An idea: User-configurable aliases for URLs in web browser.

I find myself typing things like this a lot: https://subdomain.domain.ext/path/path2/[the only part of the URL that ever changes]

Would be nice if I could shorten that to something like @alias/[here's the bit that changes] instead.

Shoot is this a reason to actually run my own DNS server.

Norris in the back half of the grid. Albon at risk of being disqualified. My boys are having a bad day. :C

A lot of other sites working but relatively slow also, interesting.

Both Discord and All Bad Cards went down within seconds of each other. A CDN or something is being targeted perhaps?

Can’t sing them anywhere as good as Renée Goldsberry either, obvs.

I’m realising that I’ve passively managed to memorise like 95% of Angelica’s lines from “Satisfied” and can actually recite them at the correct (crazy fast) speed.

I might’ve listened to Hamilton too much.

CC @SassCSS, cuz if anyone can answer this definitively, it'll be them.

We’re really hitting peak tabloid journalism here, folks. UNRECOGNISABLE MAJOR TRANSFORMATION!!!

(She bleached her hair.)

I can still tweet, but my account isn't verified, so you don't know if it's really me tweeting.

I rolled past the new statue on the ex-Colston plinth earlier today, and aside from the large crowd of (principally black) folks getting photos and selfies with it, I gotta say, it's a much nicer statue than the previous one. Way more detailed, active and aspirational.

Man, those trophy-delivering robots at the were hilarious. (Also my favourite boys Norris and Albon did a good job so I'm happy.)

iOS 14’s control centre home app things are darn pretty, heck.

I did an okay drawing of my slightly redesigned fursona and actually I’m pretty proud of it.

This is me composing 9 tweet by writing it with my hard which 1 guess worke for some people with better handwriting

surreal dream about being confused in a Subway 

Had some surreal dream where I was in a Subway in the United States. I’ve never been to a Subway in the United States, and although outwardly it looked the same as any in the UK, everything seemed to work differently.

Most obvious to me (in said dream) was that the overhead menus didn’t list any “prebuilt” subs, nor was there a list of ingredients or anything, so I couldn’t plan ahead. The queue line was also backwards, so the first person I spoke to was the guy on the register.

He, in a thick Eastern European accent, asked me what kind of zarq I wanted. I asked what zarq was. He pointed to the array of squeezy sauce bottles they have to a larger one filled with tiny hard boiled eggs. I apologised, explaining that we don’t have zarq in Britain. I picked (the one and only) zarq.

I then got moved all the way over to the other end of the production line. Some bread had appeared (no option there, seemingly, also this footlong was only about 8 inches), and I was now being served by a black woman who—empathetic to how far into the deep end I appeared to be—helped by holding up the two different kinds of hard boiled eggs wrapped in bacon for me to choose from. I really couldn’t tell the difference, so I picked the “whomping” egg. An adjacent sandwich artist commented that I should’ve picked the other one, making some comment about coleslaw.

That’s when I woke up. I’m confused as to why my subconscious has a thing for hard boiled eggs right now.

Also hey I've been using CSS logical properties for the first time and yeah, these are neat. They would be right useful if I had more multilingual websites that needed building.
