I was mostly joking, but, uh, "Toni Schneider, former CEO of WordPress parent Automattic."
He's not the guy who made everybody hate WordPress, is he?

Well, PE's in charge, only one way that ever goes. This time, Skeeters, start looking on how to set up Mastodon accounts _now_, before it all goes to hell.
Bluesky needs a new CEO who can unite the platform's diverse stakeholders and navigate its future growth while staying true to its founding ideals.
And the perfect candidate just happens to have an empty dance card right now.

I think there may have been some tampering before the legal window opened. #NFL
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, Iβd have two nickels, which isnβt a lot, but itβs weird it happened twice

There is no excuse for being on a platform owned by an actual nazi who spreads nazi shite all day every day. I'm amazed at the people I used to interact with who are still on there giving their all for Musk and his fascist app.
Vivaldi Mastodon server has been down most of the day because "q.get is not a function". Seems to be slowly catching up now.
Reminder: don't say PST, CST, or EST for the next eight months. They are not active time zones.
The humidity outside is 18%. Stupid Santa Anas.

Why did we play Igor against the Leafs in a game we want to lose and play Quick against the Devils in a game we want to win? #NYR
I give up, Claude is conscious. Ergo AI developers must face imprisonment or execution for performing medical experiments on their living slave.
Vincent Trocheck remains in a Blueshirt for the rest of the season. No need to move him unless the asking price was met. It wasn't met.
With the caveat that announcements can still be made for the next few minutes, it sure seems that Mark Stone gutting through an injury in the playoffs that he didn't in the regular season did in fact kill the #NHLTradeDeadline.
Also receiving votes: Hugh Grundy (Zombies, 81), Kiki Dee (Pauline Matthews, 79), Jaret Reddick (Bowling for Soup, Chuck E. Cheese, 54), and Tyler, the Creator (Tyler Okonma, 35).
Safe home, Dana Reeve, gone these 20 years.

For anyone who would like the clip (including George).
Did we bomb another elementary school, or is there just a second wave of people finding out about the first one five days later?
At home, no less. First regulation win at MSG since before Thanksgiving.
If anyone doubted if the #Leafs were done, #NYR put up six on them tonight. #NHL
