It turns out strict tracking protection was blocking some script loads. When I turned it off (from the shield in the URL) twitter loaded normally.

Did birdsite break for anyone else using Firefox?

I'm getting a bunch of CORS errors in the console and the page says "Something went wrong, but don't fret -- lets give it another shot"

I'm all for less animal cruelty, but this is a very dystopic way of putting it... "Li Wang, ..., the New Zealand-based company making the case for the robots, said they do cost four times more than normal dolphins but would last longer."

I was wondering something...

Does a butch dyke have the same gender as a femmy straight woman?

I saw this at work

At least there were some rainbows on my drive to a conference for work

It occurs to me that the advantage of a modern cookbook compared to a recipe blog post is you only have to wade through the writers life story once, at the start of the book, instead of at the start of every recipe.

"So he’s a weredog!"
