I love this #yoyo video by Fabian Adhi today and wanted to share it around. Rad tricks and nice editing. I can't wait to see more of Fabian's vids.

Looking through some old posts on my site and noticing a bunch of twitter embeds are broken. It's probably due to Twitter.com forwarding to x.com, but it's oddly inconsistent. Some old tweets still display, others don't. Even stranger, I'm unable to see some of the tweets when I'm not signed in. For example, I can see this post if I'm logged in, but it says "this post has been deleted" when I'm incognito mode. https://x.com/DocPop/status/1531128882115424257 I'd be sad if that old content isn't viewable anymore.
@docpop A long time ago I replaced all the Twitter embeds I used by screen captures of these tweets, or you can archive them, if you still need a link. But indeed, it's usually not "native" anymore (and access is restricted by Privacy Badger, too)
@cybeardjm I should do that, but it would take so much work to go through all those posts, so I only fix them as I encounter them.
I actually paid for a service that automatically searches WP sites for Twitter embeds and replaces them with screenshots.... but the day I tried using it was the same day Twitter shut down it's API. Terrible timing on my part, I wish I had tried it a day earlier.
@topher1kenobe honestly, I'm not positive I have seen the first one. They played a bunch of clips from it at the Alamo Drafthouse before Furiosa began. None of the clips looked familiar. I'm going to have to find a place to watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnfAa9i9LYM
I’ve been in a funk lately, but I feel like I’ve really been crushing it today with my current project. I’m celebrating with a peanut butter jelly filled donut at Dynamo while working on the last two scripts. If I keep up the pace, I’m going to reward myself by playing Braid tonight.
@evan hi Evan, I'd love to reach out to you about a project I'm working on. I sent a DM, but wanted to drop a public note here in case the DM went to spam or something.
@katieonviolin the SF Small Business Coalition is spreading the myth that Valencia has the "first bike lane in San Francisco". The SFSBC are a driver-advocacy group fighting improvements to Slow Lake St, Valencia, 17th, and other streets. Their short-term goal is to have no bike lanes on Lake and revert the Valencia St bike lanes back to the unprotected (unenforced) lanes it used to have. So they are re-writing history to try to make fit their needs.
I really enjoyed the new episode of PJ Vogt's Search Engine podcast. I particularly liked hearing @caseynewton's thoughts on how "building out the fediverse" can help save the web from devouring itself. The segment is about 53 minutes into the episode and does a pretty good job of explaining the #fediverse in simple terms. https://overcast.fm/+BBVQTfeXl4/53:12
Emily Hopkins has some rad new merch on her store. I really dig these "Pedal Chain Necklaces". https://www.emilyharpist.com/shop#EmilyHopkins is most known for her fun youtube videos, where she experiments with running her harp through various guitar pedals.
If SEO no longer mattered, would websites change much? Would we see experiments with site layout, or would sites keep using the layout that has become standard today?
@docpop
Very interesting question, now that Google and the main social media sites are beginning to show signs of weariness among users.
I guess the web would be more beautiful, without flash, but like it was those days. CSS has made huge progress. The interactive web (blogs with comments) is kind of disappearing, and among developers everybody seems to be talking about Astro. So I guess the static, "Web 1.0", is about to come back, one way or another.
This driverless Waymo came to a full stop in the bike lane ahead of us, even though there was plenty of space in the passenger loading zone a few feet away. I waited to see if the Waymo would ever pull into the loading zone, but I got tired of waiting after 5 minutes. #SanFrancisco#Waymo#Robotaxi
@otte_homan@obviousdwest based on other interactions I've seen, I don't think it would notice a quick interaction. There are human operators that can get involved remotely when needed, but I don't think they get involved unless there is an ongoing problem. So a quick tap probably won't get them, you'd have to stand there for a while to get a human connected or get the car to interact with you.
