@plex.tv please reconsider removing the watch together feature from your native apps. Your web app is not a substitute as there are formats which some browsers/platforms cannot direct play but which your native apps can. This will stop me from watching some shows with friends

A reminder of what Musk did to Twitter and an explanation of what he's doing to the US government. It's the same autocratic gameplan: slash, purge, break things. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/e...

When Musk bought Twitter, there were offers of paid exits, code reviews, eliminating of diversity programs, cutting of rent payments, and a reliance on staffers from his companies to enact his plans. All of that is playing out now in DC. Twitter was a blueprint. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/t...

As someone who went through an eerily similar episode of hostile takeover that also played out in public in real time, I want to tell all the fed workers, “I’m so sorry this is happening to you, I know how this feels.” And here are some of my learnings:

Just a warning about Casper mattresses: they do NOT hold up. I’ve had mine for just a couple of years and it was doing fine, but recently got into a Little Nemo-type situation and the bed broke up over the North Atlantic. Ended up needing a Coast Guard rescue and they laughed at my big nightshirt

I understand that some people still (for now) need X for bare bones promotional stuff but it's deeply embarrassing to see anyone I know posting there for fun

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood

Just saw Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Barbican and it’s an absolute hoot. Perfectly done, the kids were rapt from start to finish and loads of proper laughs. Apparently tickets are “from” £25; we paid more than that to sit in the upper circle, but that’s still a great view. Ends 18th Jan.

Sorry to do this all the time but I am afraid to make stuff these days you have to be a shameless self promoter — I have started a new show and it is out now, and there are bonus eps and whatnot you can sign up for. So if you can listen to it, that’d be amazing.

AI company: we trained this dog to talk. It doesn’t actually understand language, but it kinda sounds like it’s having a conversation by mimicking the sound of human speech. CEO: awesome, I’ve fired my entire staff, how quickly can it start diagnosing medical disorders

Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur." I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.

if you’re trying to find the people you follow on twitter, check out @kawamataryo.bsky.social’s www.sky-follower-bridge.dev it found a full 1/3 of the people i follow. impressive work by the developer, but also impressive to see that that many twitter people are setting up here.

Lots of people still don't know about this feature! It's very, very good. Reduces dunks and pile-ons, and hey, even just people being annoying or missing the point when they quote.

The biggest thing keeping bluesky from taking off is that the usernames are too short, legible, and intuitive. And, that I'm messaging all the new users I see the url to google street view of their house.
