Oh, wow. I've made 1,065 in July alone! My 7-month average (from January 2024 through today) is 811/month.

Oh no. Did you say ND? 👀

They really need to talk to Mary!

I'm looking for one that allows handwriting to text, if anyone knows of one.

I think you're talking about "at-will" employment, which allows the employer or employee to terminate employment for no reason at any time. Only Montana doesn't have that (unfortunately for the rest of us), and employers must show good cause for termination after a set probationary period. "Right-to-work" means that you can't be required to join a union or pay fair share fees as a requirement of employment. 26 states have this on the books.

I live in a state with both laws, and it sucks as much as you'd imagine... (mainly because it's fairly indicative of other issues throughout the state).

They mention that in the article, in passing. "WIRED, for context, lists 164 partners."

Processional: "She's the One" by World Party for groom and family, "Book of Love" by Peter Gabriel for bride. It ended up being perfectly timed, because I was able to sing the last verse to my favorite person when I got to him (which is about wanting to give each other wedding rings)

Recessional: "Ugly Day" by Five Iron Frenzy

It's a bit of a confusing history. The AT Protocol for decentralization was a side project of Twitter that later spun off, grew, and became Bluesky.

With Pebble shutting down already, I'm going to stick with Beehaw where it ends up. The ethos around discussion and understanding is the reason I have this account.

We switched to Duo, too. Making that plan unlimited was the las barrier to my spouse jumping aboard the Kagi train. We're in for the yearly Duo sub as of this evening!

This is all I'm waiting for to make the switch...

I've been using StoryGraph since it came around and really enjoy it. I've looked at BookWyrm, but I haven't considered switching yet.

The article mentions the WaPo connection to Amazon and its board, as they should, but I'm surprised to see this particular topic there, too.

This particular paragraph is disingenuous in its characterization of what's going on with Reddit, though:

There was also a concern that any major changes to the platform could scare people away. One former employee compared Goodreads to Reddit, an 18-year-old internet forum where users are revolting because of modifications to the site. “People feel like they can’t anger the community,” the former employee said.
