Here’s the full original comic page of the map:

This is from an online comic called Stand Still, Stay Silent. Year 0 is the year, well, the year everything changed for the Nordic countries.

It’s a gorgeous story, for any who might be interested!

Oh no. Did you say ND? 👀

They really need to talk to Mary!

I’m looking for one that allows handwriting to text, if anyone knows of one.

I think you’re talking about “at-will” employment, which allows the employer or employee to terminate employment for no reason at any time. Only Montana doesn’t have that (unfortunately for the rest of us), and employers must show good cause for termination after a set probationary period. “Right-to-work” means that you can’t be required to join a union or pay fair share fees as a requirement of employment. 26 states have this on the books.

I live in a state with both laws, and it sucks as much as you’d imagine… (mainly because it’s fairly indicative of other issues throughout the state).

They mention that in the article, in passing. “WIRED, for context, lists 164 partners.”

I recommend Pati Jinich’s recipes for anything she makes. She has both a flour and a corn tortilla recipe.

Processional: “She’s the One” by World Party for groom and family, “Book of Love” by Peter Gabriel for bride. It ended up being perfectly timed, because I was able to sing the last verse to my favorite person when I got to him (which is about wanting to give each other wedding rings)

Recessional: “Ugly Day” by Five Iron Frenzy

It’s a bit of a confusing history. The AT Protocol for decentralization was a side project of Twitter that later spun off, grew, and became Bluesky.

With Pebble shutting down already, I’m going to stick with Beehaw where it ends up. The ethos around discussion and understanding is the reason I have this account.

Before starting my own personal one, I used ones run by @Stux, mstdn.social and masto.ai. He has another one that’s based around coffee lovers, too: mastodon.coffee. They’re pretty laid back servers!

This is all I’m waiting for to make the switch…

I love it so much. And the crab is their little fren, and they go out riding on the open range together to gather flowers and pollen. Best buds.

I thought it was going okay: I got 6 hours of sleep (unheard of!), I woke up on time, and work was moving along smoothly. But then… my cat got sick and a not-beloved coworker decided to be annoying, so I hit a snag for a while there. I’m back at it again, having survived the issue with my cat AND the co-irker, and the day is starting to look up again. Here’s hoping that the trend continues up tomorrow…

I like Liftoff enough that I’ve stopped looking at every new thing that is coming out.

I’m currently preferring either the mobile web or Liftoff. Liftoff has really surprised me with how slick and easy it’s been to jump onto. I still have Jerboa on my phone to see how it progresses over time.

Beeple!

I haven’t seen one in years, and I miss them so much.

I’ve been using StoryGraph since it came around and really enjoy it. I’ve looked at BookWyrm, but I haven’t considered switching yet.

The article mentions the WaPo connection to Amazon and its board, as they should, but I’m surprised to see this particular topic there, too.

This particular paragraph is disingenuous in its characterization of what’s going on with Reddit, though:

There was also a concern that any major changes to the platform could scare people away. One former employee compared Goodreads to Reddit, an 18-year-old internet forum where users are revolting because of modifications to the site. “People feel like they can’t anger the community,” the former employee said.
