Great way to close @allthingsopen week: buy a pen 🖊️ from old friend @johns! Recommended stop for locals and visitors #AllThingsOpen

Bartender employing the very advanced "just kind of swirl the mixing glass around without using a spoon while walking around the bar" method of construction. Next level.

This happened entirely by accident but apparently John is now matching #FountainPen , ink, and...tea.

I would really like to know how/when Debian uninstalled wpasupplicant on this box, and how I didn't notice. This is up there with when Debian installed exim4 without me noticing and proceeded to silently swallow all of my outgoing mail for a week. But I love Debian.

Fire whomever failed to backronym the CHIPS and Science Act the CHIPS and SALSA Act

To my surprise, the Track Change podcast is not about document collaboration catastrophes.

Never thought I would have an opinion about club soda, but Food Lion is the worst club soda. All the other ones, probably fine.

I officially dislike the Sharpie S-Gel, which has managed to get ink on two pairs of pants on consecutive days, and on my notebook holder. And while it has a nice bold line, it's very fussy about paper and angle. Getting ink where it's not supposed to be is apparently not just a problem.
