a tub of fluff about to cover another tub of fluff to measure snow

in the city of Lynn, they’re using a tub of fluff to measure the depth of snow. because it’s snowed enough they’re adding a second tub of fluff. they claim β€œLynn, of course, the home of Fluff”, which means Somerville is about to enter a polar war with Lynn

local news reporters are being driven mad and performing science experiments in the snowstorm, including this woman mixing cups of cane sugar with Dunkin’s coffee in a bag to make ice cream

Listen, amid all this chaos I'm glad we can rely on some things. Like Market Basket being an absolute shitshow before a snow storm.

this is wild because i’m experimenting with local LLMs (Devstral) and it’s good, conservative, in a sense also free? or i could pay a tech corp to accidentally nuke my Vault from orbit. rare unambiguous W for OSS in that i can ask it to do less rather than more

querying the `app.bsky.actor.getProfile` lexicon but via GraphQL, kinda clunkily, but it makes it easy to get back a JSON representation of your own profile, and integrate with Relay/Apollo etc. among other things

messing around with bridging #ATProto to GraphQL, kinda fun to play with in GraphiQL #atmosphereconf
