πŸ’­ Some Thoughts, 2023-10-24

  1. There is an initiative to turn a stretch of ocean along California’s Central Coast into a National Marine Sanctuary, and it needs your support. It’s a beautiful stretch of nature that deserves protection.
  2. U.S. scientists have laid out a plan to transition the country away from fossil fuels. Unfortunately, it will not happen with the current generation of political leaders. #urbanism
  3. X will start charging some newcomers a small fee. Charging for social media usage is a surefire way to get people to stop using said service. Please do it so everyone can finally move to Mastodon. #web and tech
  4. How can anyone trust a man who is anti-Wikipedia? #web and tech
  5. POSSE via Activitypub is the future I want for the internet, and it’s gaining more traction. #web and tech
  6. I’ve installed the Friends plugin on my blog. It’s one step closer to turning this site into its own fully functioning Mastodon instance, but it’s not yet there. #web and tech
  7. The Dodgers were eliminated from the playoffs immediately. Considering the roster, I think it’s fair to say the team overachieved during the regular season. Given that fact and the reported clubhouse troubles of rival teams (i.e. Giants and Padres), I think it’s time for Dodgers fans to show a little more respect towards Dave Roberts. #sports
  8. The Dodgers have about $100 million to spend for next season before they hit the luxury tax. Not acquiring at least one of Ohtani or Yamamoto would be a disappointment. #sports
  9. I’m glad to see the Rangers eliminate the Astros from championship contention. Congrats to Corey Seager on making it to another World Series. I’m rooting for the Phillies over the Diamondbacks tonight. #sports
