Curious about this. Have seen this several times now. Citibikes seemingly off the grid, but chained up for later use. Anyone know what is going on here? If you don’t return a bike the hourly rates are nuts.

Announcing SkyLink, a new chrome extension for detecting new bluesky accounts while browsing the web! Like the good ol’ days of RSS, this simply lights up blue when you’re on a domain that's linked to a bluesky profile. Just click the icon to open their bluesky profile in a new tab.

Podcast post test: On today's pod: Looks like that Hollywood strike inspired by AI fears is on. Pornhub is boycotting Utah.
