Recently, a smart person told me I should spend the week hobbying. This is not the kind of suggestion that I need to hear more than once. Let’s make 5 gallons of soy sauce and age it in a whiskey barrel. The amount of soybeans and wheat required is exactly 1 Kitchenful.

The barrel will need to be stirred daily for a month, then every few days until it’s done in 6-18 months. At that point we’ll strain out the liquid with a small cider press. Which you presumably have somewhere near your fermentation chamber and barrel.

13 months later, this is fruity, funky, briny. Outstanding. Now does anyone have a recipe that calls for 4 gallons of soy sauce?

I am absolutely LIVID that this thing is going to crash before I hit 1,000 followers. What a travesty.

What happened to $8 free speech?
Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be permanently suspended

Wooooo we did it y’all!

Refresh Twitter. Refresh ex-Twitter slack # 1. Refresh ex-Twitter slack # 2. Repeat.

It’s only free speech if it costs $8

Stripe friends laid off today: I’m sorry. I know it stings. (I’m hiring DS, SWE, and PMs if you’d like to jump right back into it, but don’t feel bad about taking some time to just sit and process. Getting laid off is a shock.)

A step function in profitability has been staring us in the face this whole time.

I would pay 20 bucks a month for an edit button on someone else’s tweets.

Come on, we’re *so close*. Just make us buy vowels already. You know you want to.
Some news from inside Elon’s war room: Twitter is strongly considering making verified users pay $4.99 a month to keep their badges. Many questions remain. Subscribe to read ➡️ platformer.news/p/elons-firs…

Food vacations in Mexico are all fun and games until you get one of these right before you were planning to head home. Looks like I’m quarantining instead.

Despite having heard about it for years, the total loss of smell and taste is astonishing. Unlike when I’ve experienced the same with colds in the past, this time there is no congestion. I’ve merely lost one of my senses. The absence is so stark, it almost feels like numbness.

I miss smell the most in settings where it used to be a subtle, subconscious texture. A room full of wood that doesn't smell warm and earthy. A green garden that doesn't smell like fresh grass. Everything feels flatter, missing some dimension I've always taken for granted.
