follow count has dropped to 326 (having added one). which means 12. 7 of those in the past two weeks. wonder what happened

[Ahsan Kabir @aephemera]

Okay, as of right now, I follow 340 accounts, am followed by 74. (And I know that some of those 74 are abandoned or fake.)

It’ll be interesting to see how this changes over the next few months.

[Ahsan Kabir @aephemera]

Somewhat amazingly, neither my follower nor following count has changed in the past 17 months

[Ahsan Kabir @aephemera]

@blkprofcct @terrelljstarr it’s not a 1% increase. In 2020, 10% of blacks supported trump. In 2024, 20% supported trump. So he doubled his support, ie a 100% increase in share.

@CrankyOtter CA has another 10 million votes to report, WA and OR 2 million+. With those, the total will be about 2.5mill less than in 2020. You can see in states like NC/TX/GA there were more votes than in 2020, but NY has 700K fewer. Eastern blue states didn’t really show up for KH.

@jdeerhake @mattyglesias I’m ignorant. What would it be used for?

@amandawtwong It’s this kind of cutting edge humor I’m here for.

@CrankyOtter Works for me on iOS 18

@Noahpinion If you have a QFC card, you can see your past two years purchases, and eyeballing it since August 2022, sticker prices for my purchases have gone up in that time by 10–100%. I’ll pull together a spreadsheet one of these days.

@whstancil that's not true in Washington state, at least. here's Seattle's chart ($18.69 in 2024) of min wage over the past six years. https://t.co/Mjr4wCwtj7

McDonalds pays $19/h in Seattle, but I don't know if that's with benefits.

Men would rather spend $44 billion dollars on a social media site than go to therapy.

@KillerMartinis well I finally got around to getting the show catalogue through the library, and I don't see a piece that matches your description.

the closest I see is this figure pierced with coat hangers https://t.co/UPEufHiYJl

@sam_d_1995 i don't spend a whole lot of time in nyc, but don't the transit apps update faster to match the service changes?

or are New Yorkers familiar with their usual routes & stops that it would be faster to glance at the map?

@mattyglesias not only should you do a column on that, make it 5,000 words, in a tiny font.

@edwereddie the photographer is Bradley Patrick. here's a similar photo from his portfolio https://t.co/GGVF2Gc4nD

so she's either 56 or 42 in the photo, depending on when the shoot was (2018 or 2005, as I saw elsewhere)

@BrandonLive but even at that level, livestock would consume 76 times that in a year.

(of course, the amount of water livestock uses is an issue, too)

[Ahsan Kabir @aephemera]

@BrandonLive it's daily usage that will be more problematic. assuming 0.5 liters for a conversation, 200 million times a day, in a year that would use enough water for 96500 (average) households.
