The domestic robot's lidar has detected evidence of a mirror universe.

So in the middle of the night my brain decided to wake me up for some anxiety. I grabbed my phone to find something nice to read to get back to sleep and the first thing I opened was Slack, where my brother, who has two elementary-school aged kids, had just posted this: "Evie just told us that she believes that she is controlled by dolls who are controlled by dolls who are controlled by dolls and so on. Elliot thinks we are in a video game, and he also believes in reincarnation." NOT HELPFUL

Had a big move today, and the movers are now gone and we're selling in and we just went up to our new roof deck and we were greeted with this site:

I tried giving my partner a home haircut and let's just say if you're looking for the perfect 90's haircut, I can (apparently) make that happen.

I don't think he was going for Zach from Saved by the Bell, though, so I might have to try some more trimming today.

Anyone else at getting 404's or "reconnecting.." messages when trying to enter the 2D world? I haven't made it in yet at all.

Looks like Amazon is retiring the Goodreads API, which just another step towards basically abandoning Goodreads and folding it into some other Amazon service I guess: joealcorn.co.uk/blog/2020/good

My advice? Get off Goodreads while you still can (ie export your content) and move over to StoryGraph: beta.thestorygraph.com

A black-owned startup finally developing a viable alternative to Goodreads. Fuck yeah!

(Why not LibraryThings? Because, guess what.. it’s also owned by Amazon!)
