Haven't posted here in 6 months b/c it feels like I found more people from the "bird app" on Threads. So here's some birds.

Has anyone used the Blackbird app at restaurants to pay?

About to use for first time tonight. Sounds like a crypto/blockchain hopefully not scammy thing in terms of how you earn loyalty points, but also will save restaurants on credit card fees. Started by dude who started Resy and Eater.

Enjoy your life to the extent that when you are at the grocery store the checker asks if you are having a party. 😃

Just read that Young Joni in Minneapolis is closing. 😭 One of my most favorite places in the year I spent working in the Twin Cities.

Didn't appreciate being accosted in the aisles by a rep trying to get me to sign up for a King Soopers credit card. Knock it off.

Put some grapes in the freezer for snacking, others in the fridge, and pickled some. If you haven't had quick-pickled grapes they are fantastic.

Wow. 58. Just saw this on Reddit. I know he had not been performing with the band but didn't expect to hear this.

Hearing some dude in Boulder on Pearl lit people on fire with gasoline and there are some with bad burns. WTF?!

I feel so fortunate to grow up with the OT and to still be watching amazing Star Wars content later in life. Andor season 2 was ridiculously good.

(Yes, we're rewatching Rogue One now at 9:30 pm.)

Anyone on here loving #Andor season two as much as us?

I finally got my MS meds refilled YESTERDAY after months of back and forth. 🤬

Primary copay assistance company for drug company had cyberattack last year, so when we had prescription/PA ironed out, it showed I no longer had co-pay assistance. Had to re-enroll with the drug company after 17 years.

@bethpartin.bsky.social Just realized you deleted your FB. I would do that except it is only contact I have with some people who are not on any other platform.

The Williams & Graham airport edition opened up at DIA and it is BRIGHT from the video posted. So don't be expecting the moody, dark Williams & Graham.

What is everyone making for Andor? We are doing Jet Juice a la Oga's in Mythosaur mugs.

Local pizza place was great for a few years then sold & have not been as good. They must have had the one person w/dough knowledge quit since they delivered crap tonight. Owner said their dough was not proofing right & offered to send out another. It was better but spongy & weird (versus crackery).

If you are going to have a table service food and wine event, tell your photographers to chill. I do not want people photographing me shoveling food into my mouth with every course. Take a few pix early and stop.

Tariffs make sour grapes for American winemakers American winemakers tell us why tariffs hurt their industry.

Tariffs on imports also hurts American wine industry. www.npr.org/sections/pla...

A lot of guys I work with were doing their taxes today (!) & one guy was completely unaware he needed to file state taxes for a non-resident state after working onsite for our customer in that state. 😐 Our company sends us separate W2s for the states we work in. He has been in consulting for years.

Cracks me up that Star Wars Night is subtitled "disneyland after dark" because Cinemax used to have "after dark" in the 80s and it was their soft core porn movies. 😃 I mean, is Mickey giving us a SHOW or what?!

We asked for a stroopwafel on United since we heard they were back and they did not have any on the plane. 🙁

Having a drink in a hotel where: Anna Nicole-Smith overdosed, Courtney Love was taken to hospital, and Harvey Weinstein allegedly committed some of his crimes.

Hard to believe it has been 30 years since the OKC bombing (as of the 19th). Better half worked a couple of blocks away.

Natl Geographic has new doc series following News 9 team, survivors, first responders. Reshowing on Disney + and Hulu.

I had a fun time there but agree the sugar rub is just not my thing.

I'm glad there are places for you and places for me and places for both of us in ten years when our tastes may have changed.

Maybe we will converge one day and I will buy you a $90 glass of wine or whatever it will cost.

I like offering up/hearing different opinions and debating top 10 lists and such, but people get so angry these days at strangers.

If every restaurant or chef catered to only one narrow profile of flavors and ingredients it would really suck.

Found out on another app that people really have FEELINGS about ketchup.

I love when people assume their preferences/palate are better than anyone else's when it's just an opinion influenced by the biology of tastebuds and olfactory powers.

The world would be boring if everyone were the same.

When we moved here a long time ago we kept hearing recs for Bastien's (also Beaujo's, so it was comparatively a bleak time). I get that old places/dives can be fun, but for me, that sugar steak is really disappointing for people to be regularly telling tourists to make a special trip there.

Inclined to not read anything online today since our daily reality in the US is far more surreal than scenarios any April Fools' Day jokester could come up with.
