    I’ve been on open-source federated social network Mastodon for about five years but rarely post. I checked in occasionally but it was always sleepy.

    The format CNN used for their climate change townhall meetings tonight really worked well. I’d like to see them continue this instead of emphasizing fractious debates.

    I had over 150 articles saved in Instapaper, so, rather than picking up a new book, I decided to hunker down this week and work my way through that backlog.

    For every drop of vinegar you put on your fries, you lose 10 drops of blood.

    If you went outside on a really windy day, you might blow away to Africa.

    Swallowed gum would stay in your stomach for 7 years.
