Oh, wow. I've made 1,065 in July alone! My 7-month average (from January 2024 through today) is 811/month.

That makes more sense, because it's also the Kama Sutra. Karma's got nothing to do with.

Oh no. Did you say ND? 👀

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).

The video mentions how "y'all" has become a more nationwide word due to its usefulness.

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

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.

We switched to Duo, too. Making that plan unlimited was the las barrier to my spouse jumping aboard the Kagi train. We're in for the yearly Duo sub as of this evening!

Minnesota, hands down. I enjoyed all the other Midwestern states I have lived or do live in, but I really want to move back to MN for the gorgeous natural beauty. My home state of IL is beautiful, especially along the river road in west central and southwest IL.

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'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.
