Passing on this message from Camilla, a PM on @github.com ’s Maintainer Love team:
If you could wave a magic wand, what is the #1 feature you'd want us to ship? No idea is too tiny - the smallest changes often have the biggest impact.
Bluesky error message in a red banner reading “Not enough resources”
Relatable, though.
Read an article this morning about how Allbirds is pivoting to become an AI company and goddamn if a company turning from eco-friendly shoes to water- and power-guzzling AI doesn't feel like a metaphor for this entire era
It’s not every day I see one that’s just a straight-up “oh what the hell is THIS now?”
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
*their assets or *it sold. 🤦♂️
You have nothing to worry about. They sold off all of its assets and this is a Kodak-esque stock pump.

The jersey used by the Dodgers to retire Jackie Robinson’s iconic No. 42 in 1972 is preserved in the Hall of Fame’s collection.
Today, every MLB player will wear 42 in celebration of Jackie’s legacy.
As those who remember the heady “Add .com to literally anything and watch the stock shoot up instantly” days of the early aughts can attest, this is totally normal and healthy and sustainable.

Ooooh, Jeff Passan‘s new #baseball #podcast, “Sources Tell Jeff Passan,” is out today! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...
I started Taskmaster’s “New Year Treat” special in January and loved it (thanks @hotdogsladies.bsky.social and @snell.zone!). Last week I watched the first episode of S21.
But today I learned that one of my favorite cast members from SNL UK, Ania Magliano, is in S20, so now I must watch that, too.

Absolutely brutal outing by Crochet.

If I was #MLB commissioner, every day there would be games in each of the major time slots: 1, 4, 7, and 10 p.m. ET (or thereabouts).
I know it's tough having a day game after a night game, but day games are great and it spreads games out, allowing fans to watch more games each day!

Lord, I’ve seen what you’ve done for others..
Be funny if Usha was like “how’d the trip go?”
Geez, NESN, get your act together.
Literally every complaint I have about the NESN score bug is addressed in this version. Not mentioned in my list of complaints: having Red Sox be red when they’re facing a red opponent. Clearly the best option (which is in the MLB score bug) is using blue so the colors are different.
The official MLB (?) score bug is so much better though!
Literally as I composed this post, NESN changed to a better score bug. Is this the official MLB one? It is so much better. #RedSox #BOSvsSTL
I hate the new, huge NESN score bug so much. So many terrible features: huge team logos AND abbreviations, inability to identify if the bases are loaded or empty, no ABS challenge indicators, terribly small print (and poor contrast) for batter/pitcher data, and, of course, the obnoxiously large ads.
High school students in Model U.N. could probably do a better job negotiating than these stunods.
That is a baller move! I need to consider this for my bedroom.
Bonkers double challenge (non-ABS) in #BOSvsSTL game.
Call on field is hit by pitch. Red Sox challenge; it is overturned and (I believe) called a strike.
Cardinals then challenge saying it should be catcher’s interference. Call is overturned AGAIN and is confirmed catcher’s interference. 🤯 #MLB
