It’s very funny that Microsoft’s initials outlasted NBC’s in their tv channel, even though NBC owned it for twenty years longer

For the younger ones - Johnny Cash’s long time wife died after when he recorded this song, but before he shot the video, and the heartbreak felt genuine. He died a few months later #XPNCountdown

#XPNCountdown: #3 Watchtower #2 Hurt #1 Dynamite Hack - Boys in the hood

#10 is way too low for this song. This should have been #1 #XPNCountdown

Africa is one of those songs that listening to CVS bangers has ruined for me. I keep expecting to hear the air horns #XPNCountdown www.mixcloud.com/TOLKIENBLACK...

#XPNCountdown I hope none of you got shushed!

@kallao.bsky.social was it you who played a joke #1 before the actual song? Is that what we’re referring to? #xpncountdown

Wait this is the live version that prince absolutely shreds on? I didnt know this was available anywhere but youtube! #XPNCountdown

I had NO IDEA killing me softly isn’t a Roberta Flack song! #XPNCountdown

Johnny Cash’s cover of one reminds me of the video of Chris Cornell covering Metallica AND U2’s One. It works surprisingly well youtu.be/MG9nqWoLjns #XPNCountdown

#XPNCountdown will we get anything funny for #420? Willie Nelson?

I have the hardest time keeping all the @awscloud.bsky.social security tools separate in my head. Guardduty, Inspector, Detective, Macie, Security hub, Trusted Advisor, Config. There’s too many similar names. I am not a crackpot.

#XPNCountdown I did not realize Georgia isn’t originally a Ray Charles song

#XPNCountdown we’ve reached the sad clown section of the countdown!

#XPNCountdown is the playlist out of sorts? Is Land of Confusion a Bruce Springsteen song?

#XPNcountdown as an IT person, watching the song list update in sync with the beginning of the song is very satisfying

#XPNCountdown Creep covers is almost a genre unto itself, but Prince’s is definitely one of the best💜

I’ll probably be posting a lot about this countdown in the next week, so if you’re not following along, feel free to mute #XPNcountdown

@wxpnfm.bsky.social played Judy Blue Eyes earlier, and I kept expecting Hennessy Youngman to shout all over it. The number of songs these silly mixtapes have ruined for me 🤣

It’s 1992. I’m in middle school. We’ve got Sunny D in the fridge, we’re going to see Home Alone 2, twitter doesn’t exist, and my biggest concern is what should be on my Christmas list. Thanks for the throwback @wxpnfm.bsky.social

I heard someone say said “it may be easier to get a passport first, and use that to get your real ID”. When a passport is the easier option, something’s gone very wrong

Happy “don’t sit on the cat because she’s sleeping under the comforter” season to all who celebrate

I’ve never been so happy for a paywall in all my life

I was just looking at AOL’s ownership history, and it seems impossible now that AOL bought Time Warner and not the other way around

The only thing I regret about not using Twitter anymore is not being followed by @barackobama.bsky.social and @npr.org. I won’t rest until I am followed on blue sky by a former president and a public broadcasting network.

One of the tragedies of our modern age is that there are only two podcasts with @notalawyer.bsky.social and someone named Michael being mean to people.

Happy Pythagorean triple square day to all who celebrate

“When fundraising it’s AI, when hiring it’s ML, and when implementing it’s logistic regression” was a current joke in good standing like 4 years ago

“Just give money to people who need it” shouldn’t be a controversial idea, but Philly has been testing it out and it’s making a big difference: Researchers anticipated their findings would show that cash assistance helped tenants, but "we were surprised by the magnitude of the effects" #giftlink

Perfect. On top of everything else, we’ve got radioactive wasps to worry about now

An old coworker used his personal laptop at work and once I had to type the letter p into his address bar and thats why you never use your personal laptop at work

I just learned that you can click links in a Powerpoint presentation shared through teams? What dark magic makes this possible?

Can’t wait until the decoder episode next year when Nilay interviews himself about how the verge’s core product is content moderation

I’m at a Primo Hoagies in Delaware county PA right now, and the entire staff is walking around quoting that Dan Deacon video drinking out of cups. 10/10 hoagie experience.

My power went out for a few hours over night. Even PECO’s not ready for this Clipse album!

PWD is paying supervisors 24x7 while this strike goes on, including double time on weekends. I wonder how many hours of this would equal the raise DC33 is asking for? Gift Link: share.inquirer.com/HQxwqH
