy to change your bsky username from *.bsky.social to something else if you already own a domain! Thanks @mk.gg 🫶

1. Settings > Advanced > Change handle > I have my own domain
2. Go to your domain provider & copy that stuff into your DNS settings. Less scary than it sounds, I promise

China is adding twice as much wind and solar as every other country put together — including enough solar to power all of Australia — and is rapidly rolling out electric vehicles.

Its emissions are poised to decline this year despite rising power demand.

another "wow, chatgpt is awesome" moment.

i couldn't remember the name of a specific stretching exercise, and google was zero help. so i described it to chatgpt, i.e. "arm goes there, other hand goes there, head tilts this way"

chatgpt understood right away and told me the exercise's name!

What I've figured out so far:
* If you use the [gif] button when drafting a post, it works (loads gifs from Tenor)
* It you try to upload a gif via the picture 🖼️ button it's not animated
