Yeah that's totally on him

I moved to Kobo a little over a year ago and have no complaints.

I just tried to sign up to a newsletter on Substack and it had so many steps and THEN tried to make me finalise subscribing by downloading their app!!!

No idea if I'm even subscribed now.

My favourite is Jinu's Lament, but I wouldn't expect it to win best song.

Golden and Let it Go are anthemic and totally deserve their popularity.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Email Octopus is very nice and free for 2.5k subscribers/10k emails/month

Are you purposely trying to be a troll?

I said I doubted whether *future* demand would continue if users had to pay the actual costs.

It's basic consumer economics.

Again... it's massively subsidised.

It's massively subsidised. I doubt that a significant number of its current users would pay its real costs.

Has it though? There's a whole of of forcing AI onto consumers who either don't want it or don't want it in everything.

But the main reason why it very well might go back in the bottle is there's a limit to how much consumers will pay for it once it's no longer subsidised.

If you're in central Texas & you have room to house a shelter dog in a spare room Friday - Mon/Tues, area shelters would love your help getting dogs out of outdoor kennels and into homes for a brief break. You don't have to do a lot with them, just let them decompress while we wait out the weather.

Omg, this is gorgeous 😍

There's also a genuinely independent body that draws electorate boundaries and manages the process. So we don't get gerrymandering.

And we have preferential voting.

Those three things together mean that whoever wins our lower house tends to be elected by a majority of the population.

Technically Australia doesn't force people to vote, it requires people to show up to a voting booth.

You can choose whether to vote or not.

Also not turning up isn't heavily enforced and at most is a minor fine (if even given).

I think the only cure is full on surrender. When KPDH came out, the album was pretty much the only thing I listened to, on loop, for at least 4 weeks until the constant neeeeed to listen to it worked its way out my system.

I would absolutely love to buy a DVD set of the series. I've also just discovered it has a Cantonese dub so was planning on watching it again for that.

Watching 100 Days My Prince before it leaves Netflix at the end of the month.

It is so good - and not just for #kdrama fans. Definitely recommend making the time for it before it disappears.

I'm unfortunately still looking for work

I excel in the social, marketing, community, or customer support spheres, something where I get to work with people and make your company look good

I have experience in tech, fandom, art, games, and medicine!

Donor stem cells saved my husband's life.

It's so easy to be listed on the registry - it's just a cheek swab with a cotton bud.

I love this so much!

Gosh that's gorgeous 💙

I also wish there was more acknowledgement of how video platforms open you up to far more personal security risk than text based platforms. Even if you can do video and would be good on video, there can be very sensible reasons not to do video.

Cantonese too.

We can’t afford a $1M trailer slot 😔

But reposts on Bluesky cost $0 - and they really help tiny teams like ours ❤️

If cozy medieval creativity is your thing, here’s our Scriptorium trailer!

"Gambling Markets" doesn't quite have the same ring to it

Doodles for Hong Kong 🇭🇰

In response to the tragic Tai Po fire, I'm doing charity commissions. Anyone who puts over £25/250HKD into "Feeding Hong Kong" or Hong Kong SPCA can request a coloured doodle of any prehistoric animal 🙏

So damn awful that when HK and everyone connected to the city is mourning such a horrific tragedy, we're also having to defend our culture from misinformation and denigration, and very real risk that it will lead to further loss of our heritage.
