A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
in addition to being the Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May, today is also Towel Day
and so, in honor of Douglas Adams - the man who figured out the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything - here is why you should always carry a towel
My youngest son made his first solo flight.

Wow. Really impressed by the print speed of my new @bambulabglobal.bsky.social A1. So easy to set up and great user experience. Awesome stuff.
Done
My target is 20%
Given recent events my #newyearsreolution is to go #mariekondo on who I follow one the various social media platforms. Key decider will be wether following this account "Sparks joy"
I think as a whole anything on Social media is very unimportant. We seem to have not learned from Facebook, Twitter etc. in that reacting to these people makes them more important than they are.
Yes, those are opinions that are very far from my own.

The end result
Mission accomplished. Fixed the power button of my sons iPad.
Just follow bsky.app/profile/list...
The accounts I block are accounts I don't want to interact with because of the content on their account not because who they follow. I'm couldn't care less about who blocks me.
Correct. What is your point?
That makes it even more bizarre.
So true
Notification that I have been put on the "Brianna Wu followers" block list.
How interesting. This is a first for me. I'm being put on a #block-list for following @brianna.bsky.social. I'm following a lot of interesting people on Bluesky, not because I agree with everything they say, more because of the fact that they are interesting.

No judgment here
#NoDemUnder1k though I don't live in the US we'll still be feeling the fallout of the Trump presidency.
Thanks @bsky.app this is awesome. I just set this up for myself.

Love this.
I used to think the bit in the 4th Hitchhiker’s Guide book about the lizards who rule everybody but are democratically elected and so no one can ever unseat them because it’s always a choice between two lizards was over the top but I get it now.
god this reddit post absolutely fucking got me
