Just bought a whole bunch of samples from @subsocials in YRR - stoked to make some beautiful weird things with them.

I got tired of trying to decipher scammy listings on Amazon from sketchy drop shippers so figured I’d try Aliexpress directly.

It was a wayyy better shopping experience. Longer shipping but cheaper price. And I have more faith in the sellers.

There's much more to the Capital Daily story. Sources say staff were sometimes asked to blur the lines between advertising and editorial, even promote the boss' company in editorial content. The news staff pushed back, and a week later they were fired.

I need to make a simple account system for a static single page app. Super low traffic. Dozens of accounts. My dream would be somewhere I can run SQLite and a Ruby server for $5 a month or less. Does that exist?

I loved this podcast about Eugene Debs, father of socialism in the USA. Principled and charismatic. Bernie Sanders’s hero. He even got 1MM votes for president back in the day. Is there anyone like him today? https://t.co/T53Cn6hbbJ

Amazing story and photos of Kitsault, BC, a beautifully preserved ghost town from the early 80s that was only inhabited for a year. Awesomely reported by my favourite journalist ⁦@j_mcelroy⁩ https://t.co/pmEnHSVrh8

@jamiemccue_ How do you keep it from floating away?

[Alex D @MrMrBug]

@rejuvepedia Woah, yep. In 1988ish. Year 3 I think in Mt Lawley. Are you the Chris I played Ghostbusters with?!
