I am, as ever, on Mastodon. @[email protected]

@laten_c @oldroadside yep, twitter broke the API. you may have seen the site came under new ownership last year? and ruined a bunch of stuff?

[Parker Higgins @xor]

@isolinearchip_ @oldroadside it did not survive the new Elon-era API rules, alas. It's still posting on Mastodon: https://t.co/TLRVTIw4S1 and Bluesky: https://t.co/jM1TYQcWCN

[Parker Higgins @xor]

@giteaio @Tailscale it is! may be slower to respond due to DoD but would love to hear more

[Parker Higgins @xor]

@MLBguardians @HelpFriendBot yep, unfortunately it used an api elontwitter discontinued. it was running off-label for months but I don't think there's a way for it to work in the new system. the mastodon port mostly works! still fixing it up

[Parker Higgins @xor]

@MrChrisP yeah, the issue is that there is a song called Timber https://t.co/NHMG2W8oYD and https://t.co/nUNVuAgwBl expects the regular one to be called "Timber (Jerry the Mule)" which is not how @Phish_FTR tweet it. Probably worth hardcoding that one though

[Parker Higgins @xor]

@AriDubLion not AI, I wrote the bot, it does not aim to replace dot net (and in fact, as clearly stated, pulls all its data from there)

there's a bug where sometimes .net updates faster than _ftr and so when the bot asks for the current gap it reports 0 shows. patches welcome

@stellaphone @thatcrypticguy @ckstern @efrex renamed that old tab and it ran fine. API availability still a hanukkah miracle for now. I suspect repeats are probably not worth writing more code for, right?

[Parker Higgins @xor]

@stellaphone @thatcrypticguy @ckstern @efrex oh actually it is not that! The issue is that the spreadsheet already has a tab labeled SWEDEN (because that was the contest in April '22) https://t.co/s2Fg8z0GTr

[Stella Zawistowski @stellaphone]

Time to take a trip to Scandinavia for the #crypticcluecontest! Reply (don't quote tweet) with a clue for SWEDEN and like your favorites. Most likes wins!

i'm over on bluesky, if you want to say hi!

[Parker Higgins @xor]

i can't believe this

[Parker Higgins @xor]

Hey look, I made the Wednesday #nytxw! Very proud of this one—my solo debut in the Times. Hope you enjoy solving it!

Does anyone think global warming is a good thing? I love Lady Gaga. I think she's a really interesting artist.

[Parker Higgins @xor]

@thegridkid @NYTGames i would like to sign a petition to make her keep the hat

[Parker Higgins @xor]

@vogon 🫡 will update this thread

[Parker Higgins @xor]

@vogon I have been skittish to try because most flavored seltzers really repulse me, but i've heard good things. and ALSO about their spiked offering!

[Parker Higgins @xor]

ok so they mixed up the images. but it's still NOT FUNNY that this police officer ordered a cold refreshing sparkling water and it was served to him with a napkin in it

This is a Molotov Cocktail that was found at tonight’s protest. We are committed to ensuring everyone’s right to protest. Violence has no place in civic demonstration. These actions will never be tolerated & anyone bringing weapons or dangerous substances will be arrested.

[Parker Higgins @xor]

@vogon tangentially topo chico really is s-tier sparkling water though

[Parker Higgins @xor]

@realchefkirby ugh i should've starred more vowels instead of get them wrong

[Parker Higgins @xor]

@realchefkirby did you follow his feud in that era with aud*ban https://t.co/oIoLyPZKbU
