I'm a sucker for weird and esoteric tags, like these word squares someone has been writing in our neighborhood lately. Each square is a type of acrostic that can be read horizontally or vertically. For example:

T R U S T
R A N C H
U N D E R
S C E N E
T H R E E

#SFGraffiti #WordSquare #Tagger #SanFrancisco #acrostic

A trash can where a tagger has written the words: mind, idea, neat, data
A section of sidewalk where a tagger has written a word square. This can be read horizontally or vertically and it says: Heart, ember, abuse, resin, trend.
A tag on the wall that says: feast, earth, armor, stone, threw. Each word is written above the other word in clear columns, so the words can be read vertically or horizontally.

Still on the #WordPress <=> #Mastodon front, it feels powerful to give readers the alternative to reply with comments on a post using either WP or Mastodon. Hat tip: @michael

@paulrickards thank you for this awesome plot.
Should I try it on my #commodore SX64?

Celestia is a wonderful piece of free software. Its absence from the usual software managers is baffling. Simulating an #eclipse from any viewpoint is so easy!

I think the elephant in the room right now around #AI is that it reflects a divergence away from creativity’s symbiotic relationship with technology.

For decades, creativity and technology made one another better. Now tech companies have found a new, cheaper hotness. And it could get ugly.

I love the nerdy humor of NASA engineers. This is on the mount of the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft.

I can't believe #KatamariDamacy is 20 years old. Time to dust off the soundtrack.

I've given some serious thought to creating a #Mastodon server just for the sake of merging this account to the #ActivityPub instance bridging my #Wordpress blog to the #Fediverse. It just feels such a burden to maintain all that just for the sake of presenting a clean, single entity on Mastodon.

It's off to a great cinematic year with Poor Things. Visually stunning, conceptually fascinating, delightfully strange and whimsical. Go see it, be open to be positively shocked.

A revamped version of the Adventures Di Pinocchio, which will soon be up for grabs. I had a blast reading this aloud, in fact I think it would be great to find #bilingual readers who would like to recite parts of it.

Always nice when the security bug you encountered while migrating to a new #thunderbird hasn't been fixed since it was opened 3 years ago... 🤦‍♂️

It didn't take much before Livia discovered her own website. I am wondering what will happen when she'll visit it...

I like to call it Xitter because in #Portuguese it sounds "shitter".
